Mit\u00e4 tied\u00e4mme kuvan i\u00e4st\u00e4?<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Ensimm\u00e4inen isopy\u00f6r\u00e4inen polkupy\u00f6r\u00e4 rakennettiin 1869. Ajatuksena oli tehd\u00e4 py\u00f6rist\u00e4 nopeampia. Ne kuitenkin havaittiin pian vaarallisiksi ajaa ja niiden valmistus loppui vuoteen 1893 menness\u00e4. K\u00e4yt\u00f6ss\u00e4 niit\u00e4 kuitenkin n\u00e4kyi ainakin viel\u00e4 1920-luvulle saakka, sill\u00e4 nopeutensa vuoksi niit\u00e4 k\u00e4ytettiin mm. py\u00f6r\u00e4kilpailuissa. Henkil\u00f6iden asut h\u00e4mment\u00e4v\u00e4t. Vaalea-asuisen naisen puku voisi antaa viitteit\u00e4 aikakaudesta v\u00e4h\u00e4n\u00a0tarkemmin, mutta kuvassa asu on valitettavan ep\u00e4tarkka. K\u00e4rryj\u00e4 ajavan, oletettavasti miehen asu on erikoinen: jonkinlainen kolkkahattu ja iso kaulusr\u00f6yhel\u00f6. Py\u00f6r\u00e4ilij\u00e4ll\u00e4 on paita, rusetti, syv\u00e4\u00e4n uurrettu liivi, tiukasti istuvat housut (ehk\u00e4 polvipituiset)<\/strong><\/span> ja mahdollisesti nilkkurit jotka n\u00e4ytt\u00e4v\u00e4t omaan silm\u00e4\u00e4ni erehdytt\u00e4v\u00e4sti naisten nilkkaremmikengilt\u00e4. Py\u00f6r\u00e4ilij\u00e4 voi olla toki my\u00f6s nainen, vaikka n\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4kin ett\u00e4 h\u00e4nell\u00e4 on chaplin-viikset. Taustan nainen taas n\u00e4ytt\u00e4isi olevan puettu krinoliinipukuun. On kuin henkil\u00f6t olisivat kaikki aivan eri aikakausilta.<\/p>\n

Kuvan takana on ainoastaan valokuvapaperin valmistajan leima Agfa-Brovira. Agfa alkoi valmistaa valokuvapapereita vuonna 1913. Tied\u00e4mme siis varmasti ett\u00e4 kuvaa ei ole voitu ottaa, tai ainakaan kehitt\u00e4\u00e4 ennen sit\u00e4. Onnistuin selvitt\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n sen verran ett\u00e4 taustan leima on ollut k\u00e4yt\u00f6ss\u00e4 vain Toiseen maailmansotaan asti, vaikka Brovira-paperia on valmistettu sen j\u00e4lkeenkin. Bonettihatut meniv\u00e4t muodista kuningatar Victorian kuoltua 1901. Samoin k\u00e4vi krinoliineille, tosin ne palasivat lyhyesti muotiin Ensimm\u00e4isen maailmansodan aikaan 1915-17 ja uudelleen viel\u00e4 50-luvulla. Kuluttajille suunnatut pienikokoiset kamerat tulivat markkinoille 1900-luvulla, mutta alkoivat yleisty\u00e4 vasta 30-luvulla. T\u00e4llaisen snapshot-tyyppisen tilannekuvan ottaminen olisi siis ollut mahdollista jo 1900-luvun alussa, mutta harvalla oli sellaiseen varaa. T\u00e4m\u00e4n tarkempaa aikahaarukkaa emme siis kuvalle saa, mutta lienee turvallista olettaa ett\u00e4 jonkinlainen lavastettu tilanne siin\u00e4 on kyseess\u00e4.<\/p>\n

While I am creating living history at 1700’s event, my bike photo of the Month is offering you rather special treat. In front there is two people in horse carriage, smiling driver \u00a0and women passenger wearing bonnet hat, turned to see behind her. After the carriage there is assumably a man driving pennyfarthing. On the roadside we can see a boy. Behind the cyclist there is boy in light coloured clothes, holding a bike and behind him, on the right edge of the photo, woman wearing large skirt.<\/p>\n

What do we know about the time period?<\/strong><\/span> First pennyfarthing was built in 1869. The idea was to make bikes faster. Pennyfarthings were soon found out to be dangerous to drive and manufacturing was finished by the 1893. However they were still in use atleast in the 1920’s, they were handy for the speed in racing. Outfits of the people in the photo are confusing. Ladies outfit might give a clue of the era, but unfortunately it is very blurry. Driver, assumably a man, is wearing very peculiar outfit: possibly some sort of corner hat and huge collar ruffle. Cyclist has shirt, bowtie, vest, very tight trousers (possibly knee length)<\/strong><\/span> and ankle shoes which look to me very much like women’s ankle strap pumps. Cyclist can also be a woman, even though it seems like the person has Chaplin moustache. And lady at the back seems to have crinoline dress. It’s like people in the photo are all from different eras.<\/p>\n

Backside of the photo only has Agfa-Brovira label. Agfa started making photo papers in 1913. So for sure we know that photo could have not been taken, or atleast printed before that. I managed to find out that label in question has been in use only until WWII, even though Brovira paper has been made still after that. Bonnet hats went out of fashion when Queen Victoria died in 1901. Same thing happened to crinoline skirts, allthough they came back for short visit during First World War around 1915-17 and again in 50’s. Consumer cameras became available in 1900’s, but started to become more common much later, in 1930’s. So this kind of snapshot photo would have been possible alreay in early 1900’s, but not very many could afford it, atleast here in Finland. We can’t really get any more precise time period for this photo, but I think it’s safe to assume this situation is somewhat staged.<\/p>\n
