A rare and historically significant CDV (carte de visite) studio portrait capturing two young men proudly holding a “Try Company" banner. This intriguing image is believed to be associated with the Young Men Breakfast Association (YMBA) Sunday Morning Breakfast Club (SMB), a temperance and social group connected to Andrew Armstrong Wesleyan Church in Sydney, Australia.

The photograph offers a glimpse into the social movements of the time, particularly the temperance movement, which sought to promote abstinence from alcohol through community gatherings and moral support. The men are dressed in casual attire, with one seated and the other standing, both exuding a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose.

The banner they hold, adorned with the words “Try Company," likely symbolizes the group's encouragement for young men to "try" or commit to a life of temperance and moral integrity. This CDV is not only a rare piece of Australian photographic history but also an important artifact reflecting the social and religious dynamics of the era.
