Some Interesting History HERE

James Francis Ramsey
(22 May 1845 - 3 Mar 1917)

J. F. Ramsey began in photography with S. E. Curtis in the spring of 1864, in New Lisbon, WI. In the fall of that same year he opened his own photo studio. He operated there in New Lisbon, WI, apparently until two days before his death.

He also sold Kimball organs and New Home Sewing Machines and was an agent for the Mutual Life Insurance Co.

Not the one you were looking for? Here's the photographer's INDEX by name. All the Cabinet Card photographers of the 19th century found in LOST GALLERY are listed there.

This is a work always in progress.

Additional information and new examples are always welcome. Any additional information will help narrow the time that these precious antiques were made.

All submissions should be free of glare and shadows.
Do not crop.
Leave a border around each card. The edges are sometimes an important clue to the age of the card.
