EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late 19th century, capturing a moment of leisurely cycling in England. The image showcases three-wheel bicycles gliding down the Ripley Road, with their riders elegantly navigating through the picturesque English countryside. The wood engraving, created by American artist Joseph Pennell in 1887, beautifully captures the essence of Victorian-era architecture and style. The couple depicted in this scene exude an air of sophistication as they enjoy a summer day out on their bicycles. The Cotswold landscape serves as a stunning backdrop for this snapshot of history. The dirt road adds an element of authenticity, reminding us that these early cyclists were pioneers venturing off the beaten path. Intriguingly, this image hints at more than just leisurely bicycling; it suggests competition and racing too. Perhaps these individuals were partaking in a friendly race or training to become skilled competitors themselves. As we gaze upon this vintage print from Granger Art on Demand's collection, we are transported to a different era where cycling was not only a means of transportation but also an activity enjoyed for pleasure and sport. It is fascinating to see how much has changed since then while appreciating the timeless joy found in exploring new landscapes on two (or three) wheels.
