EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a unique piece of history - a Lallement bicycle from 1863/65, adorned with a handlebar decorated with a bird's head. The Lallement bicycle is showcased at the Science Museum in Milan and was prominently featured at the exhibition "Man on two wheels". The intricate detailing of the bird's head on the handlebar adds an element of whimsy to this vintage bicycle. It serves as a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of its time, showcasing how even functional objects like bicycles were transformed into works of art. The photograph itself was taken sometime between 1980-1990 by Graziella Pellicci, capturing not only the beauty of this historical artifact but also preserving it for future generations to admire. The composition highlights every intricate detail, allowing viewers to appreciate both the overall design and individual elements such as the loom-like wheel and rudder-inspired helm. Transportation has always been an essential aspect of human life, enabling us to explore new horizons and connect with distant places. This Lallement bicycle represents an important milestone in transportation history, marking our transition towards more efficient methods of travel. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time; imagining ourselves riding through cobblestone streets or embarking on grand adventures. It reminds us that while technology may have evolved over centuries, our fascination with exploration remains unchanged. In conclusion, Pellicci's photograph beautifully captures the essence of this Lallement bicycle - a symbol not just of transportation but also artistic expression. Its presence at the Science Museum in Milan allows visitors to step into history and appreciate how far we've come since those early days on two wheels.
