Historic Safety Bicycle Engraving - Classic 1880s Design #1241434 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white engraving depicts a late-19th-century safety bicycle, notable for its equal-sized front and rear wheels, direct chain drive to the rear wheel, and diamond-shaped frame-key innovations that replaced dangerous high-wheelers. The illustration includes period-accurate details such as a sprung leather saddle, lever-operated caliper brakes, and spoked wheels with solid rubber tires. Signed by “Klehr & Ross,” it reflects the craftsmanship of industrial-era technical illustration.
