The Springfield wheelmen's gazette
The Springfield Wheelmen's Gazette is a periodical of 1883 published in Springfield, Massachusetts, by the Springfield Bicycle Club for cyclists and club members. Its pictures are plain wood-engraved views of bicycles, including high-wheelers, a tricycle and a safety model, drawn in clear outline with fine spokes and shading. A designer could take from them the early bicycle silhouette, with its oversized front wheel and small rear wheel, shown in simple engraved line.
