The Canopied Penny Farthing Bicycle


   Here it is, quite an iconic image don't you think? Because everytime anyone sees the image of the canopied Penny Farthing, whether they can appreciate the Prisoner or not, they are instantly reminded of the series. Yet, this image is incomplete, the canopied Penny Farthing bicycle is short of the rear strut supporting the back of the canopy. It's as though some, not in all cases, of the closing credts is one frame short of the completed film!    BCNU

  1. Beautiful and iconic. Looking past the PF into the distance those statues lead you into a golden age where anything is possible.
    Romantic, evocative and sets my heart on fire.


    On another note The Prisoner was a wonderful series.

    1. Hello Anonymous,

      Thank you for you for having taken time to comment, a comment which you put very well. I had not thought of the statues in the way you describe. It is easy to see you have a passion for 'the Prisoner.'

      Very kind regards
