"Pedaling through Time: A Captivating Journey with the Bicycle" Step back in time and embark on a fascinating journey through the evolution of the bicycle. From its humble beginnings to becoming an iconic mode of transportation, these captivating prints and photographs offer glimpses into different eras. The "Star Bicycle, 1882" print showcases one of the earliest models, highlighting the ingenuity that sparked a revolution in personal mobility. Meanwhile, "Velocipede Song and Galop, 1869" takes us even further back, reminding us of how music played a role in celebrating this new invention. Fast forward to 1896 with "New York and Coney Island Cycle March, " capturing the excitement surrounding cycling as it gained popularity among both young and old. The thrill continues with "The Scorcher, 1897, " illustrating the need for speed that emerged within cycling culture. Community spirit shines through in "Winthrop Cycle Club, 1897, " showcasing camaraderie among enthusiasts who formed clubs dedicated to their shared passion. Celebrating milestones is beautifully depicted in the vibrant "Card celebrating the turn of 1900, " reminding us how bicycles became intertwined with significant moments in history. Breaking gender barriers is highlighted by lithographs such as "Bicycling - The Ladies of the Wheel in 1896, 1898. " These images depict women embracing newfound freedom and independence through cycling during an era when societal norms were being challenged. Love finds its way onto two wheels too. Witness a whimsical union unfold before your eyes with "A Bicycle Wedding, 1909. " This color lithograph captures a joyous celebration where love blossoms amidst spokes and pedals. Photography's power to capture fleeting moments comes alive at the First International Photography Exhibition held in Paris (1892). The poster invites you to explore early photographic techniques while appreciating bicycles' presence throughout history. Innovation takes center stage when we encounter groundbreaking inventions like the "First bicycle with inflatable tires.
