EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white line drawing takes us back to the late 19th century, capturing a glimpse of the vibrant New York Bicycle Club. Located on West End Avenue and 72nd Street in Manhattan, this architectural gem stands tall with its bay windows, balconies, and a charming colonnade that adds an air of elegance to the building. The club's members were undoubtedly passionate about bicycling as they proudly display their penny farthing bicycles outside the clubhouse. The street scene is bustling with activity as people traverse the sidewalk, some even stopping to admire these magnificent machines. A flag flutters in the wind atop the roof, symbolizing unity among club members who shared a common love for cycling. Smoke gently rises from one of the chimneys nearby, adding a touch of nostalgia to this snapshot from bygone days. This illustration was originally featured in Harper's Weekly magazine in 1890 when cycling was gaining popularity as a recreational activity. It beautifully captures both the architecture of Northeastern American buildings at that time and showcases how bicycles became an integral part of urban life. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a reminder of how much has changed over time while also celebrating our enduring fascination with bicycles and their role in shaping cities like New York City.
