EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1884, showcasing a remarkable American bicyclist named Thomas Stevens. With determination in his eyes and an adventurous spirit, Stevens embarked on an extraordinary journey from San Francisco, California, all the way to Boston, Massachusetts. His audacious goal? To bicycle around the world. Captured in a wood engraving from an American newspaper of that era, this image encapsulates both the excitement and challenges faced by early cyclists. The penny farthing bicycle he rides stands tall with its large front wheel and small rear wheel – a symbol of innovation at that time. Stevens himself is portrayed as a man ahead of his time; sporting a high moustache that adds character to his determined expression. This image not only represents one man's incredible feat but also reflects America's growing fascination with recreation and transportation during this period. Bicycling was more than just a sport for Stevens; it was a testament to human endurance and exploration. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we are reminded of the daily life experiences that shaped our nation's history. The Granger Collection has once again brought us an exquisite piece of art that captures both the essence of adventure and nostalgia for simpler times when men like Thomas Stevens dared to dream big - inspiring generations yet unborn.
