About this clipart
This 1817-1820 era illustration depicts the “dandy horse” (or Laufmaschine), invented by German Baron Karl Drais, featuring two same-sized wheels, a wooden frame, and handlebars for steering-but no pedals. The rider propels it by pushing off the ground with their feet, marking the birth of the bicycle concept. Its popularity surged briefly across Europe before fading due to road conditions and social stigma.
