date for Lilian SUTTON and bicycle
« on: Tuesday 25 August 15 12:11 BST (UK) »
Would it be possible to date this photo of Lilian SUTTON with her bicycle. If earlier than 1910 then she is in London, if later then she's in Sydney.

Many thanks in advance.

What is the difference between a well dressed bicyclist and a poorly dressed tricyclist?

Attire.  ;)

It will be a Triumph if we solve this one.

We do not want to be saddled with  a problem that  we cannot solve.

Does the writing on the back imply   that she took the bicycle  with her TO Australia, do you think?

I would say it was Edwardian and the divided back postcard was introduced in the UK in 1902. I hope I've steered you in the right direction  ;D

Thanks for your interest ScouseBoy (and the puns!),

Yes, that's my understanding. It's my grandmother's writing, apparently her mother brought the bicycle with her to Australia in 1910.  :)
