EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting early 20th century photograph captures the spirit of two intrepid ladies, dressed in their Edwardian finery, preparing for a leisurely cycle ride through the picturesque lanes of rural Somerset. The idyllic scene unfolds before us as the women adjust their bloomers and corsets beneath their long, flowing skirts, ensuring they are comfortable for the journey ahead. Their bicycles, with their high handlebars and large, padded saddles, stand ready, symbolizing the newfound freedom and independence that cycling offered women during this era. The lush, green landscape of Somerset provides a stunning backdrop to this charming moment in time. The rolling hills, dotted with quaint stone cottages and ancient trees, evoke a sense of peace and tranquility. The ladies' expressions are filled with excitement and anticipation, as they eagerly look forward to exploring the scenic beauty of the countryside on their trusty bicycles. The early 20th century was a time of great change, as transportation methods evolved and people began to seek out new ways to enjoy the great outdoors. Cycling became a popular pastime for both men and women, offering a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to traditional modes of transport. This photograph beautifully encapsulates the essence of this period, showcasing the simple pleasures of a bicycle ride through the English countryside and the enduring bond between friends as they embark on a new adventure together.
