EDITORS COMMENTS
The Graphic, Front Cover Saturday, September 19, 1891: A Glimpse into the Past with Robert Barnes' Water Bicycles on Central Park, New York Step back in time with this image from The Graphic, an illustrated weekly newspaper published in London, featuring Robert Barnes' water bicycles on Central Park, New York. Dated September 19, 1891, this front cover illustration showcases the innovative spirit of the late 19th century as people embrace new forms of leisure and transportation. The scene unfolds on the serene waters of Central Park Lake, where boys and men, dressed in their Sunday best, enjoy a day out on the water. The water bicycles, a popular novelty at the time, offer a unique blend of physical activity and relaxation. The boys in the foreground eagerly pedal their water bicycles, while the men in the background lounge under the shade of a canopy, watching the scene unfold. Robert Barnes, the talented illustrator behind this masterpiece, expertly captures the essence of the moment. His skillful use of contrast and detail brings the image to life, transporting us back to a time when innovation and leisure intertwined in the heart of New York City. This print, taken from The Graphic, Volume 44, July to December, 1891, is a testament to the enduring allure of history and the power of art to capture and preserve moments in time.
