EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Johnson and Pedestrian Hobbyhorse" captures a significant moment in the history of locomotion. In this intriguing image, we witness Johnson, the renowned constructor of pedestrian hobbyhorses in London, taking his first ride on the innovative invention known as the Pedestrian Hobbyhorse. Engraved by Maurice Rousseau on 1 May 1819, this artwork is featured in Charles Dollfus' comprehensive book "Histoire de la Locomotion terrestre". The book explores various forms of terrestrial transportation throughout history, including natural locomotion, horse-drawn carriages, cycling, mechanical locomotion, and automobiles. Transporting us back to the early 19th century, this photograph showcases an era when bicycles were still evolving. The Pedestrian Hobbyhorse was one such precursor to modern-day bicycles and played a crucial role in shaping their development. Its design resembled that of a dandy horse or running machine – a two-wheeled vehicle propelled by pushing off with one's feet from the ground. Originating from Germany but gaining popularity across Europe and eventually reaching Britain, these early bicycles revolutionized personal transportation. Johnson's expertise as a constructor contributed significantly to their advancement. This historic image not only highlights technological progress but also reflects societal changes during that time. It symbolizes mankind's relentless pursuit of innovation and our ceaseless desire for more efficient means of travel. As we admire this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate how far we have come since those humble beginnings. Today's sleek bikes owe much gratitude to pioneers like Johnson who paved the way for our modern modes of transportation.
