Mood of the day: Thrashed by a Lady Cyclist

A black and white illustration titled "Thrashed by a Lady Cyclist," subtitled "Who is noted for her athletic powers." The heading says The Illustrated Police News, July 1, 1899. A woman in a long dress with frilly arms, wearing a fancy hat, is punching an angry-looking man in suit and coat right in the face, his round bowler hat about to hit the ground. There is a bicycle on the ground in front of them. A crowd of onlookers appear to be smiling, one holding up his hand toward the fighters.
