EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this Victorian advertisement for a bicycle retailer in the industrial town of Burnley. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of innovation and excitement as the bicycle revolutionized transportation. The advertisement features a dapper cyclist in Edwardian attire, confidently pedaling a high-wheel bicycle, also known as a penny-farthing, against a backdrop of a bustling townscape. Lantern slides like this one were used for presentations and lectures during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, making this advertisement a fascinating glimpse into the past. The retailer's name and location are not mentioned in the advertisement, but the Stanley Cycle Agency logo is prominently displayed on the bicycle, hinting at a possible connection. The Stanley Cycle Agency was a renowned British bicycle manufacturer that operated from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. The early days of cycling were marked by a sense of adventure and freedom, as the bicycle offered a new mode of transportation that was accessible to the masses. This advertisement captures the spirit of those times, inviting us to imagine the thrill of riding a bicycle for the first time and the sense of pride in owning one from a reputable retailer like the one depicted here. The intricate details of the advertisement, from the cyclist's clothing to the townscape in the background, offer a wealth of information about Victorian culture and the burgeoning bicycle industry. This vintage lantern slide is not only a beautiful piece of art but also a valuable historical document that tells the story of a bygone era.
