EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1869, capturing a moment in American history when the Sturdy and Youngs Circular Velocipede was all the rage. The wood engraving showcases this innovative contraption, which was a precursor to modern bicycles. Set in what appears to be a picturesque park, men and women of various ages can be seen enjoying this new form of recreation. Dressed in their finest attire, these individuals exude elegance as they ride around on their velocipedes. Men sport top hats while women don stylish dresses, reflecting the fashion trends of the time. The circular design of these velocipedes adds an element of uniqueness to the scene. It almost resembles a carousel with its ring-shaped structure that allows riders to effortlessly pedal along. This image perfectly encapsulates America's fascination with amusement during this era. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it is impossible not to appreciate how far technology has come since then. This print serves as a reminder that even in simpler times, people sought out ways to have fun and embrace new experiences – just like we do today.
