The Old Order Changeth
EDITORS COMMENTS
litho by William Henry Charles Groome captures a whimsical scene that challenges traditional notions of military hierarchy. This humorous print, dating back to 1892, depicts a group of Chelsea Pensioners on bicycles, defying the norms of their time. In this delightful engraving, we see the pensioners confidently pedaling away on their bikes with great enthusiasm. Their once rigid and disciplined demeanor is replaced by an air of liberation and joy as they embrace the new mode of transportation. The image showcases not only their adventurous spirit but also their willingness to adapt to changing times. The inclusion of both male and female cyclists adds another layer of charm to the composition. It highlights how cycling was becoming increasingly popular among men and women alike during this period. The sportswoman in particular stands out, challenging gender stereotypes as she fearlessly joins her male counterparts in this unconventional activity. Groome's attention to detail brings life to each character, capturing their expressions and gestures with precision. Through his skillful artistry, he invites us into a world where tradition meets progress and humor intertwines with history. This print serves as a reminder that even within established institutions like the military, change is inevitable. "The Old Order Changeth" encourages us all to embrace new ideas and find joy in breaking free from societal expectations - just like these spirited Chelsea Pensioners on their bicycles.
