EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1898 showcases a charming American magazine advertisement for Browns shoe dressing. The image captures the essence of late Victorian America, with its focus on communication, recreation, and transportation. In the foreground, we see a young couple engaged in courtship while indulging in their shared love for bicycling. The man, dressed sharply in his suit and bowler hat, is seen adjusting his shoes with Browns shoe dressing before embarking on their cycling adventure. His attention to detail reflects both his dedication to maintaining proper footwear and impressing his girl companion. The woman exudes grace as she sits side-saddle on her bicycle wearing an elegant dress that perfectly complements her stylish hat adorned with feathers. Her choice of attire demonstrates how even during recreational activities like biking, fashion played a significant role in daily life. This advertisement not only promotes Browns shoe dressing but also highlights the growing popularity of bicycling as a sport among men and women alike during the 1890s. It encapsulates an era where people sought leisurely pursuits that combined physical activity with social interaction. Preserved by The Granger Collection's meticulous curation of historical artifacts, this print offers us a glimpse into early advertising techniques while providing insight into the cultural nuances surrounding transportation choices and personal grooming habits at the turn of the century.
