EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable Thomas Stevens, an English cyclist who achieved a historic feat in the late 19th century. With his trusty penny farthing bicycle by his side, Stevens became the first person to circumnavigate the Earth solely on two wheels. In this portrait, we see a determined and adventurous man ready to embark on an extraordinary journey that would push the boundaries of human endurance. The penny farthing, with its large front wheel and small rear wheel, stands as a symbol of both innovation and challenge. Stevens' achievement not only showcases his personal triumph but also represents a significant milestone in cycling history. His long-distance travel across continents reflects the spirit of exploration and adventure that characterized Victorian-era Britain. As we gaze at this image, we are transported back in time to witness an incredible moment in sporting history. It serves as a reminder of how one individual's determination can break barriers and inspire generations to come. This photograph is part of a private collection held by Look and Learn / Valerie Jackson Harris Collection, providing us with valuable insight into Stevens' groundbreaking accomplishment. It is truly an iconic piece that celebrates both British ingenuity and human resilience.
