EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to France in the year 1868. The image captures a moment of leisure and adventure as Prince Napoleon of France, a member of the imperial family, confidently pedals his velocipede through the enchanting forest at Compiegne. This contemporary wood engraving beautifully portrays an era when bicycles were still a novelty and cycling was emerging as a popular sport. The prince's regal presence is juxtaposed against the rustic surroundings, highlighting both his privileged status and his willingness to embrace new forms of transportation. With determination etched on his face, he navigates the uneven terrain with grace and skill. His high wheel bicycle stands tall, symbolizing progress and innovation. This image not only offers us a glimpse into the daily life of French nobility during that time but also speaks to the transformative power of technology in shaping society. It reminds us that even those born into privilege can find joy in simple pleasures like bicycling through nature. As we admire this historical snapshot captured by The Granger Collection, let us appreciate how far we have come since then while cherishing our own moments of recreation and exploration on two wheels.
