Velocipede Tricycle, Michaux & Cie., Paris, 1868
This unique velocipede with the magnificently carved dragon's head was made by the celebrated pioneering manufacturer of velocipedes, and was exhibited in Paris at the Exposition Retrospective du Cycle at the Grand Palais in 1907.
The carved head clearly has oriental elements resembling a dragon horse: the Chinese Quilin (ki-lin) or Japanese Kirin.
This extraordinary tricycle is considered by bicycle historians to be one of the most important historical bicycles in the world. For this reason it is the greatest piece in collection of Pryor Dodge and would be the most significant piece in any bicycle collection.
