UK cigarette card

Posted By: Jason/earlybball

Hi Guys,

I just picked this up recently thinking it was a US baseball CDV. After a bit of research however, it turns out it was taken in London by Lawrence Lowe of St. Johns Wood, N.W.

Does anyone have a clue to who they may be or why they are in the UK? I would probably date it around 1874c - do you guys concur? If it is around 1874, could it have something to do with the UK tour between Boston & Philadelphia?

The only info I found on Lowe was that he was in business in SJW in 1868. The backdrop and style of the card look to be late 1860's but those uniforms look to be post Red Stockings (1869). A DeWitt guide I have from the early 1870's advertises almost the exact same Peck & Snyder uniforms as on the 2 gents have. This may add weight to the 1874 date?

Can anyone help? This one intrigues me!

Thanks

Jason
