EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour print, titled "Bicycling, c. 1887" takes us back to a bygone era when cycling was gaining popularity as a recreational activity in the United States. The image captures the essence of turn-of-the-century America with its picturesque countryside and dirt road winding through an autumnal landscape. In this scene, men and women donning their fashionable costumes gather together for a leisurely ride on various types of bicycles. From tricycles to penny farthings (high wheelers), these early forms of transport were both practical and thrilling. The lithograph showcases the joyous spirit of cyclists as they navigate bends along the road, enjoying the freedom that cycling offers. It is evident that bicycling was not just a means of transportation but also a beloved sport enjoyed by both sportsmen and sportswomen alike. Henry Sandham's artwork beautifully captures the energy and camaraderie shared among this group of riders. Their presence adds life to the tranquil setting, reminding us that even in simpler times, people sought adventure and recreation. As we admire this historic print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of transportation and leisure activities. Yet it also inspires us to appreciate those who paved the way for our modern-day love affair with cycling - an enduring pastime that continues to bring joy to countless individuals around the world today.
