EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late Victorian era in England, specifically the 1880s. It showcases an advertisement for bicycles and tricycles by James Lillywhite, Frowd and Co, prominent outfitters of that time specializing in cricket and athletic gear as well. The image captures a snapshot of bustling city life on Newington Causeway, Borough Road in London. The scene is filled with excitement as people go about their daily routines against the backdrop of this eye-catching advertisement. Bicycles and tricycles were becoming increasingly popular modes of transport during this period, revolutionizing travel for both leisurely rides through picturesque landscapes or practical commuting within busy cities like London. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past when penny farthing bicycles ruled the roads. These iconic high-wheelers were a symbol of status and adventure for those daring enough to ride them. As we observe this historic moment frozen in time, it's fascinating to imagine how these two-wheeled wonders transformed urban mobility. Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully preserved this piece of history through their prints online collection. This particular print serves as a testament to the ever-evolving nature of transportation while also highlighting the significance of advertising during that era. It reminds us how even then, businesses recognized the power of effective marketing strategies to capture public attention amidst a rapidly changing world.
