EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 19th century, showcasing a fascinating glimpse into the world of leisure and transportation. The image features a Pedestrian Hobbyhorse, an innovative precursor to the modern bicycle, as depicted in Ackermanns Repository of Arts in 1819. In this vibrant colour lithograph, we are transported to the picturesque countryside where a male cyclist is seen riding his draisienne or "boneshaker" through a serene park setting. The cyclist exudes an air of confidence and adventure as he effortlessly glides along on this early form of two-wheeled transportation. The Pedestrian Hobbyhorse was not only a means of getting from one place to another but also became a popular sport during that era. This image captures the spirit of sporting enthusiasm as it showcases this gentleman engaging in this exciting new activity. As we admire this remarkable piece from English School's collection, it serves as a reminder of how far cycling has come since its humble beginnings. From rural pastimes to Olympic competitions, cycling has evolved into both a recreational hobby and professional sport enjoyed by millions worldwide. With its rich historical context and stunning visual appeal, this print invites us to appreciate not only the beauty of art but also reflect upon our ever-changing modes of transport and leisure activities throughout history.
