Glass negative of a photograph showing the F.A. Elwell European Bicycle party of over a dozen young men posed in front of a large American flag and taken at Zurich. Some men sit on the ground, others sit on a low wall and the back row of the group stands. Some of the men wear three-piece suits while others do not wear suit jackets. The background also includes a backdrop depicting a townscape and the Alps. Frank A. Elwell was part of the League of American Wheelmen and conducted bicycle tours through Europe, America, and Bermuda beginning around 1884. He added ladies tours in 1892.
