EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in military history. Taken from an engraving in "Le petit journal" on October 3,1897, the image showcases a military company of 90 cyclists maneuvering in the north of France with the support of cavalry. The scene depicts a unique blend of traditional combat strategy and modern transportation. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, are mounted on bicycles as they navigate through the rugged terrain. This innovative approach to warfare highlights the evolving nature of technology during the late nineteenth century. The print is part of the Selva Collection, curated by Henri Meyer (1841-99), offering us a glimpse into this significant period. It serves as a testament to both French ingenuity and their commitment to staying at the forefront of military tactics. Leonard de Selva's expert photography skills have beautifully captured this historical moment for posterity. The composition exudes strength and determination while showcasing how bicycles were integrated into warfare during this time. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded not only of France's rich military heritage but also its contributions to technological advancements that continue to shape our world today.
