This vintage print from Universal Images Group (UIG) captures a fascinating glimpse into the world of cycling in America during the late 19th century. The display card showcases an elegant ladies' cycling dress, dating back to around 1890. What makes this attire particularly intriguing is the unique combination of a skirt worn over knickerbockers, which was considered revolutionary for its time. The lithograph beautifully depicts a woman confidently riding her bicycle while donning this fashionable ensemble. It highlights both style and practicality, as the skirt allows for freedom of movement while maintaining modesty.
