Penny-Farthing Bicycle - Classic 19th-Century High-Wheeler Design #1691037 (License: Personal Use)

This stylized black-and-white illustration depicts a penny-farthing, the dominant bicycle design from the 1870s to 1880s, characterized by its enormous front wheel for increased speed and efficiency. The frame is minimal, with a saddle mounted directly over the front axle and pedals attached to the wheel hub, reflecting pre-chain-drive engineering. Its distinctive silhouette remains emblematic of Victorian-era transportation and cycling heritage.
