EDITORS COMMENTS
This advertisement image, hailing from June 1897, showcases The Bamboo Cycle Co. Ltd and their innovative bamboo bicycles. Situated on Holborn Viaduct in London's EC postal district, the company was a pioneer in the bicycle industry during the late Victorian era. The advertisement features an elegant woman, dressed in fashionable attire, gracefully seated on a bamboo bicycle, her long skirt billowing in the wind. The bicycle's unique design, with its bamboo frame and intricately patterned wheels, is a testament to the company's commitment to using sustainable materials and pushing the boundaries of bicycle technology. A clown, with his red nose and oversized shoes, adds a whimsical touch to the advertisement, emphasizing the joy and freedom that bicycles brought to people during this era. The peacock feather in the woman's hat and the background details of the bustling cityscape further enhance the image's visual appeal. The advertisement was likely published in a popular magazine of the time, further increasing the reach and impact of The Bamboo Cycle Co. Ltd's marketing efforts. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the emancipation and freedom that bicycles offered women during the 1890s, as well as the innovative advertising techniques used to capture the public's attention. This advertisement image from Mary Evans Picture Library offers a unique window into the past, providing a glimpse into the world of late Victorian-era transportation and advertising.
