EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a piece of cycling history from the 1870s - the Penny Farthing or Ordinary Bicycle. The rider, dressed in contemporary cycling clothes, sits proudly atop this iconic high-wheeled bicycle, showcasing the unique design that was popular during this era.
The Penny Farthing bicycle, with its large front wheel and smaller rear wheel, was a symbol of status and innovation in the late 19th century. Its design allowed for greater speed and efficiency compared to earlier models, making it a favorite among cyclists of the time.
In this image, we see a glimpse into the past as the rider confidently navigates through streets while donning attire that reflects both style and functionality. The blend of historical charm and modern sensibilities is evident in every detail captured by the photographer.
As we admire this snapshot from 1896, we are reminded of how far cycling has come since its early days. The evolution of bicycles over time is truly remarkable, yet there is something timeless about seeing a rider on a Penny Farthing bike - it serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with two-wheeled transportation.
This print is not just a piece of art but also a window into an important chapter in cycling history. It allows us to appreciate where we have been while looking forward to where we are headed next in the world of cycling.
