Riguardo questo articolo

[Nottingham, The Raleigh Cycle Co., Ltd., 1898]. Oblong octavo, [16] pages with numerous illustrations (10 pages each contain a large illustration and detailed information about individual models of bicycles, two of them tandems). Saddle-stapled, as issued; rusted staples no longer present, resulting in minor stains and trifling loss; some marks and light stains throughout (but generally inoffensive); a decent copy. The recto of each leaf is ink-stamped 'J. Mullins. Manufacturer & Importer of Bicycles, 84 Pirie St, Adelaide. Branch at Commercial Road Port Adelaide'. Retail prices for all but the tandem models are added in ink: they range from just over £20 to £32. To put these figures into perspective, on Saturday 19 February 1898, 'The Advertiser' classifieds offered for sale a four-room cottage 'with paved yard, shed, &c.' in Adelaide itself for £200, and a house with 'five rooms, verandahs, &c.' in inner-suburban Stepney for £300.
