EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the bustling world of Coventry Machinists Company's Works. The image showcases a building shop filled with workers diligently crafting bicycles, symbolizing the birth of an industry that would revolutionize transportation. The scene is alive with activity as men and women work side by side, each playing their part in this manufacturing marvel. The intricate machinery and tools scattered throughout the workshop highlight the precision required to create these two-wheeled wonders. Amidst the sea of workers, we catch sight of a female cyclist confidently straddling her bike. Her presence challenges traditional gender roles, showcasing how cycling was not only a male-dominated sport but also an avenue for women's empowerment. The illustration originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on August 15th, 1896. It serves as both a historical record and testament to the innovation happening within Coventry Machinists Company's Works at that time. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the birthplace of bicycles - Warwickshire's very own Coventry. This image reminds us of how far we have come since those early days when cycling was just beginning to capture hearts around the world.
