EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Boy on penny farthing bicycle" takes us back to the 19th century countryside. The image showcases a young boy, presumably on holiday, riding an impressive penny farthing bicycle. With its oversized front wheel and tiny rear wheel, this vintage contraption was a symbol of adventure and freedom during its time. The exhausted expression on the boy's face hints at his long journey through the picturesque countryside. Lost in thought, he navigates through winding roads surrounded by lush green fields and majestic horses grazing peacefully nearby. It is as if time stands still in this historical moment frozen in print. This artwork originally appeared as an illustration for The Boys Own Paper in 1885 but has been digitally cleaned to preserve its beauty for generations to come. The fine details captured by the artist bring life to every stroke of the engraving. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when bicycles were not just means of transportation but also symbols of youthful exploration and endless possibilities. This print serves as a reminder that history holds timeless treasures waiting to be discovered anew with each passing generation.
