Military & Sports Uniforms
Who doesn't love a man (or woman) in uniform? Almost everybody has worn a uniform sometime in their life - these are the vintage versions of those uniforms. Read more >>
Uniforms are worn by many kinds of people - children and adults - in all kinds of organizations. Police, firefighters, nurses, paramedics, the military, Boy Scouts, Girls Scouts, sports teams, prisoners, school bands, some workplaces . . . even some schoolchildren are required to wear uniforms. In businesses, identical dress is often about branding. In first responders, a uniform is about identifying who is there to provide assistance and often to protect the responder him or herself. For medical personnel, a uniform is protection and guarantees cleanliness. Soldiers' uniforms allow them to easily identify a member of their own and often provide camouflage. A sports team is much like a group of soldiers - a uniform quickly allows them to see a teammate and of course, especially in contact sports like football, provides protection. Prisoners and guards wear different uniforms for obvious reasons - prisoners can't "blend" with guards when they are wearing a colored jumpsuit! And even for schoolchildren, a uniform can be a boon - for parents and children. A uniform is cheaper for a parent than fad clothing and eliminates arguments about what to wear every day. For children, a uniform levels the playing field - "popular kids" aren't those who can afford better clothing.
Almost everyone wears a uniform at some time in their lives - either as a child (Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, school) or an adult (sports, job, or military service). No matter what your opinion about uniforms, these vintage photos of other people wearing a uniform are fun to see. << Read less

A photo of Pierre-Paul Guieysse, (May 11, 1841 – May 19, 1914) who was a French Socialist politician. He was Minister of the Colonies in the French Cabinet headed by Léon Bourgeois between 1895 and 1896. Polytechnician costume.
He was born in Lorient, Brittany, of a Protestant family. He trained as a hydrographic engineer, working for the navy, but developed scholarly and political interests, becoming a specialist in Egyptology (he worked on the book of the Egyptian dead) and being active in leftist politics. In May 1900 he co-founded the newspaper "La Dépêche de Lorient".
He was elected to the Chamber of Deputies as a Radical and Republican Deputy for Morbihan (Brittany, France) between 1890 and 1910. He was active in the debate over the 1905 French law on the Separation of the Churches and the State, to which he proposed an amendment.[1] He was also active in the promotion of legislation to make pension contributions compulsory.
From November 1895 to April 1896 he was Minister of Colonies, in the Bourgeois government.

This photo was found in my father's old barn, with no identifying information other than that the man pictured was the great-uncle of my grandfather, William Harwood, and that he was the captain of a ship. Family rumor has it that my grandfather's grandmother, Sarah Beason, had a brother, a ship's captain, who was lost at sea. The family reportedly came from Gloucestershire, England. I am hoping someone might recognize this photo and help me with this man's identity.
