EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Lady on Tricycle, 1888" takes us back to a bygone era of elegance and adventure. Captured by an English photographer in the late 19th century, this image showcases a remarkable woman embracing the freedom and joy of cycling. In this timeless portrait, we see a lady confidently perched atop her tricycle, exuding grace and poise. Her attire reflects the fashion trends of the time - a long dress with intricate lace details paired with gloves and a hat adorned with feathers. The tricycle itself is an exquisite piece of machinery, showcasing the technological advancements of its era. Beyond being merely a mode of transportation, cycling was also seen as an empowering form of exercise for women during this period. This photograph beautifully captures that spirit as it portrays not only physical activity but also independence and liberation. The meticulous reproduction process from the 1930s has allowed us to appreciate every detail in this gravure printed print. It serves as both a historical artifact and an artistic masterpiece that transports us back to Victorian England. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image today, we are reminded of how far society has come while cherishing our shared heritage. It serves as a tribute to all those trailblazing women who defied societal norms and paved their own path towards equality through sports such as cycling.
