EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Card 11 of the Girl Cyclists series by Artokoloro. Dating back to 1887, this albumen photograph measures approximately 2 3/4 x 1 3/8 inches (7.35 cm) and is part of a set of trade cards issued by Allen & Ginter to promote Virginia Brights cigarettes. The image itself features a group of young women cyclists, exuding an air of elegance and independence as they pose with their bicycles. Dressed in stylish Victorian attire, these trailblazing ladies challenge societal norms by engaging in a traditionally male-dominated activity. The sepia-toned hues add a nostalgic touch to the photograph, transporting us back to an era when cycling was gaining popularity among women seeking freedom and adventure. The composition skillfully captures the gracefulness and determination of these pioneering female cyclists. Artokoloro's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print – from the intricate patterns on their dresses to the delicate spokes on their bicycles. This card serves not only as an advertisement for Virginia Brights cigarettes but also as a testament to the spirit and resilience of women throughout history. As we admire this piece, let us reflect upon how far society has come since that time while acknowledging those who paved the way for gender equality through acts as simple yet significant as riding a bicycle.
