"Dismounting Over the Wheel" from "Bicycling for Ladies" by Maria E. Ward, 1896 Cutting Board

A figure in a dark jacket and hat leans dramatically backward over a bicycle, captured mid-dismount in a graceful arc of motion, rendered in precise black ink against a cream ground. The composition balances anatomical detail with elegant linework, capturing both the mechanics of the bicycle and the controlled athleticism of the rider in this instructional yet whimsical moment. Crafted from bamboo and made to order, with a drilled hole so it hangs on the wall as easily as it works on the counter. A kitchen essential carrying an independent artist's work, not a blank block from the big-box aisle.
