Gentlemen. Illustrated advertising leaflet with
engraving by Clarry Reilley Inc. (New York,
1869 Port 341 18 Pr Eph). Rare Book and Special
Collections Division.The Pearsall Brothers
introduced their peerless ladies' two-wheeled
velocipede as proper and practical and
requiring no change of dress. At their
fashionable New York City resort for bicycle
exercise, special hours were set aside for ladies
to exercise, but no ladies could take lessons
unless accompanied by a member of their family.
