EDITORS COMMENTS
. This line engraving captures a momentous event in American cycling history - the Third Annual Meet of the League of American Wheelmen. The image showcases a grand parade on Riverside Drive, New York, where an array of cyclists proudly display their wheels and skills. The scene is bustling with excitement as spectators line the streets to witness this extraordinary procession. Men from all walks of life come together to celebrate their shared passion for bicycling, showcasing the growing popularity and influence of this mode of transportation. Amongst the diverse collection of bicycles featured in the print, one cannot miss the iconic penny farthing - a symbol synonymous with early cycling culture. These high-wheeled wonders stand tall against their more standard counterparts, highlighting both innovation and tradition within this rapidly evolving industry. As police officers maintain order along Riverside Drive, it becomes evident that this bicycle meet was not just a casual gathering but rather an organized race or alliance. The energy emanating from this historic event is palpable through every stroke etched by C. D. Weldon's masterful hand. This remarkable print offers us a glimpse into North America's burgeoning love affair with bicycling during springtime in 1883. It serves as a testament to how bicycles were transforming cities like New York and bringing people together through shared interests and communal experiences.
