EDITORS COMMENTS
This sheet music cover from 1896 takes us back to the vibrant era of cycling in New York City. The artwork, created by E. T. Paul, depicts a bustling scene along the Coney Island broadwalk, where men and women joyfully pedal their bicycles. As we delve into this historical illustration, four charming insets showcase popular attractions at Coney Island. The sides and bottom of the print are adorned with cyclists and the names of prominent bicycle manufacturers from that time period. This serves as a testament to the growing popularity of cycling as both a means of transportation and a leisure activity during the late 19th century. Transported through time, we witness how bicycles were not only practical but also brought people together for shared experiences and enjoyment. In this snapshot of history, individuals young and old find solace in riding their bikes while exploring one of America's most iconic tourist destinations. Preserved by the New York Public Library's collection, this front cover sheet music offers us an invaluable glimpse into our past—a reminder that human fascination with two-wheeled transport has deep roots in American culture. Let it inspire us to appreciate both our rich history and the simple pleasures found in hobbies like cycling today.
