Step back in time with this enchanting photograph of cyclists gathered at the Major Oak in Sherwood Forest, early 1900s. The Major Oak, a legendary tree believed to be over 1,000 years old, has long been a symbol of mystery and intrigue, with tales of Robin Hood and his Merry Men weaving their way through the forest's history. In this vintage image, a group of intrepid cyclists, dressed in Edwardian and Victorian attire, have made their way to the Major Oak for a rest and a photograph. The tree, with its gnarled trunk and sprawling branches, looms large in the background, dwarfing the cyclists and their bicycles. The men, wearing high-collared shirts, ties, and caps, and the women, in long skirts and blouses, exude an air of elegance and adventure. The bicycles, with their large wheels and intricate designs, are a testament to the technological advancements of the time. The scene is idyllic, with the sun filtering through the trees and casting dappled light on the forest floor. The cyclists seem to be enjoying a moment of respite before continuing their journey through the enchanting woodland. This photograph, from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when adventure and exploration were a source of excitement and wonder. It is a reminder of the enduring allure of Sherwood Forest and the magic that lies within its ancient woods.
