Step back in time to the late Victorian era of 1896, as we take a peek into the bustling world of a bicycle showroom in the heart of Leeds, Yorkshire. This stunning stationery print, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us to an era of innovation and excitement, as the bicycle craze swept across the nation. The large, ornate billhead showcases the name "John Dyson, Agent" in elegant script, with the tagline "Wholesale and Retail Trade - Cycles, Cycle Accessories, and Spare Parts." The image below depicts a grand and spacious showroom, filled with an impressive array of bicycles, each one gleaming in the sunlight that streams in through the large windows. At the center of the room, a race track has been set up, complete with a starting gate and a cheering crowd. The atmosphere is electric, as riders prepare for a race, their determination and focus evident as they adjust their saddles and check their tires. The bicycles, with their large wheels and intricate designs, are a testament to the industrial prowess of the time. The stationery also bears the logo of Thomas Cook & Sons, the renowned travel agency, highlighting the connection between transportation and leisure during this period. The handwriting on the billhead is neat and precise, reflecting the professionalism and attention to detail that were hallmarks of the trade industry. This print offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where the simple joy of cycling brought people together and ignited a passion for adventure and exploration. Whether you're an avid cycling enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of history, this stationery print is sure to inspire and delight.
