We do not yet have a lot of information on bold pattern suits during the 1870s, although admittedly this was not something we have been looking for until recently. The increasing popularity of cabinet cards with a larger image provide us more detail which help to pick up patterns. As best as we can tell, bold patterns were much less common than at mid-century. This was a trend that was pronounced in the 1860s and we contuinue to see it in the 1870s, but we do see quite a number of patterned suits, some of them with bold patterns. We are not yet sure about age and suit type differences.
