(plural, plural-only) The decade from 1870 to 1879.
Bertha Von Hillern was an amazingly fast speed and endurance walker. In the 1870s, America went crazy, and crowds of thousands gathered to see this "pedestrienne" compete strategically.
2006, Kathryn Parker, Winchester, page 82:Funicular railways take gradients to the extreme, running two cars in counterbalanced, contrary motion over often-perilous cliff inclines. […] Britain's first funicular railways arrived in Scarborough in the 1870s.
2021 January 13, Dr Joseph Brennan, “Spectacular funiculars”, in RAIL, number 922, page 50:Absinthe ads like to trade on artists like Van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec, as if the history of the green fairy began in the Pigalle neighborhood of 1870s Paris, but wormwood-infused drinks have been around for thousands of years.
