7 19th Century Bicycling Tin Types, 2 High-Wheeled Bike Snapshot Photos.
Lot 59. 7 19th Century Bicycling Tin Types, 2 High-Wheeled Bike Snapshot Photos. Of these seven tin types, two are single poses. Each of the others shows at least two people, and in one case, four lined up on their bikes! Three of these tintypes are among the brightest and clearest we have ever seen, including one striking image of a young man. Two images show women modeled next to their bikes. Two are co-ed. Four tin types have one or more corners clipped, probably done by the photographer to make it easier to from these 2 ½” x 3 ½” (1/6 plate) examples. One tin type is dark. The others show excellent clarity and contrast. The tin types are accompanied by two sepia snapshopt photos, each featuring two images. Each pair has a Victorian high-wheeled bicycle, one with a child seated on it. In an image without a bicycle, a child holds a chicken. The snapshots are ex-m.
Winning Bid $100.
