EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a German penny-farthing bicycle, captured by an anonymous 19th-century German photographer. The image is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the rich history of cycling in Germany. The towering penny-farthing, with its large front wheel and tiny back wheel, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and daring spirit of early cyclists. This iconic symbol of transportation evokes nostalgia for a time when bicycles were not just means of getting from one place to another but also objects of fascination and adventure. The photograph provides insight into German culture during this period, highlighting the popularity of cycling as both a sport and leisure activity. It reflects the enthusiasm for outdoor pursuits that still resonates in modern-day Germany. While little is known about the cyclist depicted in this image, their presence adds depth to the composition. Whether male or female, they embody the determination and passion shared by all who embraced this exhilarating mode of transport. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from history, we are reminded that sports like cycling have transcended time and continue to unite people across borders. This particular print serves as an ode to European sporting traditions while celebrating Germany's unique contribution to cycling heritage.
