To the Paris Exhibition on a Tandem Bicycle
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the spirit of adventure and excitement during the summer of 1889. In this lithograph by Joseph Pennell, we are transported to a time when cycling was not only a means of transportation but also an exhilarating sport. The image showcases two cyclists, possibly Elizabeth Robins Pennell and her husband Joseph, embarking on a daring journey from Mantes to Paris for the renowned Paris Exhibition. The tandem bicycle they ride symbolizes their unity and shared passion for exploration. As they pedal through the picturesque Forest of St Germain, their eyes are drawn towards the majestic Eiffel Tower in the distance. The view is breathtaking as they pass an old bridge over the Seine River, capturing both nature's beauty and man-made marvels. This print encapsulates not just a physical journey but also represents breaking societal norms. It portrays Elizabeth Robins Pennell as an independent sportswoman challenging gender roles at that time. The engraving skillfully depicts every detail, from the lush greenery surrounding them to glimpses of Rouen's Grosse Horologe in Upper Normandy. This artwork transports us back in time to experience France's rich history and vibrant culture while celebrating sportsmanship and teamwork. With its timeless charm, "To the Paris Exhibition on a Tandem Bicycle" serves as a reminder that true adventure knows no bounds - whether it be exploring new places or defying conventional expectations.
