EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph "Men were Deceivers ever" by William Ralston takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the humorous and eventful lives of men and women during that era. The print, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for The Graphic in June 1898. In this lively scene, we find ourselves immersed in a world filled with mischief and adventure. A group of lady cyclists finds themselves in quite the predicament as they navigate through fields and stiles on their bicycles. One cyclist has fallen off her bike while another gallant gentleman attempts to rescue her purse from a ruffian who carelessly asks for it. Meanwhile, exhausted male cyclists ride by pretending not to notice the commotion, while others offer water bottles to quench their thirst after a long day's ride. In the background, police patrol the roadside ensuring everyone's safety. This engraving captures both the challenges faced by female cyclists at that time and their determination to overcome them with grace and humor. It reminds us that appearances can be deceiving; even though men may have been deceivers ever so often, these women prove themselves resilient against any obstacle thrown their way. With its detailed depiction of Victorian fashion, transport, and sporting activities like cycling - which was gaining popularity among both genders - this print offers an intriguing window into an era gone by.
