- Description:
- Photograph. Sepia-toned photographic print of a wide portion of a velodrome track and the crowds gathered around it. Verso is labeled "1/4 M Bicycle track in Highland Park in the 90s." Photo was taken from the grassy field circumscribed by the banked track, facing outward toward a portion of it. Two bleachers filled with spectators surround outside of the track. A much smaller set of bleachers, as well as a row of standing spectators and perhaps participants line the interior of the track. A small group of them on the far right surround a large conical object, likely a large megaphone aimed at the crowd. Several bicycles rest along the track's upper railing. A shallow ditch and some wooden boards are in the foreground, within the track's interior.

- Description:
- Black and white print of 18 members of the "Detroit Rambler Club" posing behind their bicycles on the steps to the old post office in 1896 (as indicated on verso). A tandem bicycle is among the row of bikes. "Old P.O." is also written on verso, likely explaining why the post office's door is boarded-up with "Keep Out" painted next to a "No Admittance" sign, and one of its windows is broken. A white number is handwritten on each member and a key on the verso of the copy gives the identities of most of the club members. (See Notes tab.) "No. 6342" is also written on verso.
