1866 Bicycling High Pierre Recreation Sport Velocipede Wheel
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the revolutionary invention of the Velocipede in 1866, specifically Pierre Lallement's version. The contemporary line engraving beautifully captures the essence of this early form of transportation that would later evolve into modern bicycles. The image transports us back to a time when men in high and middle-class America embraced this new mode of transport as part of their daily lives. Bicycling was not just a means of getting from one place to another; it had become a popular sport and recreational activity. The French-born Lallement played a significant role in introducing this innovative contraption to American society. His velocipede, depicted here with intricate details, represents his contribution to shaping transportation history. As we gaze at this historical artifact, we can't help but marvel at how far we have come since then. This engraving reminds us that every great invention starts somewhere - even something as commonplace today as riding a bicycle. Granger Art on Demand has once again provided us with an extraordinary glimpse into our past through their collection. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply fascinated by history, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and spark curiosity about the evolution of transportation throughout time.
