EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a historic moment in cycling history - the breaking of the twenty-four hours cycling record at Herne Hill. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases the sheer determination and athleticism of these early sportsmen and sportswomen. The image depicts a group of cyclists lined up at the start line, ready to embark on their grueling challenge. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as they prepare to push their bodies to new limits. Amongst them stands F. W. Shorland, who would eventually emerge as the victorious winner. The scene exudes a sense of camaraderie and competitive spirit that was characteristic of sporting events during this era. It serves as a testament to human endurance and highlights how individuals were willing to push themselves beyond what was previously thought possible. This photograph not only captures a significant sporting achievement but also provides us with a glimpse into London's rich sporting heritage. It reminds us that even in our modern age, where technology has transformed sports, there is something timeless about pushing oneself physically and mentally for personal triumph. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from over a century ago, we are reminded of the power of human willpower and dedication – qualities that continue to inspire athletes today.
