This print captures a significant moment in the history of cycling. The image showcases Keen's Cycle Manufactory, located at Giggshill Green in Thames Ditton, Surrey. In front of the bicycle workshop and repair shop stands a group of individuals, presumably employees or associates of John Keen himself. John Keen, also known as Happy Jack, was not only a professional cyclist but also an esteemed manufacturer of bicycles during his time. By 1878, he had gained recognition as the fastest rider in the world. This photograph dates back to the late 19th century when Keen established his business manufacturing bicycles. The location itself holds historical significance as it is situated adjacent to The Angel public house on Angel Road.
