Label TextWomen's rights advocate Susan B. Anthony noted that the bicycle had "done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world". This advertisement for the magazine Outing features a lively woman--free of her wildly spinning pedals--speeding along under the winking eye of the sun, her headlight illuminating the issue's dedication to her sport. Her elaborate curls, ornate hat, and billowing mutton-chop sleeves skirt are echoed in her equally elegant poodle.

A native of England, George Frederick Scotson-Clark spent much of the 1890s in New York, designing advertising and theater posters.
