    Those are just edit marks: x-es meaning "leave this (background) out" of the printed photo -- use the figure only.

    At that time, cycling was the preserve of the gentry and well-off. Bicycles were very expensive before mass production and besides, it would have been consider socially pretentious for anyone lower than middle-class to be seen cycling.
  • Gerhard said:
    And look how they were dressed for their bicycle tour. Especially the ladies in their long dresses.
  • Stuart said:
    Gerhard ....and that's why ladie's bicycles traditionally have no crossbar. In those days, cycling was the preserve of the wealthy and so when out on a leisurely cycle one had to look one's best....not let the side down.

    looks like the photographer posed them perfectly, then left that empty chair in the foreground which is distracting....himmm
  • Sheila Ryan said:
    It's actually the empty chair that really makes this for me.

    An earlier Lord Clonbrock (I don't know his number, but born 1807)., played 5 first class cricket matches, at least twice for England. His first-class batting average was 1.62. A gentleman rather than a player. www.espncricinfo.com/england/content/player/11645.html
