EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable piece of history - a Velocipede for a lady designed in 1847, complete with pedals. The image, taken by an anonymous French photographer in the 19th century, is now housed at the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France. The intricately designed bicycle features elegant handlebars, sturdy spokes, and two large wheels that speak to its early origins. A comfortable saddle invites the rider to take part in this exciting pastime of cycling. With its innovative addition of pedals, this velocipede represents an important step towards modern-day bicycles. In this snapshot frozen in time, we catch a glimpse of the sportswoman or sportsman who once rode this pioneering machine. Their determination and love for cycling are palpable as they navigate through streets or countryside on their trusty velocipede. Photography allows us to travel back centuries and appreciate how far we have come since then. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our constant pursuit of progress. It reminds us that even seemingly small inventions can have profound impacts on society. As we admire this image from Bridgeman Images' collection without any commercial intent, let it inspire us to embrace new ideas and push boundaries just like those who first pedaled their way into history aboard these early bicycles.
