EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exhilarating atmosphere of cycle racing at the Crystal Palace. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The cyclists can be seen speeding around the track, their determination evident on their faces as they compete for victory. The historic significance of this event is highlighted by its inclusion in "The Kings Empire" a book introduced by W. H. Fitchett and published by Cassell in 1910. This photograph serves as an illustration within the book, showcasing not only the popularity of cycle racing but also its cultural importance during that era. King Edward VII himself was known to have been fond of cycling, further emphasizing the significance of this sport during early 20th-century Europe. The Crystal Palace served as a prestigious venue for such races, attracting participants from across London and even beyond. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back in time to witness an exciting moment in history when bicycles were symbols of freedom and progress. It reminds us that sports have always played a vital role in society, bringing people together and igniting passions that transcend borders. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind capturing such moments and our shared human connection through sporting events throughout history.
