EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming pen and ink drawing by Charles Dana Gibson captures the essence of a late 19th-century romance. Titled "Is Bicycling Bad For The Heart?", the artwork depicts a Victorian couple leaning against a split rail fence, engaged in conversation. The man, wearing a dapper hat, appears to be wooing his suitor with his gentlemanly charm. Meanwhile, the woman exudes elegance and grace as she listens attentively. Created in 1897, this piece reflects the growing popularity of bicycling during that era. As transportation methods evolved, bicycles became an accessible means for individuals to explore their surroundings and engage in leisure activities together. However, it also raises questions about potential health concerns associated with cycling. Gibson's signature style shines through in this illustration known as "Gibson Girl" which was highly influential at the time. His ability to capture intricate details and emotions adds depth to this scene of courtship amidst a picturesque setting. This print serves as both an artistic representation of American life during the late 1800s and an exploration of societal attitudes towards physical activity and its impact on matters of the heart. It invites viewers to ponder whether or not bicycling truly affects one's cardiovascular health or if it is merely an excuse for these two lovebirds to spend more time together outdoors.
