About this work

Tennis, horseback riding, bicycling, and hunting, in a nutshell this is what we see in the pictures taken by a late 19th-century amateur photographer. Primarily young people recorded these kinds of scenes. It should be clear that most of these amateurs were from affluent circles. Photography was expensive and time consuming.
