EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and lively print captures the exhilarating atmosphere of a velocipede race at Jardin du Luxembourg in 1818. The scene is filled with an array of characters, from fashionable ladies donning plumed feather hats to dandy gentlemen sporting cocked hats and top hats. Spectators line the edges of the race track, eagerly cheering on their favorite cyclists. Amidst the excitement, one can spot a few mishaps as some riders take unexpected tumbles from their bicycles. This adds an element of suspense and humor to the image, reminding us that even in this early form of cycling, accidents were not uncommon. The Jardin du Luxembourg serves as a picturesque backdrop for this thrilling event. Lush trees provide shade while creating a sense of tranquility amidst all the action. Onlookers can be seen strolling through the park, taking advantage of this leisurely pastime to enjoy nature's beauty. This engraving by Jules Antoine Duvaux beautifully captures both the fashion and spirit of its time. It showcases how cycling was not only becoming a popular sport but also an opportunity for individuals to showcase their style and elegance. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into 19th-century Parisian society's fascination with velocipedes and highlights how it became more than just a hobby – it became part of their cultural identity and social life.
