EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Notes at the Cyclists Camp, Alexandra Park" takes us back to 19th century London, where a lively crowd of cycling enthusiasts gather in Alexandra Park. The scene is filled with an array of bicycles - two wheelers, three wheelers, and even four wheelers - showcasing the diverse range of cycling options available during that time. The print captures the spirit of camaraderie and excitement among the cyclists as they engage in various activities. A tandem race is underway, with riders pedaling furiously side by side. Young boys can be seen taking notes on their surroundings, perhaps documenting this thrilling event for future reference. Amidst the bustling crowd are caricature-like figures that add a touch of whimsy to the scene. A female cyclist stands out amongst her male counterparts, highlighting gender inclusivity in this early sporting event. The artist skillfully depicts the energy and dynamism of this momentous occasion through intricate details such as facial expressions and body language. The composition draws our attention towards a central prow-shaped structure where cyclists converge before embarking on their rides. This historical engraving not only celebrates the joy of cycling but also serves as a testament to its growing popularity as a sport during that era. It reminds us how sports have always brought people together across generations and continue to do so today.
