In the vibrant American lithograph advertising poster for Northampton bicycles, Penfield transports us back to the turn of the century. The image exudes energy and freedom as cyclists race through bustling streets, their Northampton bicycles gliding effortlessly beneath them. One cannot help but marvel at Penfield's attention to detail in his depiction of historical coaches. In "Coach of 1640, " he captures the elegance and grandeur of a bygone era, while "English Post Chaise of 1780" takes us on a journey through time with its intricate design and regal presence. "The Windsor Coach" is another testament to Penfield's mastery. Its exquisite craftsmanship and rich colors transport us straight into the heart of royal luxury. Meanwhile, "French Post Chaise of 1760" evokes images of romance and adventure along picturesque European landscapes.

From portraits like Bismarck: The Man and the Statesman to capturing simple yet profound scenes such as Spanish farmers with burros or bookplates adorned with woodcuts from c1900 – each piece tells its own story within this vast collection spanning genres. Finally, we are drawn into Harpers April 1898 Man in the foreground playing golf.
