Early 1900s bicycle and its proud owner!
To me this has all the hallmarks of a young lad getting his first new bike, in the back yard of their house, with mum looking proudly on!
I'd love to know more about the bike. The image looks to be early 1900s and it has pneumatic tyres, fixed wheel with no brakes, and a very heavy weight chain. Also, drop bars, nice pedals and toe-clips, a bell, and what looks like a mount for a front light. The badge on the head tube is indistinct, but maybe someone recognises it?
There's a very large looking wheel in the covered area to the left (garage?) which is presumably on a cart or carriage of some type.
Image measures ca 20cm x 15cm. No photographer or other identifying marks.
