EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the turn of the century, where we witness Madame Richard Lesclide exuding aristocratic charm as she confidently rides her bicycle. The image captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the early days of bicycling when it was still considered a novel activity for women. Madame Richard Lesclide's impeccable fashion sense is on full display; she dons a stylish hat adorned with delicate feathers, while her leggings and spats add an air of sophistication to her ensemble. With her lorgnette in hand, she epitomizes grace and refinement. Accompanying this remarkable photograph is a poem penned by none other than Richard Lesclide himself. As both husband and poet, he praises his wife's adventurous spirit and celebrates her mastery over this new mode of transportation. His words echo through time, capturing the essence of their shared love for cycling during an era that witnessed rapid social change. This French advertisement from 1900 promotes Coca Mariani - not just any ordinary beverage but one infused with energy-giving properties. However, let us focus solely on the artistic value within this historical context rather than its commercial use. The "ARISTOCRAT ON WHEELS" print encapsulates an era when women were breaking societal norms by embracing newfound freedom on two wheels. It serves as a testament to their strength and determination while highlighting the beauty
