Summary
| Description |
1897 advertisement in The Graphic for Elliman's Universal Embrocation (manufactured in Slough), showing a relatively early example of an ordinary non-sea-bathing Western woman appearing skirtless in public (wearing "rationals" or "knickerbockers" or "bloomers" for bicycle-riding). The whole outfit (top and bottom) was known as a "bicycle suit". For the radical change in the way that women rode bicycles over a period of just ten years, compare Image:Bicycling-ca1887-bigwheelers.jpg and Image:Ausfahrt im Sociable um 1886 - Verkehrszentrum.JPG (which date from just before the "safety bicycle" and the woman's "bicycle suit" started to catch on). |
