EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Bicycle in the French Army, a Cyclist Corps of 150 Men at the Longchamps Review" takes us back to the late 19th century. The image showcases a significant moment in French military history as it highlights the integration of bicycles into their armed forces. In this scene, we see a cyclist corps consisting of 150 men gathered at the prestigious Longchamps Review. Clad in their military uniforms, these dedicated soldiers proudly display their bicycles as they prepare for duty. Among them is also a remarkable sight - a female cyclist confidently participating alongside her male counterparts, challenging gender norms of that era. The illustration captures not only an important development in military strategy but also reflects the growing popularity of cycling as a sport and means of transportation during this time period. It symbolizes progress and innovation within both sports and technology. Georges Scott's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical moment to life, allowing us to imagine ourselves amidst the excitement and anticipation felt by these cyclists. This print serves as a reminder of how advancements in transportation have influenced various aspects of society throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded that even seemingly ordinary objects like bicycles can play extraordinary roles in shaping our world.
