EDITORS COMMENTS
This advertisement print from the 1880s showcases the Challis Bros' offering of bicycle bells from their Homerton, London establishment. The image transports us back in time, as we see a tricycle adorned with a round, elegant bell, its strap and buckle fastened to the handlebars. The advertisement, with its ornate typography, boasts of the bells being "manufactured in England and Wales" and available in various designs, ensuring riders could make their presence known in style. The late Victorian era, a time of innovation and progress, saw a surge in the popularity of bicycles as a mode of transportation. The addition of accessories like bells became essential, as roads were becoming increasingly congested with cyclists, horse-drawn carriages, and pedestrians. This advertisement from Challis Bros, a reputable company during that time, highlights their commitment to providing high-quality bicycle accessories, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable riding experience. The print's intricate details, from the delicate illustrations to the meticulously crafted text, showcase the artistry and attention to detail that went into creating advertisements during this era. The Challis Bros advertisement for bicycle bells is a testament to the rich history of transportation accessories and the role they played in shaping the cycling culture of the late 1800s.
