EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the essence of "An Afternoon at the Wheel Club, the Musical Ride". Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a delightful scene filled with women cyclists enjoying a leisurely afternoon ride. The setting is South Kensington's Hereford House, where Bolton Gardens and the prestigious Wheel Club provide a picturesque backdrop. The image depicts a group of female cyclists gracefully pedaling their bicycles along tree-lined paths. Their vibrant attire adds to the charm of this nostalgic scene. With their wheels spinning in unison, these sportswomen exude confidence and grace as they engage in this popular pastime. The engraving was originally published in The Graphic on August 22nd, 1896. It offers us a glimpse into an era when cycling was gaining popularity among women as both a recreational activity and means of transportation. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical artwork from its private collection. This print serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of cycling and highlights how it transcends gender boundaries even during times when societal norms were more restrictive. As we admire this lithograph, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also recognize how it represents an important milestone for female empowerment through sports and recreation.
