Circa 1870s cdv-sized Tintype photo depicting the uncommon topic of a portrait of two men wearing roller skates. Possibly they were performers. Notice that one man holds a cigar while the other displays a book. They both appear aloof as they gaze into the distance. What highlights this image is the way the sitters kick up the soles of their skates showing the detail. (The first 4-wheel skate was designed in 1863 by James Plimpton of Medford, MA.) Approximate image size is 2-1/2" x 3-1/2". Condition: trimmed corners, some light soiling and light surface scuffs, occasional dings and edge bumps.
