EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Cyclist Corps of Regulars in the British Army" transports us back to a bygone era when bicycles played an unexpected role in military operations. Created by Alfred Chantrey Corbould in 1889, this historical artwork offers a glimpse into the unique fusion of technology and warfare during that time. The image showcases a group of determined soldiers from the British Army's Cyclist Corps, clad in their distinctive uniforms and mounted on bicycles. The cyclists navigate through challenging terrain, exemplifying their adaptability and agility as they traverse bad ground with ease. With rifles slung across their backs and carrying reserves on their bikes, these brave men demonstrate both strength and resourcefulness. Intriguingly, amidst this predominantly male ensemble stands a lone female cyclist. Undeterred by societal norms or gender expectations, she fearlessly joins her male counterparts on this daring mission. Her presence serves as a powerful reminder that women have always been integral contributors to history's most significant moments. Corbould's masterful technique brings every intricate detail to life – from the texture of the soldiers' uniforms to the ruggedness of the landscape surrounding them. This engraving not only captures an extraordinary moment but also celebrates cycling as more than just a sport; it becomes an essential tool for military strategy. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of how innovation can shape our world even within unexpected realms like warfare. It is through such artistic glimpses into history
