About this clipart
This illustration depicts a late-19th-century penny-farthing (or high-wheel) bicycle, characterized by its massive front wheel (typically 48-60 inches in diameter) and tiny rear wheel, connected by a curved tubular frame. The design maximized speed and efficiency before the invention of chain-driven safety bicycles, though it demanded balance and courage to ride. Pedals are directly attached to the front wheel hub, reflecting pre-chain propulsion technology.
