From my collection: a British tintype of four gentlemen with their bikes. Presumably late Victorian/early Edwardian. Are there any bicycle historians out there who could add more detail?

Now, for something different and creative, go check this original, creative, and beautiful work (wet plates, cyanotype prints,…). She reposts more than she posts but everything on there is worth checking out. Good taste!

This is one of the portraits I made using the wet plate collodion process - I spent a few years photographing children and trying to capture brief moments of stillness in their often hectic and busy lives.
