EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two designs for Le Celerifere, an early bicycle that is believed to have been invented by le Comte de Sivrac around 1791. However, there is a twist to this historical tale as it is speculated that the Comte himself may have been a creation of journalist Louis Baudry de Saunier in his Histoire de la Velocipedie published in 1891. The image captures the essence of these peculiar contraptions from a side view, revealing their unique and unconventional features. The bicycles stand as curious objects with their intricate design and intriguing combination of elements such as wheels, lions, horses, and other inventive details. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the birth of an invention that would revolutionize transportation and pave the way for modern-day bicycles. It serves as a reminder of human ingenuity and our constant quest for progress. Preserved by the Hulton Archive/Getty Images collection, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into history's enigmatic creations. Whether or not le Comte de Sivrac truly existed remains uncertain; nevertheless, his alleged invention continues to captivate our imagination even centuries later
