This print showcases the iconic Companion Safety Bicycle of 1939, a true testament to the evolution of transportation. Produced by John Player & Sons in London, this illustration captures the essence of cycling during the late 19th century. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this historical invention to life. In an era where road transport was still in its infancy, bicycles became a popular mode of travel for people from all walks of life. This particular image features a male cyclist confidently riding his bicycle along a scenic path. His determined expression reflects both the joy and freedom that cycling brought to individuals during this time.
