Three unusual unidentified group photos. [none are marked on the back]

All are from the Himes Studio, which operated in Traverse City between 1894 and 1900. Although open for about six years, the studio used at least three different maker's marks on the photographs they produced.

The first and second photographs were purchased at the same time on Ebay. They may represent young men in costume, for a party or play.

The third photograph shows two men posed with their bicycles. Bicycles became popular in the 1890s throughout the United States.
