Vanity Fair Cycling Supplements. A pair of horizontal format colour lithographic prints depicting crowded late Victorian bicycling scenes including predominantly women from the aristocracy, the chief participants being identified in the lower margin of the prints. The first, published on June 11,1896, is entitled 'Cycling in Hyde Park'; the second, published on June 3,1897, is 'Au Bois de Boulogne'. Both were printed by Vincent Brooks Day & Son, and are similarly mounted, framed and glazed. Print sizes within the mounts 38 x 51cm. The earlier print is a little browned through age, but otherwise both are in good condition. (2)
