EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a momentous occasion in history - The Prince of Wales at Eastbourne, the Cycle Club Arch. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases the royal figure amidst a sea of bicycles and cycling enthusiasts. The image transports us back to a time when cycling was gaining popularity as a sport and mode of transportation. The Cycle Club Arch stands tall behind the Prince, adorned with flags and emblems that symbolize unity among cyclists. It serves as a testament to the growing community of riders who shared their passion for this exhilarating activity. Intriguingly, amongst the crowd of male cyclists, we spot a female cyclist bravely participating in this male-dominated sport. Her presence highlights both her determination and the progressive nature of women's involvement in sports during that era. The Prince himself exudes regality as he confidently poses for the camera. His Royal Highness is captured mid-conversation with fellow riders, showcasing his genuine interest in connecting with people from all walks of life. This remarkable photograph not only immortalizes an important event but also encapsulates an era where cycling became more than just a pastime; it became an emblematic representation of camaraderie, athleticism, and societal progress.
