"A lot of credence has been given to the theory that the bicycle
contributed in large part to the suffrage movement of the late 19th/early-20th
centuries, and this supposition carries a great deal of voracity.
However, sometimes a little style, a touch of breezy elegance goes
a long way towards convincing a different demographic, one say, not
quite so concerned with being liberated, to get their backsides on
a bicycle. Case in point, this poster for Dion-Bouton, graced with
a woman as sporty as the spaniel that accompanies her, posed atop
a verdant seaside cliff for no one in particular. Or perhaps for someone
very specific indeed: the male viewer apt to make a purchase for his
soon-to-be-domestically-unchained better half" (Rennert,
PAI-XXXV 118) |
