1897 Advertising Bicycling Dress Exercise Logo
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, immersing us in a world of vintage charm. The image showcases an advertisement from an English newspaper in 1897, promoting boys and girls bicycles. However, it is the young girl on her bicycle that steals the spotlight. Dressed in a fashionable attire of the era, she exudes elegance and confidence as she rides through what appears to be a park or garden. The advertisement itself is a testament to the power of visual storytelling. The carefully designed logo catches our attention while the text conveys a message about exercise and bicycling for both genders. It serves as a reminder that even during those times, physical activity was encouraged for everyone. Beyond its advertising purpose, this print also offers glimpses into history and culture. It reflects how society perceived gender roles at that time – with separate bicycles marketed specifically for boys and girls. Moreover, it captures the essence of fashion trends prevalent during this period. As we admire this beautiful piece by The Granger Collection, we are transported to an era where cycling was not just seen as transportation but also as an enjoyable pastime – one that allowed individuals like this young girl to experience freedom and joy on two wheels.
