example from contribtor
George Dabbs and his son, Benjamin Lomax Horsley Dabbs SR and HIS son Benjamin Lomax Dabbs JR were all career photographers.
This card was made by B L H Dabbs SR between 1876 and 1883 when his studio was at 174 Liberty in Pittsburgh, PA.
Also it was called "corner of Liberty and Market" up until about 1880 when the news papers began calling it "174 Liberty" .
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.
Cabinet cards typically have the photographer’s name and address printed on the bottom edge or the reverse of the card. 19th century photographers moved around a lot. The basic idea here is to find WHEN a photographer was WHERE, which will help date an unidentified CABINET CARD from your family album.
This is a work always in progress.
Aditional 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.
