Dodge, a dedicated and skilled cycle maker, proudly displaying his wares outside his shop on Melville Street in Sandown, Isle of Wight. The image, published in Hampshire and Isle of Wight Illustrated in 1905, captures the essence of the era, with the meticulously crafted bicycles arranged in a visually appealing manner, reflecting E.J. Dodge's passion for his trade. The shop front is adorned with an elegant sign bearing the name 'E.J. Dodge, Cycle Maker', which adds to the inviting atmosphere. The presence of the Union Jack flag, flying proudly above the shop, signifies the patriotic spirit of the time. The bicycles, with their intricate designs and attention to detail, are a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of E.J. Dodge and his team. The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of a local business owner and his commitment to providing high-quality bicycles to the residents of Sandown. The image also serves as a reminder of the importance of small, independent businesses in shaping the character and identity of a community. E.J. Dodge's shop on Melville Street stands as a symbol of innovation, entrepreneurship, and the enduring appeal of the bicycle as a mode of transportation and a source of joy and freedom. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document that tells the story of a bygone era.
