"Coasting" from "Bicycling for Ladies" by Maria E. Ward, 1896 Placemat

A figure in Victorian dress rides a bicycle with relaxed posture, leaning back in a coasting position across the composition. The ink sketch employs fine line work and cross-hatching against a cream ground, capturing both the mechanical precision of the bicycle and the leisurely ease of the rider. Printed on 100% cotton with natural cotton on the back and made to order, machine washable. Everyday dinners set under an independent artist's work, not vinyl from the seasonal aisle.
