EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the late 19th century with this wood engraving capturing the intensity and excitement of an indoor bicycle race. The year is 1880, and we find ourselves at the American Institute in New York City, where a thrilling Twenty-Four Mile Race is taking place. The image showcases a bustling interior arena filled with enthusiastic spectators eagerly watching as skilled riders compete for victory. Men from all walks of life gather here, their eyes fixed on the high-wheeled penny farthing bicycles that dominate the scene. These daring racers push themselves to their limits, pedaling furiously around the track in pursuit of glory. The wood engraving transports us back to a time when bicycling was gaining popularity as both a sport and means of transportation in North America. It serves as a testament to the growing fascination with this new form of mobility and competition. As we examine every intricate detail within this print, we can almost hear the cheers from the crowd and feel our hearts racing alongside these fearless cyclists. This piece from The Granger Collection captures not only an exhilarating moment frozen in time but also reflects upon how sports have evolved over centuries while still retaining their ability to captivate audiences worldwide.
