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? #bicyclehistory

From my collection: a 19th century British tintype of two men, four women and a boy, most likely working "in service", and photographed outside the back of their employers' house.

Relaunching from the other place - here's one of my favourite images from my collection - a 19th century British tintype of a coachman or groomsman, photographed in the stable yard.
