EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage illustration takes us back to the early 19th century, offering a whimsical glimpse into the history of cycling. The caricature, created by the renowned artist George Cruikshank, portrays a lively scene titled "Every man on his perch; or, going to hobby fair". As we delve into this print from Fine Art Storehouse, we are transported to an era where bicycles were still in their infancy. The image showcases a group of eccentric cyclists pedaling with great enthusiasm on their peculiar contraptions. Each rider sits atop what can only be described as an unconventional perch - a testament to the inventiveness and experimentation that characterized these early days of cycling. With exaggerated features and comical expressions adorning their faces, it is clear that Cruikshank intended for this piece to entertain and amuse. As we observe this artwork closely, we cannot help but appreciate how it captures both the excitement and novelty surrounding bicycles during this period. It serves as a reminder of how far cycling has come since its humble beginnings. This print allows us to reflect upon our modern-day appreciation for this beloved mode of transportation while also celebrating the rich heritage that paved its way. In essence, Duncan1890's reproduction of George Cruikshank's caricature offers not only aesthetic pleasure but also invites us on a delightful journey through time – reminding us that even in centuries past, people found joy in embracing new forms of mobility.
