EDITORS COMMENTS

The focal point of this print is the advertisement for St Jacobs Oil, a popular remedy during that era. The scene depicts Farringdon Road, filled with cyclists gracefully pedaling along its path. Among them are both men and women, showcasing the growing popularity of cycling as a sport and leisure activity in Victorian England. The image captures the essence of athleticism and freedom associated with biking. St Jacobs Oil was promoted as an effective solution for various ailments, making it an essential product for active individuals like these cyclists. The Charles A Vogeler Company played a significant role in advertising this miracle oil to the masses. As we delve into this historical snapshot, we can't help but admire the intricate details captured by the English School artist who created this engraving.
