- Abstract
-
"The front of the velocipede (see British Museum Satires No. 13399) is in the normal shape, and is ridden by a dandy; the bar is elongated and dropped to give space for a seat on which a lady sits, wearing an enormous bonnet. At the back is a much lower seat, like a dickey, behind the back wheel. In this sits a groom, with his feet on a foot-rest, working the wheel by handles attached to the hubs. In the background (left) is a similar machine, carrying three."--British Museum online catalogue
