EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Woman on Bicycle" from the 1910s, captures the essence of innovation and progress during the early 20th century in America. The image, of an unidentified woman gracefully riding a bicycle, embodies the spirit of freedom and independence that came with the advent of this new mode of transportation. The photograph, likely taken between 1917 and 1918, is a glass negative from the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. Harris Ewing was a renowned American photographer, known for his work documenting the social and political landscape of the United States during this era. Although the creator of this specific image remains unknown, it is a testament to the prolific output of the Harris Ewing Photographic Studio. The woman in the photograph wears a long, flowing skirt and a simple blouse, her hair pulled back in a bun. She rides a bicycle with an unusual feature - a small engine attached to the back wheel, suggesting that this may be an early example of a motorbicycle or motorized bicycle. The addition of the engine allowed riders to cover greater distances and navigate hilly terrain more easily, making cycling even more popular and accessible to a wider audience. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the evolution of transportation technology and the empowering impact it had on women's lives. The image is a valuable addition to any collection focused on American history, social history, or the history of technology.
