EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the late 19th century, capturing a moment of excitement and camaraderie among members of The Germantown Bicycle Club in Pennsylvania. The wood engraving, created in 1880 by W. P Snyder, beautifully depicts the start of a thrilling race. As the bugler sounds his bugle, signaling the beginning of the competition, we see a group of men on their high-wheeled penny farthing bicycles eagerly pedaling away. They are surrounded by lush forest scenery, highlighting the natural beauty that served as their racing backdrop. The image not only showcases an important aspect of American daily life during this time but also reflects the growing popularity of bicycling as a recreational activity and competitive sport. Spectators can be seen watching from afar, adding to the atmosphere and anticipation surrounding this event. The attention to detail in this wood engraving is remarkable; every line etched with precision captures both motion and stillness simultaneously. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to glimpse into North America's cycling culture over a century ago. It reminds us that even amidst technological advancements, some things remain timeless – like our love for friendly competition and exploring nature on two wheels.
