RM2YMP17X–Photograph of an unknown football team (soccer). This is photographed from a photographic picture postcard published by W.H. Duncan of Anlaby Road, Hull, Yorkshire, England. It is fair to assume the photo is of a team in the Yorkshire area, but there are no specific identifiers. Duncan operated from Anlaby Road at least between 1900 and 1919. In my opinion the original photograph dates from around the middle of that period.
