EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1890 showcases the remarkable talent of young Eddie Schwalbach, a resident of Brooklyn. At just eighteen months old, Eddie defied all odds by mastering the art of bicycling. The engraving beautifully captures this extraordinary moment in history, reflecting the spirit of late 19th-century America. In this portrait, Eddie is seen confidently perched on his tiny bicycle, wearing clothing typical for that era. His wide-brimmed hat adds a touch of charm to his determined expression. This illustration originally appeared in Harper's Weekly, a renowned publication known for its coverage of cultural phenomena during that period. The image transports us back to a time when bicycles were gaining popularity as symbols of freedom and progress. It serves as a testament to human resilience and the indomitable spirit found even within children. While we don't know much about Eddie beyond this photograph, it is evident that he possessed an exceptional talent at such a tender age. The turn-of-the-century backdrop further enhances our appreciation for his achievement. This print offers us not only an intriguing glimpse into history but also reminds us that greatness knows no age limits. It stands as an inspiring reminder that determination and passion can lead to extraordinary accomplishments – even when you're just starting out on two wheels!
