Wheel songs : poems of bicycling
Wheel songs is a collection of bicycling poems by S. Conant Foster, published in New York by White, Stokes, & Allen in 1884 for a general reading public. Its pictures are small pen and ink drawings and silhouettes of penny-farthing riders, tumbles and mishaps, set on open cream paper with loose vignette borders; a designer might take from them the comic energy of early bicycle falls and the simple line work of 1880s humour illustration.
