The Cyclists' Sunday Dinner at Ripley;
EDITORS COMMENTS
The Anchor" at Ripley--The Cyclists Inn," 1891, is a captivating photograph by Charles Joseph Staniland that offers a glimpse into the pastime and camaraderie of Victorian-era cycling clubs. The image, published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," Volume 44, July to December, 1891, depicts a group of cyclists gathered at "The Anchor" public house in Ripley, Surrey, England. The cyclists, all men, are dressed in their Sunday best, with some wearing bowler hats and others donning ties. They sit at long tables, some engaged in animated conversation, while others help themselves to the hearty meal before them. In the background, more cyclists can be seen arriving, their bicycles lined up outside the tavern. The exterior of "The Anchor" serves as the perfect backdrop to this scene, with its ornate sign and red-tiled roof. The building's warm, inviting appearance contrasts with the cool, crisp air of the English countryside. The image captures the essence of a day out or weekend trip for these cycling enthusiasts, who came together to enjoy each other's company, good food, and the simple pleasure of the open road. Charles Joseph Staniland's photograph is a testament to the popularity of cycling clubs during the late 19th century and the sense of community they fostered. It also showcases the importance of the press in documenting and sharing these moments with a wider audience. Today, this photograph remains a fascinating window into a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the lives and pastimes of Victorian-era cyclists.
