EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorized print from 1895 showcases a cyclist navigating the bustling streets of London. The artist, Stephen T Dadd, beautifully captures the essence of this era's transportation and urban life. Riding a machine of the Rover safety type, the cyclist fearlessly pedals alongside a horse bus, drawing attention from a vigilant police constable. The image transports us back to a time when horses still played an integral role in public transport. The juxtaposition between modern cycling and traditional horse-drawn carriages highlights the rapid advancements in transportation during this period. Amidst the chaos of busy London traffic, we witness not only the skillful rider but also various elements that define Victorian society. Men donning bowler hats can be seen going about their daily occupations while passengers inside the omnibus observe this novel mode of travel. This illustration perfectly encapsulates both movement and stillness - capturing moments frozen in time as well as showcasing progress on wheels. It serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements, some aspects of our world remain constant. Stephen T Dadd's work is an invaluable historical artifact that allows us to reflect on how far we have come in terms of transportation and city life. It reminds us to appreciate our present-day conveniences while acknowledging those who paved the way for them.
