BICYCLING, 1887 - A Glimpse into America's Cycling Culture
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph from 1887 takes us back to a time when bicycles were the epitome of modern transportation and leisure. Created by L. Prang & Co. , after Henry Sandham, this American print captures the essence of late 19th-century bicycling. Set against a rustic dirt road in the countryside, men and women are seen pedaling on their high-wheeled penny farthing bicycles, also known as velocipedes. The image showcases both the thrill of speed and the joy of recreation that cycling brought to people during this era. The lithograph beautifully portrays an idyllic scene where individuals embrace the freedom offered by these two-wheeled wonders. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, it transports us to a time when cycling was not only a means of transportation but also a popular form of entertainment. As we admire this artwork, we can't help but appreciate how it reflects America's fascination with new technologies and its desire for exploration. Bicycling became more than just a mode of getting from one place to another; it symbolized progress and adventure. This remarkable lithograph serves as a testament to our enduring love affair with bicycles throughout history. It reminds us that even in simpler times, riding on two wheels had an undeniable allure that transcended generations.
