Late 19th Century Holbrook Military Academy Pach Bros Imperial Cabinet Photos
Here are some large cabinet photos of the Holbrook Military Academy. They were taken by the prestigious Pach Bros Photography Studio. Pach Bros were responsible for taking photos of many of the ivy league schools during the time including Princeton, Harvard, and Yale. Holbrook Military Acadamy was in Ossining, New York near Sing Sing and closed in 1915. It is also interesting to note that the way these photos were stored over the years caused transfer of one photo to the back of the other.

1870s Rugby CDV Edinburgh Institution F.P.
This is an 1870s Howie Jun rugby CDV of Edinburgh Institution F.P. This team was formed between 1871 and 1872. As one would suspect it is pretty difficult to find any information about this team because records around this period were not great. Howie Jun was a fairly prominent photographer during this time. Another interesting feature of this CDV is the fact that most Howie Jun CDV's state Established in 1840 on the back, but this one says 1839.
A picture of an older team I could find.
