Carte de Visite photo of Penny Farthing High Wheel Bicycle Trick Rider Harriet ” Big Hattie ” Martell (sometimes spelled Martel). In this photo, Hattie is balancing on her high wheel bicycle whose wheels are not propped up in any way and she is holding the handbars to her bicycle in her left hand. Harriet would get the nickname Big Hattie as she grew into her teens where she blossomed into a tall young lady. She often performed with her father, whose name I believe was George, and her brother, whose name I think was Peter. The three performed as The Martell Family whose specialty was penny farthing high wheel bicycle trick riding much like their contemporaries, The Stirk Family.
