EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful Victorian carte-de-visite photograph captures the essence of childhood excitement and innovation during the late 19th century. The young lad, dressed in a crisp shirt and knickers, stands proudly alongside his Penny Farthing bicycle, a symbol of freedom and modernity during this era. The Penny Farthing, with its large front wheel and small rear wheel, was a popular mode of transportation during the 1880s, and represented a significant advancement in bicycle technology. The photograph was taken in a studio, likely by Alfred Griffiths or one of his contemporaries. Griffiths was a renowned British photographer known for his portraits and landscapes. The meticulously crafted background, with its intricate details and rich colors, adds to the overall charm of the image. The young boy's expression of pride and accomplishment is evident as he gazes at the Penny Farthing, a testament to his mastery of this new and daring invention. The photograph provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when technology and childhood wonder intersected in a beautiful and captivating way.
