Bicycle Cycling Cyclist Cyclists Mending Puncture
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image, hailing from the early 1900s, transports us back in time to an era when cycling was a popular pastime and self-sufficiency was a valued skill. The photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, depicts a cyclist diligently mending a puncture in a tranquil English setting. Dressed in Victorian or Edwardian attire, the cyclist exudes an air of determination as he leans over his bicycle, his expression focused and intent. A lantern illuminates the scene, casting a warm, inviting glow over the scene and providing just enough light to allow the repair work to continue. The cyclist's tools, spread out around him, suggest that he is well-prepared for the task at hand. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the simplicity and self-reliance that were hallmarks of the cycling culture of the time. The bicycle, a symbol of freedom and adventure, was a beloved mode of transportation for many, and the ability to repair punctures on the go was a valuable skill that every cyclist worth their salt possessed. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of cycling and the spirit of adventure that has long been associated with this beloved pastime. It invites us to reflect on the joys of a simpler time, when the world seemed a little smaller, and the thrill of the open road was within reach for anyone with a bicycle and a determination to explore.
