EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the triumphant moment of Mr A E Walters, the winner of the Anchor Shield, proudly returning to the Polytechnic Cycling Club on 23 March. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print is a testament to both sporting achievement and historical documentation. The image showcases a group of cyclists gathered around Mr Walters as he holds up his well-deserved trophy. The bicycles lined up behind them signify their shared passion for cycling and dedication to their sport. Amongst the crowd, a female cyclist stands out, highlighting gender inclusivity even in those times. The composition exudes excitement and camaraderie, with smiles adorning everyone's faces. It is evident that this event was not only about competition but also about fostering a sense of community within the Polytechnic Cycling Club. Published in The Illustrated London News on 30 March 1895, this photograph serves as an illustration of sportsmanship and determination during that era. Preserved in a private collection until now, it offers us a glimpse into history through its timeless depiction. Bridgeman Images has carefully curated this fine art print from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection. With its rich historical significance and captivating subject matter, this photograph reminds us of how sports can bring people together across time periods and generations.
