EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of innovation and law enforcement in 19th century France. In this colourful lithograph, we see a determined police officer making an arrest from his bicycle, showcasing the progressive nature of policing during that time. The scene unfolds on a bustling street as the officer swiftly pedals towards his target. With precision and agility, he apprehends a criminal, demonstrating the effectiveness of this new mode of transportation for crime-fighting purposes. The vibrant colours bring life to the image, highlighting both the excitement and urgency of the situation. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on August 30th, 1896. It serves as a testament to French culture and history while also celebrating advancements in sportsmanship and cycling. Notably, amidst all the action is a female cyclist nearby, challenging traditional gender roles by participating in this male-dominated sport. This inclusion adds depth to the composition and hints at societal changes taking place during that era. Overall, this print showcases not only artistic skill but also historical significance. It reminds us of how far law enforcement has come since then while paying homage to those who paved the way for modern policing techniques through their innovative spirit.
