Sepia-toned portrait photograph of American female architect Louise Blanchard Bethune with her bicycle outdoors on the side of a dirt country road, circa 1890-1910. A tall vertical post is positioned near her. The surroundings include scattered trees and a few buildings set back from the road. The image is framed in a circular vignette, with open space and vegetation visible around the roadside area. Louise Bethune reportedly purchased the first woman's bicycle to go on sale in Buffalo and was an active member of the Women's Wheel and Athletic Club.
