EDITORS COMMENTS
Bicycling, the Ladies of the Wheel in 1896,1898 (litho) captures a delightful moment in history when fashionable women embraced the freedom and thrill of cycling. This handcoloured lithograph by R. V. , based on an illustration by Francois Courboin, showcases a group of stylish ladies enjoying their bicycles in a Parisian park. The image transports us back to the late 19th century, where these forward-thinking women challenge societal norms with their choice of recreation. Dressed elegantly in blouses with wide sleeves and long skirts, they effortlessly balance grace and athleticism as they pedal through the garden area. Paris serves as a picturesque backdrop for this scene, adding to its charm and sophistication. The city's landmarks subtly peek through the foliage, reminding us that even amidst urban life, there is space for leisurely pursuits. This print not only celebrates fashion but also symbolizes female empowerment during a time when women were breaking barriers. By embracing this new mode of transportation and participating in outdoor activities traditionally reserved for men, these ladies assert their independence and redefine societal expectations. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece from Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris series. It allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill behind lithography and the historical significance it represents - an era where bicycles became symbols of liberation for women across Europe.
