Cycling Authority of America · 1890 · Chicago : The Authority · 15 pictures

A late nineteenth-century cycling catalogue published in Chicago in 1890 by the Cycling Authority of America, aimed at bicycle buyers and riders. Its pictures are plain line drawings of bicycles, a tandem, and a foot on a pedal, with a detail of a saddle post, and a designer might take their clean, sparse linework and cream-and-brown tones as a model for vintage technical illustration.
