EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A 19th Century Female Cyclist" takes us back to a time when cycling was not only a sport but also a symbol of liberation for women. Published in The Strand Magazine in 1897, this illustration beautifully captures the essence of a typical female cyclist from the nineteenth century. In an era where societal norms restricted women's activities and fashion choices, cycling emerged as an empowering hobby that challenged these conventions. This image showcases a woman confidently riding her bicycle, defying gender expectations with every pedal stroke. Her attire reflects the typical dress code for female cyclists during that period - a long skirt paired with a tailored jacket and hat, ensuring modesty while allowing freedom of movement. Transportation-wise, bicycles became more than just means of getting from one place to another; they represented independence and mobility for women who were previously confined to carriages or walking. The bicycle opened up new opportunities for exploration and adventure, enabling women to experience their surroundings in ways they had never imagined before. Ken Welsh's skillful reproduction brings this historical moment vividly to life once again. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, let us celebrate the courage and determination exhibited by these trailblazing women who fearlessly embraced cycling as both a sport and mode of transportation in the nineteenth century.
