​An exceptional, original antique Real Photo Postcard capturing a pair of early British Veteran-era motorcycle outfits parked on a cobbled street.

​This rare social and transport history photograph shows two riders alongside female passengers seated in their respective sidecars, dressed in full Edwardian road gear (including broad-brimmed hats, heavy coats, and goggles).

​Detailed Technical Features & Motorcycle Highlights

​For early motorcycle and transport collectors, this photograph is packed with fantastic period mechanics and accessories:

• ​Front Suspension: Equipped with early Druid or Chater-Lea style leading-link girder front forks, featuring central coil springs.

• ​Lighting Systems: Mounted with large brass acetylene (carbide) headlamps. Note the frame-mounted calcium carbide water generator canister on the left bike used to produce acetylene gas for the lamp.

• ​Accessories: The left handlebars feature a prominent, oversized brass bulb horn with a wide flared bell.

• ​Sidecars: Shows two distinct early passenger designs—an open wicker/leatherette bath-chair style on the left, and a structured torpedo-style passenger sidecar with a protective apron in the center.
