EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this advertisement from the Surrey Machinist Co, showcasing their latest innovation, the Penny-Farthing bicycle. Dated back to 1883, this advertisement was a testament to the advancements in transportation during the late Victorian era. The Surrey Machinist Co, located on Blackman Street in London, took pride in manufacturing high-quality bicycles that were both stylish and functional. The Penny-Farthing, also known as the High Wheel bicycle, was a popular mode of transport during the 1880s in England and Wales. Its distinctive design, with a large front wheel and a smaller rear wheel, offered a smoother ride on the uneven roads of the time. The Penny-Farthing's unique design allowed riders to achieve greater speeds and cover longer distances than other bicycles of the era. This advertisement invites potential customers to experience the thrill of riding a Surrey Machinist Co Penny-Farthing, boasting its durability and reliability. The Cortis Invincible model, in particular, was a favorite among riders due to its robust frame and superior craftsmanship. The advertisement's bold typography and vibrant colors effectively convey the excitement and allure of this new mode of transportation. As you gaze at this advertisement, imagine the streets of London bustling with Penny-Farthing riders, their wheels turning in unison, creating a symphony of progress and innovation. This piece of history takes us back to a time when transportation was an adventure, and the Penny-Farthing was the epitome of modernity.
