EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the evolution of transportation with the Velocipedes - English celerifere - Draisienne, ancestor of the bicycle. Taken from a protective sleeve for school books in the late 19th century, this illustration by E Letellier takes us back to a time when cycling was still an outlandish concept. The image portrays a fascinating blend of art and history as it captures the essence of early French cycling culture. The Celerifere and Draisienne, also known as Hobby-Horse or Nobby Horse, were precursors to what we now know as bicycles. They symbolize innovation and progress in human transport vehicles. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this engraving. It beautifully depicts a sport that has become ingrained in our society today. From sportsmen to sportswomen, cyclists have embraced this form of exercise and recreation throughout history. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when these two-wheeled wonders were just beginning their journey into mainstream popularity. Stefano Bianchetti's skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also the historical significance behind these early bicycles. This print serves as a reminder that even seemingly ordinary objects can hold extraordinary stories within them. It invites us to reflect on how far we've come while appreciating those who paved the way for modern-day transportation innovations like bicycles.
