EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts an exciting moment in the history of American cycling, as the Mid May 1884 American League Cycle Races unfolded on the picturesque Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. The 19th century scene is filled with the vibrant energy of the era, as men and women enthusiastically engage in the burgeoning sport of cycling. In the foreground, a group of cyclists, dressed in contemporary attire, are poised at the starting line of the race. Their bicycles, a mix of high-wheel velocipedes and ordinary bikes, are meticulously arranged, ready for the contest to begin. Spectators, both men and women, are gathered around the racecourse, some leaning in for a closer look, while others are seen cheering and waving handkerchiefs in support of their favorite riders. A lone cornet player stands at the ready, signaling the imminent start of the race. The anticipation in the air is palpable, as the cyclists prepare to pedal their way through the historic streets of the nation's capital. The scene is a testament to the growing popularity of cycling as a sport and a means of transportation in the United States during the late 19th century. This engraving, a fascinating glimpse into the past, offers a unique perspective on the ancient art of cycling and the excitement it generated during its early days in America.
