The Beginnings of War Machines - Tracing the Evolution of Military Bicycles
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to explore the origins and evolution of military bicycles, which served as forerunners to their modern counterparts. The lithograph, created by an English School artist in the 20th century, showcases a continuous progression of these war machines. From the early dandy horse or hobby horse invented in 1818 to Baron Drais' boneshaker bicycle in 1819, we witness how cycling technology gradually advanced. The image also features significant milestones such as Lallement's machine from 1865 and Dennis Johnson's innovative design from 1886. As we delve deeper into history, we encounter various military cycles used during World War I (WWI). French and Austrian cyclists are depicted maneuvering through war zones on their trusty bikes. These two-wheeled vehicles proved invaluable for skirmishing and reconnaissance purposes during this great conflict. The engraving not only highlights the technological progress but also celebrates cycling as a sport. It captures both male and female sports enthusiasts enjoying bike rides while showcasing their sporting prowess. Overall, this remarkable artwork serves as a visual testament to human ingenuity and adaptability during times of warfare. It reminds us that even seemingly ordinary objects like bicycles can play crucial roles in shaping history.
