EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fascinating evolution of bicycles during the 19th century. Dating back to around 1920, this image takes us on a journey through time, revealing the various designs that emerged during this transformative period. Starting with the Kirkpatrick bicycle from 1839, we witness its simple yet innovative structure. Moving forward, we encounter the Phantom bicycle of 1869, which exhibits advancements in both design and functionality. The Bicyclette of 1879 introduces a more refined aesthetic while maintaining practicality for riders. The Otto Dicycle of 1881 catches our attention with its unique double-wheel configuration, demonstrating experimentation and creativity within bicycle engineering. As we progress further along this evolutionary timeline, we come across the Kangaroo bicycle from 1884 - an intriguing name that hints at its distinctive features. Finally, our eyes are drawn to the Rudge model also introduced in 1884. This particular design represents a significant leap forward in terms of comfort and efficiency for cyclists. Through this illustration extracted from Walter Hutchinson's "Story of the British Nation" we gain insight into how road transport evolved throughout Victorian times. It is a testament to human ingenuity as well as Charles Darwin's theory of evolution applied beyond biology. With each new iteration depicted here, it becomes evident that these early bicycles paved the way for modern-day transportation on two wheels. This monochrome masterpiece serves as a reminder not only of our past but also inspires us to continue pushing boundaries when it comes
