Cycling / Prehistory " Album Mars - Mesdames les Cyclistes " Illustrated album, Librairie Plon, 48 p., circa 1890, 32 x 25 cm The genial Mars, alias Maurice Bonvoisin (1849-1912) regales us with a vibrant plea for the daring women who ventured out on the first bicycles, synonymous with unexpected freedom: "The skirt has its secret, but the breeches don't have the art of keeping quiet". It's a merry-go-round of fittings, flirtations, punctures, lessons and declarations at 30 miles an hour. With him, we witness the blossoming of a new form of freedom for women. This album has not been reissued, as have many others by Mars, and at a time when women's cycling is finally enjoying a new golden age, it might be time to take the wheel of these beautiful Martians.
