EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of late 19th-century New York City. The scene depicts a couple embarking on a romantic ride along Riverside Drive, their silhouettes illuminated by the soft glow of gas lamps that line the street. As they pedal through the dirt road on their penny farthing bicycles, one can almost feel the excitement and freedom that bicycling brought during this time. The enchanting Victorian atmosphere is beautifully captured in this American line engraving after Thure de Thulstrup's original artwork from 1886. It transports us to an era when daily life was intertwined with elegance and grace. The image showcases not only a mode of transportation but also a symbol of status and leisure for the upper class. Set against the backdrop of Riverside Park and its majestic river views, this print encapsulates both natural beauty and urban sophistication. It offers a glimpse into New York City's gilded age, where high society mingled with nature in pursuit of pleasure. As we admire this piece from Granger Art on Demand's collection, it serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling city life, there were moments for romance and escapism. This timeless depiction invites us to imagine ourselves pedaling alongside these lovers under starlit summer skies – experiencing firsthand what it meant to embrace adventure in an ever-evolving metropolis like New York City.
