EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this advertisement for Coventry Cross Cycles from 1897. The image, depicting a lively scene on Oxford Street in London and Deansgate in Manchester, showcases the excitement and appeal of cycling during the late Victorian era. In the heart of the bustling city, a woman in a fashionable hat and dress, accompanied by a curious girl in a frilly frock, admire the sleek Coventry Cross Cycles displayed in the shop window. A young boy, with a mischievous grin, playfully holds the reins of a dog that barks at the passing bicycles. Across the way, a man in a suit and top hat assists a girl in mounting her new Coventry Cross bicycle, while another man and a boy look on with admiration. The Coventry Cross Cycles, with their elegant designs and innovative features, were a popular choice for both men and women during this period. The advertisement effectively conveys the sense of freedom, adventure, and social connection that cycling offered, making it an attractive pastime for people of all ages. This charming advertisement, captured by an unidentified photographer, is a testament to the enduring appeal of cycling and the joy it brings to people. It also provides a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural landscape of late 19th-century Britain, offering a unique perspective on the daily lives and experiences of people during this time.
