EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases a truly unique invention - a one-wheeled cycle. The print, part of a private collection, takes us back in time to an era when bicycles were still evolving. The image depicts a large, single wheel with pedals attached to it, making for an odd yet intriguing contraption. A dog stands nearby, seemingly curious about this unusual mode of transportation. The scene is set against the backdrop of historical California, specifically San Francisco. The engraving was originally created as an illustration for The Picture Magazine in 1893. It captures the spirit of adventure and innovation that characterized cycling during that period. Bicycling was gaining popularity as both a sport and means of transportation. One can only imagine the skill required to balance on such a precarious machine! Perhaps this one-wheeled cycle was designed more for entertainment than practicality. Regardless, it serves as a fascinating reminder of how far bicycle technology has come since then. This print by Bridgeman Images offers us a glimpse into history while also sparking our imagination about what other peculiar inventions may have existed during that time. Whether you're interested in cycling or simply appreciate historical oddities, this artwork is sure to captivate your attention.
