1887 Advertising Bicycling Camera High Penny Penny Farthing Photography Wheel Farthing
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, specifically to the year 1887. It showcases an American newspaper advertisement for a revolutionary invention - the bicycle camera. The ad is a fascinating glimpse into the past, highlighting how transportation and photography merged in this era of innovation. The image features a classic penny farthing bicycle, also known as a high wheel or ordinary bicycle, which was popular during that time. This iconic symbol of early cycling stands proudly at the center of attention, representing both freedom and progress. The advertisement itself is cleverly designed with bold typography capturing one's attention instantly. It emphasizes the unique selling point of this cutting-edge device: combining two passions - bicycling and photography. The concept must have been truly groundbreaking at that time when cameras were bulky and not easily portable. Transportation enthusiasts would have eagerly embraced this technological marvel, envisioning countless adventures captured on film while exploring new horizons on their trusty bicycles. As we admire this historical artifact from Granger Art on Demand's collection, it reminds us of America's rich heritage in both advertising creativity and technological advancements. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a deeper narrative about human ingenuity and our constant pursuit of blending artistry with functionality.
