Several with minor toning occasional chipping creasing or small tears calendar partially perished. The majority very good to fine. The majority housed in a cloth binder and slipcase. A substantial and colorful collection of early catalogues and pamphlets presenting not only comprehensive listings of bicycles components and accessories but also tips on how to live modern life more fully thanks to ongoing advances in cycling technology. The English Rover Safety Bicycle considered the first modern bicycle a rear-wheel-drive chain-driven cycle with two similarly-sized wheels appeared on the market in 1885-86 and set off a worldwide bicycle craze. By the early 1900s more than 1 billion bicycles were on the roads. With this collection one can chart cycling's early history in the United States and the evolution of some of the leading manufacturers several of which combined bicycle and arms manufacturing. While most of these companies were headquartered in the Northeast Chicago or Ohio several had satellite offices as far west as Denver and San Francisco. Most of the pamphlets are extensively illustrated featuring images of products along with cyclists of all ages including women in increasingly modern cycling outfits. Bicycles not only gave Western women enhanced independence and mobility they also contributed to the "rational dress" movement which liberated women from corsets and ankle-length skirts and advocated more practical clothing.
