Artifact Overview

E. A. McDuffie made an effort to race fast during the 1890s. This studio photograph -- an image he could give to friends or perhaps one his fans could purchase -- shows him in his racing togs or uniform atop a bike. The cyclist signed the back of this image simply, "Yours E. A. McDuffie."
