EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time - a Penny-Farthing accident that occurred around 1890. The image showcases the aftermath of a humorous yet painful mishap involving this iconic high wheel bicycle. The Penny-Farthing, also known as the high wheeler or ordinary, was a popular mode of transportation during the late 19th century before the advent of safety bicycles. With its large front wheel towering over its much smaller rear wheel, it symbolized an era of daring adventure and innovation. In this particular scene, we see a man sprawled on the ground next to his toppled Penny-Farthing. His face contorted with pain and surprise as he grapples with the consequences of his unfortunate crash. A young boy stands nearby, wide-eyed and curious about what has just unfolded before him. The image not only captures an amusing incident but also serves as a testament to the risks involved in early transportation methods. It reminds us that progress often comes at a cost - even when riding something as seemingly whimsical as a Penny-Farthing. With its vintage charm and timeless appeal, this photographic print offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into history while evoking laughter and sympathy for those who dared to ride these magnificent contraptions.
