Cycling Team Tintype? Opinions?
Posted By: Clint
Keith, I'm not an expert but these guys seem dressed for something besides cycling. I only have one cycling photo from the 1890's and they are dressed very different. |

Thanks for the response Clint. That's a nice photo you have there. I agree, that the guys in your photo look more dressed for athletic action than the ones in mine. I have seen some cycling team photos that have garb like mine are wearing, but I am not sure if they competed in that clothing or if that was just for a photo. I guess I'll never know for sure what this photo is of. |

50/60 early cycling images in my travels (although that was ONLY on cabinet or slightly larger MOUNTED images). It looks more like simply an athletic club studio gathering prior to or subsequent to an event. Sort of like their "dress uniforms"..... Not likely to see "white" colored clothes and long leggings etc. in this sport. Fencing and other indeavors more likely but I don't see the horse nor the dogs that would go with the bugle..... Cycling was EXTREMELY popular right around the turn of the century and ANYTHING is possible. |
