This print titled "BICYCLE TOURNAMENT, 1886" takes us back to the late 19th century in Springfield, Massachusetts. The image showcases a thrilling bicycle tournament that captured the hearts of many Americans during this era. The wood engraving, created in 1886 by Henry Sandham, beautifully depicts the intense competition taking place on a high course. Men from all walks of life gather here to showcase their skills and endurance on their penny farthing bicycles - also known as high wheelers or ordinaries.

The riders' determination is palpable as they navigate through twists and turns with remarkable agility. Springfield's rich history as a hub for bicycling enthusiasts shines through in this artwork. It serves as a testament to how cycling has always been more than just a means of transportation; it represents freedom, adventure, and healthy competition.
