EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Advert, The Cooper Cycling Skirt," showcases a woman in an Edwardian era setting, gracefully riding a bicycle while wearing the innovative Cooper Cycling Skirt. The image, taken in 1901, was captured by the renowned photographer, Terry Parker, at J Strutt, located on London Road in Kingston-on-Thames, Surrey. The Cooper Cycling Skirt was a groundbreaking fashion item designed specifically for women who enjoyed cycling. Traditional women's clothing, such as long, flowing skirts, were not practical for cycling, making it a challenge for women to participate in this popular form of modern transport. The Cooper Cycling Skirt addressed this issue by providing a divided skirt that allowed for greater freedom of movement while riding a bicycle. In the photograph, the woman wears a stylish blouse and a Cooper Cycling Skirt, which is held up by suspenders attached to her stockings. Her posture is confident and poised, and her expression suggests a sense of enjoyment and liberation as she rides her bicycle, a Comet model, with ease. The serene setting along the Thames adds to the overall charm of the image. The Cooper Cycling Skirt revolutionized women's cycling attire, making it possible for them to fully embrace the sport and experience the thrill of cycling without compromising their fashion sense. This photograph is a testament to the impact of the Cooper Cycling Skirt on women's cycling culture during the early 1900s and serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of this iconic fashion item.
