EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as a lone figure prepares for a day of sporting pursuits with a bottle of Orange sporting powder from Laflin & Rand Powder Co. of New York. Dated around 1873, the image exudes an aura of nostalgia and intrigue. The vibrant orange hue of the powder, carefully poured into a small container, stands out against the muted tones of the surroundings. The man's attire, complete with a tweed jacket, waistcoat, and bowler hat, speaks to the fashionable yet practical sensibilities of the time. His serious expression and focused gaze suggest that he is about to embark on a day of hunting or shooting, a popular pastime among the affluent classes during the late 19th century. Laflin & Rand Powder Co. was a leading manufacturer of various types of powders, including sporting powders, during this period. The company's reputation for producing high-quality, reliable products made it a trusted name among consumers. The orange sporting powder, in particular, was renowned for its effectiveness in providing a powerful and consistent blast. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of leisure and luxury that was once the domain of the wealthy. It is a reminder of a time when the simple pleasures of the outdoors and the thrill of the hunt held great allure, and when a trusted brand like Laflin & Rand Powder Co. was an essential part of the experience.
