EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print takes us back in time to Hyde Park in 1896. The artist, Samuel Begg, beautifully captures the essence of this iconic London park during a period of great change and innovation. In the foreground, we see a group of cyclists elegantly gliding through the park on their bicycles. This image showcases not only the growing popularity of cycling as a sport but also reveals the evolving fashion trends of the era. The men are dressed in dapper suits with bowler hats while women don long skirts and stylish hats, defying societal norms by embracing this new form of transportation. The lush greenery and grand trees that surround them create a picturesque backdrop for their leisurely ride. Hyde Park's serene beauty has always been an oasis within bustling London, offering respite to its visitors throughout history. Begg's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; he masterfully depicts each cyclist with precision and grace. Their expressions exude joy and freedom as they enjoy this exhilarating activity amidst nature's splendor. This lithograph originally appeared in The Illustrated London News, providing readers with an enchanting glimpse into life at that time. Now preserved within a private collection, it serves as both a historical artifact and a testament to Begg's artistic talent. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from 1896, we can't help but feel transported back to an era where bicycles were revolutionizing society and Hyde Park was witness to these exciting changes.
