1860s Bicycling High Invention Recreation Sport Velocipede Wheel
EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1869 showcases the McDonalds adjustable bicycle, a remarkable invention of its time. The image transports us back to the bustling streets of America in the late 19th century, where men clad in high and middle-class attire enjoy the newfound sport of bicycling. The intricate details captured by this engraving highlight not only the innovative design of the bicycle but also depict a snapshot of daily life during this era. The riders are seen gracefully maneuvering their velocipedes with great skill and enthusiasm, showcasing their love for this exhilarating recreational activity. Bicycling emerged as a popular pastime during the 1860s, offering people an exciting means to explore their surroundings while promoting physical fitness. This print serves as a testament to how sports and recreation have always played an integral role in American society. As we admire this historical artifact, it is important to note that "McDonalds" refers solely to the name associated with this particular adjustable bicycle model and does not pertain to any commercial use or affiliation with today's well-known fast-food chain. Preserved by The Granger Collection, this wood engraving offers us a glimpse into an era when bicycles were still evolving and becoming more accessible to individuals across America. It stands as a tribute to human ingenuity and our constant pursuit of new ways to enhance our lives through innovation.
