EDITORS COMMENTS
The Fashion of the Hour, Lady Cyclists in Battersea Park (litho) captures a vibrant snapshot of 19th-century London's cycling culture. This lithograph, created by an anonymous English School artist, showcases the evolving fashion trends and growing popularity of women cyclists during this era. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Battersea Park, we witness a group of stylish lady cyclists confidently pedaling through the park's pathways. Their elegant attire reflects both functionality and elegance, as they effortlessly navigate their bicycles with grace and poise. The image beautifully illustrates how these pioneering women embraced cycling not only as a sport but also as a means to challenge societal norms and assert their independence. Published in The Graphic on 20 July 1895, this engraving offers us a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian sporting activities. It serves as a testament to the progressive spirit that prevailed among women at that time who dared to break free from traditional gender roles. This remarkable print is part of Bridgeman Images' Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, providing art enthusiasts with access to historical visual treasures like this one. As we admire this artwork today, let us celebrate these trailblazing lady cyclists who paved the way for future generations while leaving an indelible mark on both fashion and sports history.
