The Cycling Camp at the Alexandra Park - A Glimpse into Victorian Sporting Culture
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by Horace Morehen in 1884, offers a fascinating snapshot of the bustling atmosphere at the Cycling Camp in Alexandra Park. The image showcases an array of vivid scenes and characters that bring to life the vibrant world of cycling during this era. Intriguingly, we are transported to a campsite where cyclists from all walks of life gather for rest and recreation. From distinguished authors and novelists to rising members of society, everyone seems captivated by the allure of this exhilarating sport. The presence of female cyclists also challenges traditional gender roles, highlighting their determination and passion for biking. The engraving depicts various aspects that make up daily life at the camp. We catch glimpses of individuals enjoying home comforts amidst nature's beauty - relaxing in their tents or engaging in conversations with fellow enthusiasts. A central figure stands out as they attend to official matters within a makeshift office while others seek solace in reading or writing literature on their bicycles. The author skillfully captures not only the physicality but also the camaraderie shared among these sportsmen and women. It is evident that cycling was more than just a recreational activity; it fostered connections between like-minded individuals who found joy in exploring new horizons together. As we delve into this enchanting print from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are reminded of how sports can transcend time and provide us with insights into historical cultures
