EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant lithograph print showcases Fred Wood, a renowned cyclist from the late 19th century. The image is part of the "Worlds Champions" series by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, released in 1888. In this portrait, Wood exudes confidence and determination as he poses with his bicycle - a classic penny farthing. Wood's sporting prowess is evident through his impressive sportsman attire and the intense red color palette that surrounds him. The lithography technique used to create this artwork adds depth and richness to every detail, capturing the essence of Wood's athleticism. As an English cyclist, Wood represents both his country and an era when cycling was gaining popularity as a competitive sport. This trade card not only celebrates Wood's individual achievements but also pays homage to the broader culture of road transport and sports during that time. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece holds historical significance as it reflects the intersection between art and commerce in the late 19th century. It serves as a testament to Allen & Ginter's commitment to producing visually stunning cigarette cards that captivated audiences across Britain. Through this lithotint print titled "Fred Wood, Cyclist" viewers are transported back in time to witness one man's dedication and skill within the world of cycling - an enduring symbol of human achievement against all odds.
