EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Novel Tandem of the 90s, 1939" takes us back to a bygone era of transportation. The image is part of the renowned collection "Cycling 1839-1939" by John Player & Sons, London in 1939. In this snapshot, we witness a fascinating scene that encapsulates the spirit of adventure and camaraderie. A tandem bicycle, an emblematic symbol of shared experiences, takes center stage as it glides along a picturesque road. Two individuals - one male and one female - gracefully pedal together with synchronized movements. The composition exudes charm and nostalgia; it transports us to the late 19th century when cycling was gaining popularity as both a means of transport and leisure activity. The woman's attire reflects the fashion trends of her time: an elegant dress flowing beneath her riding coat while she confidently grips onto the handlebars. The man complements her style with his dapper suit and hat. This illustration captures not only their physical journey but also their emotional connection as they explore new horizons together on this novel mode of transport. It serves as a reminder that even in times past, women were active participants in shaping societal norms. Preserved through time on this cigarette card from John Player & Sons' collection, this print allows us to appreciate how bicycles have transcended generations as symbols of freedom, empowerment, and shared experiences between men and women alike.
