EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Evolution of the Cycle: Ovenden's Machine (1761) and Bolton's Machine (1804)" (1 of 8), dates back to 1892, offering a fascinating glimpse into the early history of the bicycle. The image showcases two significant inventions that marked the beginning of the bicycle's evolution during the 18th and 19th centuries. In the foreground, we see Ovenden's machine from the 1760s. This early contraption, attributed to James Ovenden, features a large front wheel and a smaller rear wheel, with the rider seated between the wheels. The rider steers the machine by turning the front wheel directly, making it an early precursor to the modern bicycle. In the background, Bolton's machine from 1804 is depicted. Designed by James and William Bolton, this invention introduced the principle of equal-sized wheels, which would become a fundamental aspect of bicycle design. The rider sits on a saddle and steers the machine using handlebars connected to the front wheel. The print serves as a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the men who shaped the early history of cycling. As we admire these early contraptions, we are reminded of the transformative impact these inventions had on transportation and the lives of people during the 1890s and beyond. The Evolution of the Cycle: Ovenden's Machine and Bolton's Machine stand as symbols of human curiosity, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of progress.
