EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1896, showcases a sporty and emancipated young Frenchwoman as she skillfully mounts her bicycle. The bike, a man's model with a crossbar, is a testament to the growing popularity of cycling as a pastime for women during the late Victorian era. Dressed in a practical and picturesque divided skirt, the woman demonstrates both her confidence and her adaptability to the changing times. Divided skirts, also known as bloomers, allowed for greater freedom of movement and were a symbol of women's increasing independence and rejection of traditional gender roles. The woman's outfit is completed with a stylish boater hat and a blouse, adding to her chic and modern appearance. Her determined expression and posture convey a sense of adventure and excitement as she prepares to embark on a journey. The photograph captures a moment in history when transportation methods were evolving and women were asserting their place in the world beyond the domestic sphere. Cycling became a symbol of the newfound freedom and independence that women were experiencing, and this image is a beautiful representation of that spirit. The photograph's composition and lighting add to its timeless appeal, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past and a reminder of the transformative power of fashion and technology in shaping societal norms.
