I had thought Portlaw was an estate village, but this looks much more like a mill town, and sure enough, the 25" shows a grand big cotton factory.

another Quaker model village. 3Ps, no pubs, no pawn, ergo ...no police. Looks like no dogs either! though the smudge in the corner could be a chicken

Foxglove Please refrain from calling my Dog a chicken!

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Cigarette Cards, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Harry Wright originally was the star of the first pro team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings of 1869.

He looks 50 years old. Look how big that ball is compared to today's football. No wonder they didn't pass it much. It would be like passing the Goodyear Blimp.

Could this be a "R. C. Hill" from this photo (depicting the 1888 football team of the University of Pennsylvania)? www.archives.upenn.edu/histy/features/sports/football/180... (If this Hill indeed attended the university in 1888/1889, then the apparent age of the man on this 1913 photo fits. ) Who might be the "Robert C. Hill" who gave his name to the Hill College House - hill.house.upenn.edu/old_website/history.html

It is likely that this picture is Robert B. Hill.

artolog: You're right, it does seem probable this is the same Hill. We will include his full name next time we update the description.

I added his to Wikidata: Robert Brinton Hill (1892-1918) www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q97141566
