VINTAGE PHOTO OF MENS SOCCER OR RUGBY TEAM : STRIPED JERSEYS : INCLUDES MYSTERY WOMAN

This vintage photograph features a men’s soccer team. The player in the center of the first row is holding a soccer ball. If you look at it under magnification, you will note that the ball has stitching. Could this be a Rugby team? Nine of the team members are wearing vertically striped jerseys. Each end of the back row is occupied by a man in a suit; presumably, they are the team’s coaches. One of them is holding a cigarette. A well dressed woman is standing in the back row. I can’t help but wonder what her relationship is to this team. The answer to that question is lost to history. This photograph is unmounted and measures about 6 1/2″ x 4 5/8″. SOLD

This vintage real photo postcard features a portrait of a boxer. His name is listed as “Vermot”. Unfortunately, without knowing his first name, it is difficult to confirm the identity of this fighter. It is likely that this is a photograph of “Vernot”, a French light weight boxer active in 1912. He only fought one bout. This postcard was published by Dix, a company located in Paris. The firm published a series of postcards of boxers of the day. This postcard offers a crisp image and is in very good condition (see scans). SOLD

Schumacher was at the William Street address, where this photo was taken, between 1880 and 1897. SOLD
