The image is a vintage patent drawing of a velocipede, an early type of bicycle. It's a circular diagram with a side view of a man riding the bicycle. The bicycle has a large front wheel and a smaller rear wheel. The man is wearing a hat, a collared shirt, and pants. He is positioned on the seat, with his feet on the pedals. The bicycle's frame, wheels, and mechanical components are detailed with lines and labels. The drawing is labeled with the inventor's name, Richard C. Hemmings, the location, New Haven, Conn., the invention's name, Velocipede, the patent number, No. 92,528, and the patent date, July 13, 1869. The style is reminiscent of 19th-century technical illustrations, with a focus on mechanical detail and precision.
