EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "CRUISHANK: VELOCIPEDE. Every Man on his Perch, or Going to the Hobby Fair" by George Cruikshanks takes us back to England in 1819, during a time when the velocipede mania was at its peak. This English cartoon engraving humorously captures the frenzy and excitement surrounding this new form of transportation. In the image, we see a bustling street filled with men of all ages riding their velocipedes towards a hobby fair. The scene is both chaotic and comical as these men perch atop their peculiar contraptions, pedaling furiously with determination. Their expressions range from sheer joy to utter madness, reflecting the obsession that gripped society during this fad. Cruikshanks' parody highlights not only the popularity but also the absurdity of this newfound mode of transport. With exaggerated features and exaggerated movements, he playfully mocks those who have succumbed to this craze. This print serves as a reminder of how quickly trends can sweep through society and capture people's imaginations. It also offers insight into human nature - our desire for novelty and our willingness to embrace new technologies without fully understanding them. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand an era where insanity met innovation on two wheels. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity while simultaneously reminding us that even seemingly insane ideas can shape our world in unexpected ways.
