EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "No Immodesty in this (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the historical context of female modesty and societal norms. The image showcases an engraving by an English School artist, now held in a private collection. Intriguingly, this artwork was originally created as an illustration for The Picture Magazine in 1895. It beautifully captures the essence of women's shamelessness during that era. As we delve into its details, we witness a group of women confidently engaging in one of their newfound passions - bicycling. The composition exudes elegance and grace as these ladies pedal through history with poise and determination. Their attire reflects the prevailing customs of modesty at the time, showcasing long skirts paired with high-necked blouses. This visual representation challenges any notion of immodesty associated with cycling or any other form of physical activity pursued by women. "No Immodesty in this (engraving)" serves as a powerful reminder that throughout history, women have defied societal expectations while pursuing their interests and breaking barriers. Through this timeless piece captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are transported to an era where resilience triumphed over restrictive conventions. It is through such artistic treasures that we gain insight into our past and celebrate the courage displayed by those who paved the way for gender equality today.
