EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the vibrant atmosphere of the National Cycle Show at the iconic Crystal Palace in 19th century England. The image showcases an array of fascinating novelties that were on display during this grand event. Intriguingly, among these novelties is the premier helical safety bicycle, a revolutionary invention that aimed to enhance rider safety and comfort. Another standout innovation is the automatic expanding crank, which promised effortless pedaling for cyclists. The canopy bicycle with its elegant design and practicality also catches the eye. The engraving further highlights other remarkable creations such as the concentric spring wheel, known for its smooth ride, and a diamond one pedal bearing system that offered improved efficiency. A bamboo tricycle adds an exotic touch to this gathering of cutting-edge cycling technology. One cannot miss noticing a steam bicycle in this collection of marvels, showcasing early experiments with alternative power sources for bicycles. Additionally, there is mention of HRH Princess Maud of Wales attending this prestigious show, adding a touch of royal glamour to the occasion. This historic print not only provides us with a glimpse into Victorian-era innovations but also reminds us how far we have come in terms of technological advancements in cycling. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our constant pursuit towards progress and improvement.
