Thanks Mark and Brian

Notman for NOT ART, how fitting!

Found this, but it's way too expensive for what it is, https://www.historicalemporium.com/store/outfits.php?category=Mens%20Outfits&theme=Victorian&&style=Middle%20Class

I see I already have the clothing, haircut, mustache is in progress, do need a bigger vest and puffy white shirt. Got hats!

I do like that tripod on wheels, I can convert things I have, but not those wheels, nor will I not ride a Penny Farthing. My bike trailer can be camouflaged and towed by my ebike.
