EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "A Trip on a Tricycle Chair," is a visual narrative of an unforgettable journey that leads to disastrous consequences for its young protagonist. The image, created in 1890, is a testament to the thrills and spills of early transportation and the human propensity for taking risks. At the top right of the illustration, we see a young man in a bowler hat, eagerly purchasing a new and fashionable tricycle chair from a dealer. The tricycle chair, a popular mode of transportation in the late 19th century, was a three-wheeled vehicle with a chair-like seat for the rider. In the middle row, the young man takes the tricycle to collect his young fiancée, a demurely dressed woman, who is delighted by the new acquisition. The couple sets off on their journey, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. However, in the bottom row, the joyride takes a disastrous turn as the young man loses control of the tricycle, and it crashes into a ditch. The couple is left stranded, their faces reflecting shock and disappointment. As they walk home, the caption reads, "But we don't speak now." This historical illustration, from the Illustrated London News, provides a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the thrills and challenges of early transportation and the importance of caution and control. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical art and a fascinating insight into the past.
