EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1895, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of elegance and innovation. A lady, dressed in the fashionable Rational cycling dress of the era, gracefully rides a safety bicycle with a handbrake through the bustling streets of London. This image serves as an advertisement for Ellimans Embrocation, a renowned medicine brand at that time. The lady exudes confidence and poise as she effortlessly maneuvers her patent cycle amidst the chaos of city life. Her attire showcases both style and practicality, reflecting the changing role of women in society during this period. The Rational cycling dress allowed freedom of movement while maintaining modesty – an important consideration for Victorian ladies. This photograph not only captures a snapshot of transportation history but also highlights the growing popularity and acceptance of cycling as a means of transport for women. It symbolizes progress and empowerment as women embraced new opportunities afforded by technological advancements. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how far we have come since then. It reminds us to appreciate our present-day conveniences while honoring those who paved the way for future generations.
