EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Granger Art on Demand takes us back to the late 19th century, a time when bicycles were becoming increasingly popular. The image showcases Miss Eleanor Tecklenburg, Philadelphia's most famous lady rider of that era. In this line drawing illustration, we see Miss Tecklenburg standing proudly with her bicycle, exuding confidence and grace. Her portrait captures the essence of a strong and independent woman who defied societal norms by embracing this new mode of transportation. The clothing she wears is typical of the turn of the century fashion - a long skirt paired with a fitted jacket and a stylish hat adorned with feathers. This attire not only reflects the fashion trends of that time but also highlights her elegance even while engaging in such an unconventional activity for women. Miss Tecklenburg's contribution to promoting bicycling as both an enjoyable pastime and means of transportation cannot be overstated. Her fame extended beyond Philadelphia, making her an inspiration for women across America during this period. This historical photograph serves as a reminder of how far society has come in terms of gender equality and individual freedom. It celebrates Miss Eleanor Tecklenburg's pioneering spirit as well as pays homage to all those who challenged societal norms to pave the way for future generations.
