EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph sheet music cover, titled "BICYCLES: SONGSHEET, 1869" takes us back to the vibrant era of the Velocipede Set in America. Created by Thomas Sinclair and published in Philadelphia in 1869, this artwork beautifully captures the spirit of recreation and adventure that surrounded early bicycling. In the center of the image, we see a group of men and women dressed in their finest attire, eagerly engaging with their bicycles. The high-wheel design of these velocipedes adds an element of excitement and novelty to the scene. It is fascinating to witness how this new mode of transportation brought people from all walks of life together for shared enjoyment. Sinclair's skillful use of lithography brings out intricate details on both the riders' clothing and their bicycles. The composition exudes energy as it showcases individuals confidently riding through a picturesque landscape – perhaps symbolizing progress and freedom. As we admire this historical piece, it reminds us not only of our love for cycling but also highlights how bicycles have played a significant role in shaping American culture throughout history. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our constant pursuit of leisure activities that bring joy to our lives. The Granger Collection has once again curated an extraordinary piece that allows us to appreciate art's ability to transport us across time while celebrating an essential aspect of American heritage – bicycling.
