EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Blind Cyclists on their way from London to Derby; (the steerer of each machine could see), 1888" takes us back to a remarkable moment in history. Captured by an unknown creator and featured in The Graphic, an Illustrated Weekly Newspaper Volume 38, this image transports us to the late 19th century. In this extraordinary snapshot, we witness a group of visually impaired cyclists embarking on a challenging journey through the English countryside. Despite their disabilities, these brave men demonstrate incredible determination as they navigate dusty roads on their tricycles. The concept behind this rally is both unusual and inspiring. The portrait showcases the resilience of these individuals who defy societal expectations and limitations imposed upon them due to their visual impairments. It serves as a testament to human strength and the power of sport in overcoming adversity. As we delve into British history through this photograph, it reminds us that disability does not define one's abilities or dreams. These blind cyclists challenge our perceptions while showcasing the Victorian era's progressive mindset towards inclusivity. Preserved for over a century, this image offers insight into an often-overlooked aspect of transportation history. It stands as a tribute to those who dared to defy conventions and paved the way for future generations with disabilities seeking equal opportunities in sports and beyond.
