EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and witness the thrilling spectacle of Penny Farthing Trick Cyclists at the Circus! This enchanting engraving, dated circa 1888, captures the excitement and daring of a bygone era. Two acrobats, dressed in colorful costumes and wearing top hats, perform death-defying tricks on a Penny Farthing bicycle. The Penny Farthing, an iconic symbol of the late 19th century, was the first bicycle design to gain widespread popularity. Its large front wheel and small rear wheel made for a unique and challenging riding experience. The circus, a beloved form of entertainment since the 18th century, provided the perfect stage for these brave cyclists to showcase their skills. The audience, gathered around the ring, watches in awe as the cyclists perform impressive feats, such as standing on the tiny rear seat or even balancing on the very thin and high front wheel. This historical image, imported from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. It not only highlights the innovative Penny Farthing bicycle but also showcases the acrobatic prowess and the captivating allure of the circus during the late Victorian era. The intricate details of the engraving, with its dynamic compositions and fine lines, add to the overall charm and appeal of this image. A true masterpiece that transports us back in time and reminds us of the rich history and traditions that continue to inspire us today.
