1904 Rex

Another lovely early veteran era image. The machine is a Rex, a fairly distinctive bike of which the identification was further simplified by the bike and year being written on the reverse of the photo. Like all these photos, if only we knew the story behind them... the gent is rather fashionably dressed, though perhaps not for motorcycling. Anyone who had a motorcycle back in these days was well off. Just as a fun aside, note the 'stumpery' in the back ground - a very fashionable garden feature of the Victorian and early Edwardian era.
