The subject of the photograph, Montague Holbein, exudes confidence as he prepares to embark on a leisurely ride through the scenic countryside. Dressed in a stylish cycling outfit consisting of a flat cap, stiff butterfly wing collar, and knickerbockers, Holbein epitomizes the fashion trends of his era. His attire not only reflects the sartorial choices prevalent at the time but also showcases his dedication to embracing this new form of recreation.
