Catalog, "Columbia Bicycles, Pope Manufacturing Company, Only Edition for 1890"

In 1890 cyclists had choices. High-wheels were popular, especially among the young athletic set. The new "safety," with its same-sized wheels and easy mount, was gaining popularity among the general public. And tricycles had a following -- a favorite among wealthy women and the well-to-do. The Pope Manufacturing Company -- America's leading bicycle producer -- offered all these options in this catalog.
