Penny-Farthing Bicycle: History, Design, and Legacy of the High Wheeler #3837665 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing depicts a classic penny-farthing bicycle, a late-19th-century innovation where the front wheel’s diameter maximized speed per pedal revolution. The rigid frame, direct-drive mechanism, and minimal saddle reflect early engineering constraints and rider skill requirements. Its distinctive silhouette remains a symbol of Victorian-era transportation and cycling evolution.
