EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Cyclists at the Easter Volunteer Review" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of military reviews during that era. The scene depicts a column of stiff and alert cyclists preparing for their march, as they receive instructions from their commanding officers. Mounted on bicycles, these dismounted cyclists form a formidable force ready to take on any challenge. The image showcases both male and female cyclists, highlighting the inclusive nature of this sporting activity even in those times. As they leave behind Salisbury and Guildford, these brave sportsmen and sportswomen ascend Hogs Back with determination etched on their faces. This artwork not only celebrates the spirit of cycling but also pays homage to the armed forces who embraced this new mode of transportation for combat purposes. It serves as a reminder that bicycles were not just vehicles for leisurely bike rides but also played an important role in military operations. With its intricate details and historical significance, this engraving is a testament to the evolving nature of warfare tactics throughout time. It immortalizes an era when bicycles became more than just means of transport; they transformed into powerful tools used by cavalry regiments and combat units alike.
