EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait captured by the talented Otto Herschan, we are transported back in time to the Victorian era. The focal point of the photograph is Mr A W Burton, confidently perched atop his penny-farthing bicycle - a quintessential symbol of that period's innovation and charm. The towering front wheel, characteristic of the penny-farthing design, dominates the frame as it stands proudly against a backdrop of what appears to be a quiet country road. Its large size serves as a testament to both its functionality and status during those times when cycling was still an emerging mode of transportation. Mr Burton himself exudes an air of elegance and adventure. Dressed impeccably in formal attire with a top hat adorning his head, he epitomizes the refined gentleman cyclist who embraced this new form of mobility. His steady gaze suggests confidence and perhaps even a hint of mischief as he prepares for another exhilarating ride through history. Otto Herschan's masterful composition captures not only Mr Burton but also evokes nostalgia for an era long gone. This print from Fine Art Storehouse allows us to appreciate not just the beauty and intricacy of early bicycles but also offers us a glimpse into society's fascination with progress during one of history's most transformative periods.
