Little nuggets of treasure from the art world's Fort Knox.

 

Did you know that May is National Bike Month? If you answered yes, then you are probably as much of a bike fanatic as Elihu Vedder, who loved his bike so much that he posed for a portrait with it. Also worth noting in this photo is Vedder’s resplendent mustache. Elihu Vedder with a bicycle, ca. 1910 / unidentified photographer. Elihu Vedder papers, Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.
