EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1899 showcases the remarkable invention of a tandem motorcycle. The image depicts a team of skilled motorcycle racers, their determined faces hidden beneath leather helmets, as they navigate this innovative contraption. Created through the artistry of wood engraving by an unknown French artist, it beautifully captures the essence of teamwork and collaboration. The tandem motorcycle itself is a testament to human ingenuity and progress in transportation during the late 19th century. With its two seats positioned one behind the other, it allowed for synchronized movement between riders, requiring impeccable coordination and trust. This unique design pushed boundaries in racing competitions at that time. The men depicted in this artwork exude confidence and determination as they prepare for an exhilarating race ahead. Their passion for speed is palpable through their body language - leaning forward with anticipation, hands firmly gripping the handlebars. Beyond being just a mere mode of transport or means to compete, this image symbolizes unity and camaraderie amongst these daring individuals who shared a common love for motorcycling. It serves as a reminder that even back then, success was often achieved through collective effort rather than individual prowess. Preserved by The Granger Collection's archives, this historical gem offers us a glimpse into an era when motorcycles were still novel inventions on wheels - paving the way for future advancements that would shape our modern world.
