EDITORS COMMENTS
This Carte-de-visite photograph, circa 1880, showcases the Birmingham Cricket Team(s) with an intriguing addition of Penny-farthing bicycles. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, features an assemblage of cricketers, each in their cricket attire, posing confidently for the camera. The team's uniforms consist of white shirts, dark trousers, and bowler hats, adding to the classic cricket aesthetic. The background of the photograph reveals a picturesque pavilion, possibly the team's home ground, with lush greenery and trees surrounding it. The most striking element of this photograph, however, are the Penny-farthing bicycles that the cricketers are seen riding. These iconic vehicles, with their large front wheels and smaller rear wheels, were a popular mode of transportation during the late 19th century. The photograph was taken at the Walter, Welford, and Woodbine studio, located at 43 Hagley Road, Birmingham. The studio, known for its high-quality photography, captured this moment in time, preserving the essence of the era's cricket culture and the fascination with Penny-farthing bicycles. This Carte-de-visite photograph is a testament to the intersection of sports, technology, and fashion during the Victorian era, making it a valuable historical artifact.
