<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 34639, member: 23"]I think the painted backdrop is supposed to be outdoors with trees, but it's fallen down on one side. It doesn't look like a tent to me. I vote for boxer. We think of them as brawny today, but early boxers were pretty wimpy looking. I googled images of 19th century boxers and some are with managers who look a lot like these guys. </p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=19th+century+boxers&biw=1920&bih=911&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=SVKnVKqYK8eqNr3PgegH&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=ytyS5uo163pYdM%253A%3BqTRHODOuJfP5UM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252F19thcenturybaltimore.files.wordpress.com%252F2010%252F10%252Frussell_boxer_cabcard.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252F19thcenturybaltimore.wordpress.com%252F2010%252F10%252F03%252Fa-19th-century-baltimore-boxer%252F%3B853%3B1305" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?q=19th+century+boxers&biw=1920&bih=911&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=SVKnVKqYK8eqNr3PgegH&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=ytyS5uo163pYdM%253A%3BqTRHODOuJfP5UM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252F19thcenturybaltimore.files.wordpress.com%252F2010%252F10%252Frussell_boxer_cabcard.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252F19thcenturybaltimore.wordpress.com%252F2010%252F10%252F03%252Fa-19th-century-baltimore-boxer%252F%3B853%3B1305" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=19th+century+boxers&biw=1920&bih=911&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=SVKnVKqYK8eqNr3PgegH&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=ytyS5uo163pYdM%3A;qTRHODOuJfP5UM;http%3A%2F%2F19thcenturybaltimore.files.wordpress.com%2F2010%2F10%2Frussell_boxer_cabcard.jpg;http%3A%2F%2F19thcenturybaltimore.wordpress.com%2F2010%2F10%2F03%2Fa-19th-century-baltimore-boxer%2F;853;1305</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here's a boxer in the same clothing:[ATTACH=full]8703[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
