EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1914, we see George C. Maynard, the esteemed curator of technology at the United States National Museum, proudly posing with an old velocipede. Standing outside the east entrance of the Arts and Industries Building at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D. C. , Maynard exudes a sense of authority and knowledge as he stands confidently beside this early form of transportation. The antique velocipede itself is a remarkable sight to behold. Known as a "boneshaker" due to its rigid frame and lack of suspension, it represents an important milestone in the evolution of bicycles. Its large front wheel and smaller rear wheel are made apparent in this portrait, showcasing both its unique design and technological advancements for its time. Maynard's distinguished appearance adds another layer to this intriguing image. With his well-groomed beard, neatly tied bow tie, and impeccably tailored suit, he embodies professionalism while also hinting at his passion for history and innovation. This photograph serves as a testament to Maynard's dedication to preserving our technological heritage through his work as curator. It captures not only an iconic piece from America's past but also pays tribute to those who tirelessly strive to safeguard our cultural artifacts for future generations.
