EDITORS COMMENTS
Clara Grace, an accomplished Englishwoman and record-breaking cyclist, is depicted in this photograph as she proudly poses with her bicycle after setting a new record for riding from London to Coventry in an astonishing 6 hours, 56 minutes, and 49 seconds. Dressed in the fashionable attire of the 1890s, Clara wears a tailored jacket and a stylish boater hat, complete with a ribbon adorned with the colors of the Royal Aquarium Cycling Club, of which she was a member. Her outfit is complemented by high-top shoes, perfect for her cycling endeavors. The year was 1895, an era of innovation and progress, and cycling was rapidly gaining popularity as a sport for both men and women. Clara, an international professional racer, was a champion in her own right, having competed in numerous tournaments held in wooden velodromes across Europe. Her record-breaking ride from London to Coventry was a testament to her strength, endurance, and skill, and it solidified her place in the annals of cycling history. The photograph captures the essence of the 19th century, a time when transportation was undergoing a significant transformation, and the bicycle was becoming a symbol of freedom and independence for women. Clara's determined expression and the sense of accomplishment in her posture serve as a reminder of the indomitable spirit of the women who dared to break barriers and push the limits of what was considered possible.
