Some sort of pampas grass/yucca type plant on the right.
Don't worry, it's not actually pampas grass.

Chain’s slack.
Chain's a block chain - inch pitch.
One for Silva from the other place to try.
FTFYI'm sure he'd keep it squeakyclean.
How about a great-great uncle?

I found this mounted but unframed print when clearing out the parents' house a couple of years ago. It was rather faded, battered and bruised but two hours on photoshop brought it back to life.

While zoomed in at pixel level the real artistry of the photographer became apparent. There is a barely noticeable horizontal line underneath Uncle Jack's left hand which I thought at first was a digital artefact from the scanner.

This is actually the rope that was holding him upright. Shutter speeds weren't fast enough in 1894 to freeze a moving cyclist and no one could trackstand that steady. The enlargement shows where the photographer has 'burned' the print where the white rope crosses the dark shadowed parts of the fence. Very fiddly work and if overdone the print is ruined. Overdo it in photoshop you just hit 'esc' and try again.
