Yes, the first photo is football. The giveaway is the particular type of lace-up jersey that they have on. The CDV size is a little odd though. Must be a late carryover since the image depicts 1880's footballers and most CDV's were gone by then.

I believe the second image is more like the 1890's. The image's tone appears more like that period. The image does look a little too glossy, which would concern me if it were a high-dollar image, but nobody would go through the trouble of faking a town team. I think the bib-front jersey is just a holdover from an earlier time.
