Salon du Cycle. 1894.
Off she goes to the cycle show: our leading lady glances behind her as if to say, "Well, aren't you coming?" She is ready to ride, and dressed for the job: her elegant bonnet veil will help protect against sun and dirt while she zooms along, and her kitten heels are just the right height to guarantee swift pedaling—while still looking chic. Gray's advertisement for the 1894 cycle show is a simple and elegant invitation to see all the newest and greatest velocipedes in town.
