American Bicycle C1890 Card Cycle Cycling Display Dress Ladies Lithograph Skirt Transport Worn Knickerbockers

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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.

This vintage print from Universal Images Group (UIG) captures a fascinating glimpse into the world of cycling in America during the late 19th century. The display card showcases an elegant ladies' cycling dress, dating back to around 1890. What makes this attire particularly intriguing is the unique combination of a skirt worn over knickerbockers, which was considered revolutionary for its time. The lithograph beautifully depicts a woman confidently riding her bicycle while donning this fashionable ensemble. It highlights both style and practicality, as the skirt allows for freedom of movement while maintaining modesty. This image serves as a testament to the changing societal norms and evolving role of women in transportation and sports. Transportation played a crucial role in shaping society during this period, with bicycles becoming increasingly popular among all social classes. As more women embraced cycling as a means of independent mobility, specialized clothing like this became essential to accommodate their newfound freedom. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph offers us an opportunity to appreciate the artistry involved in creating such intricate lithographs. The attention to detail and vibrant colors bring life to an era long gone by.
