EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Dandy-Horse" a revolutionary invention that emerged around 1818. Known as the Draisen in Paris and the Drais Laufmashin in Germany, this early form of transportation was a precursor to the modern bicycle we know today. The wood engraving, created around 1880, beautifully captures the essence of this remarkable contraption. Intriguingly simple yet innovative, The Dandy-Horse allowed individuals to experience newfound freedom and mobility like never before. With its two wheels aligned on a sturdy frame, riders could propel themselves forward by pushing their feet against the ground. This unconventional method provided an exhilarating sensation akin to gliding effortlessly through space. As we gaze upon this image, it transports us back in time to an era when bicycles were still evolving into their present-day form. It reminds us of how far we have come in terms of transportation technology and how these humble beginnings laid the foundation for our modern modes of travel. Beyond its historical significance lies a sense of adventure and exploration inherent within every cyclist's journey. Whether it be traversing bustling city streets or meandering along scenic countryside paths, riding a bicycle has always been synonymous with freedom and discovery. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and an invitation to embark on new adventures through pedal-powered transport. It encapsulates not only the evolution of bikes but also our enduring fascination with them – forever capturing our collective desire
