EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of bicycling. The image showcases an American invention from 1869, known as Samuels patent hand crank velocipede. This wood engraving depicts a high-wheel tricycle with a unique hand crank mechanism, which was considered revolutionary at the time. The rider, dressed in typical 1860s attire, sits proudly atop this innovative contraption. With determination on his face, he embodies the spirit of adventure and recreation that cycling has always represented. This piece of art provides us with a glimpse into daily life in America during this period. Bicycling as a sport was gaining popularity in the late 19th century, and this engraving serves as evidence of its growing influence. It symbolizes not only technological advancements but also the freedom and thrill associated with riding on two wheels. The fine details captured by The Granger Collection highlight both the craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate machinery and the skill required to maneuver it effectively. This print is not just about transportation; it represents progress, innovation, and human ingenuity. As we admire this historical artifact today, we can appreciate how far bicycles have come since their humble beginnings.
