EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an advertisement for Humber Cycles, dating back to 1902-1903. The artwork was created by the talented Thomas Humber and featured in Penroses Pictorial Annual 1902-1903, a renowned illustrated review of the graphic arts edited by William Gamble and published by AW Penrose in London. The image transports us to the early 20th century, where we see a stylish Edwardian woman confidently riding her bicycle along a picturesque road. Dressed impeccably in fashionable attire complete with a hat, she epitomizes elegance and grace as she effortlessly glides through the street. The photograph not only highlights the beauty of cycling but also serves as a testament to women's liberation during this era. It captures the spirit of independence and freedom that bicycles offered women at that time, allowing them to explore their surroundings with newfound mobility. Thomas Humber's artistic talent shines through his attention to detail, capturing every aspect of this momentous scene. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and nostalgia to the image while emphasizing its timeless appeal. This remarkable print is not just about advertising; it represents an important cultural shift towards gender equality and personal empowerment. It reminds us of how far society has come since then while honoring those who paved the way for progress on two wheels.
