EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and lively print captures the excitement of the Velocipede Race in Bordeaux, France in 1868. The image showcases a group of women cyclists dressed in their original costumes, ready to compete in this thrilling event. The women are seen pedaling on their bicycles with determination and grace, showcasing both their athletic abilities and fashionable attire. Their dresses flow elegantly as they race against each other, creating a striking visual contrast between sport and fashion. In the background, a cheering crowd of spectators adds to the electric atmosphere of the race. The onlookers are captivated by the spectacle before them, eagerly supporting these pioneering female athletes. This artwork not only highlights an important moment in cycling history but also provides insight into 19th-century fashion trends. The intricate details captured by Durand Godefroy's engraving allow us to appreciate both the technical skill involved in creating such garments and their aesthetic appeal. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we can't help but be transported back to that time when bicycles were still a novelty and women were breaking barriers by participating in competitive sports. It serves as a reminder of how far society has come since then while celebrating these trailblazing women who challenged societal norms through their passion for cycling.
