EDITORS COMMENTS
John Keen, Champion Penny-Farthing Cyclist (1902) - A captivating image of John Keen, a celebrated champion penny-farthing cyclist, in the prime of his athletic career. The photograph, taken in 1902, captures the essence of the Edwardian era and the growing popularity of cycling as a sport and mode of transport. John Keen's intense focus and determination are evident in his expression as he expertly maneuvers the large, high-wheeled Penny-Farthing bicycle. The Surrey type Penny-Farthing, with its distinctive design and striking appearance, was the preeminent bicycle of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its large front wheel and smaller rear wheel provided a smoother ride and greater speed, making it the preferred choice for serious cyclists. The photograph offers a glimpse into the world of competitive cycling during the Edwardian period. Dressed in his racing attire, complete with a tight-fitting jersey and knickers, John Keen embodies the spirit of athleticism and adventure that defined this era. The empty road and open landscape in the background further emphasize the sense of freedom and excitement that came with cycling, as well as the growing popularity of the sport. As one of the most successful Penny-Farthing cyclists of his time, John Keen's accomplishments and achievements on the race track made him a hero to many. This photograph stands as a testament to his skill, dedication, and the enduring appeal of penny-farthing cycling during the early 1900s.
