This engraving captures a fascinating moment in the history of bicycle design, showcasing a selection of bicycles on display at the Stanley Show of 1888. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the innovative and diverse bicycles that graced the exhibition. At the center of the image, the Coventry Machinists Company's Coolie Cycle Cab takes pride of place. This unique bicycle was built specifically for the Sultan of Morocco, showcasing the global reach and appeal of cycling at the time. The Coolie Cycle Cab, an import from Coventry, England, was designed to accommodate multiple passengers, making it an ideal mode of transportation for the Sultan's entourage. At the bottom left corner of the image, the Singer Victoria Tandem, made for the War Office, is displayed. This tandem bicycle, also from Coventry, was a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The War Office's acquisition of the Victoria Tandem underscores the growing importance of bicycles as a reliable and efficient means of transportation, both for civilian and military purposes. The Stanley Show of 1888 was a significant event in the history of cycling, attracting a large number of exhibitors and visitors. This engraving offers a valuable insight into the diverse range of bicycles that were on display, from the Coolie Cycle Cab to the Singer Victoria Tandem, and many more. The image is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the bicycle manufacturers of the late 19th century, and their ability to cater to the varying needs and preferences of the cycling public.
