| Frank Patterson`s `A Country Club Run` (3 Couples on Tandem Tricycles) |
|---|
|
| | This particular piece is hand printed on a stainless steel plate and attached to a nice beveled piece of wood. This was sent to Howie in a box with several other treasures by Pete Mole, long time friend and business associate. It was sent to the John T. Bill Company by AAB Centro-American Co., Ltd. of London, England, an export agent for many British bicycle products, including but not limited to; Gem Tape, Coloral Aluminum bottles & cages, Leco baby seats, BH hubs & parts, etc. The dimensions are 8 1/2 x 6 inches. A little history; Frank Patterson is one of the best known `bicycle` sketch artist of all time. His sketches adorned the pages of England`s `Cycling` magazine, a weekly published by Temple Press, from the late 1800`s well into the 1900`s. I have four (4) different books in my `bicycle book library` that are full of hundreds of sketches by Patterson (it is reported that Patterson did over 5,000 bicycle and bicycling sketches). He was a large man who loved cycling and he had an extraordinary talent for drawing each part of the bicycle in perfect proportion. When he was too old to ride a bicycle he changed to a lightweight dérailleur geared adult tricycle and he always had his sketch pad tucked away in the saddle bag. |
