EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1890, where a thrilling cycle-race unfolds at a stadium in New York. A remarkable aspect of this race is the absence of pneumatic tires, as they had not yet made their way into use in the United States. This unique detail adds an element of challenge and excitement to the event. Another intriguing feature lies in the type of bicycles used by these daring racers. Surprisingly, they are riding penny farthing cycles that had already been surpassed by more advanced models in England. It's fascinating to witness this snapshot from history when technology was rapidly evolving, even across continents. The image captures a square format with a male cyclist dominating the scene on his penny farthing bicycle. The contrast between light and dark tones enhances its timeless appeal while evoking nostalgia for a bygone era. As we delve into this mesmerizing photograph captured by George Barker, we can't help but be transported back in time to witness this extraordinary sporting moment unfold before our eyes. It serves as a reminder of how innovation shapes our lives and how sports have always pushed boundaries throughout history.
