EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the celerifer or draisienne, a groundbreaking means of transport invented by Baron Carl Drais von Sauerbronn in 1816. The image is taken from "The Locomotion Through the Ages" by Octave Uzanne, published in Paris in 1900 and beautifully illustrated by Eugene Courbouin. In this chromolithograph, we are transported back to a time when this revolutionary contraption first graced the streets. The celerifer, also known as a draisienne or hobby horse, was an early form of bicycle that played a pivotal role in the evolution of modern transportation. It consisted of two wheels connected by a simple frame with no pedals; riders would use their feet to push themselves forward. The illustration captures the essence of this era perfectly. A bustling crowd surrounds a cyclist on her draisienne as she confidently navigates through the streets. We can almost feel the excitement and curiosity radiating from those watching her innovative mode of transport. Eugene Courbouin's attention to detail brings every element to life - from the intricate design of the celerifer itself to each individual's unique attire. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation but also transports us into history, allowing us to witness firsthand how society embraced new forms of locomotion. Leonard de Selva has preserved this remarkable piece for our enjoyment today while reminding us that innovation and progress have always been at the heart of human civilization.
