EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a captivating moment in history - the era of imperial and royal cyclists. Taken by an anonymous European photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases a group of distinguished individuals indulging in the popular sport of cycling. The photograph features prominent figures such as Prince Waldemar of Denmark, Prince George of Greece, Tzar Nicholas of Russia, Prince Charles of Denmark, and many others. Dressed in their regal attire, these royals exude elegance as they navigate through the countryside on their bicycles. The craze for cycling during this time is evident from the joyous expressions on their faces. The image not only highlights the pleasures derived from biking but also reflects how this sport transcended social boundaries and united people from different backgrounds. Amongst them is a female cyclist who stands out with her determination and sporting spirit. This serves as a reminder that women too played an active role in early sports culture. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes apparent that cycling was more than just a leisure activity for these individuals; it was a means to connect with nature while enjoying camaraderie with fellow enthusiasts. Preserved within private collections until now, this remarkable print allows us to glimpse into an era where royalty embraced new forms of recreation alongside their traditional duties. It serves as a testament to both the timeless appeal of cycling and its ability to bring people together regardless of status or background.
