Research was very confusing for W. D. Kilborn. The records are not always accurate and were often misleading. However, the earliest record found that shows W. D. Kilborn as photographer is in 1894, partnered with W. S. Gilbert.
No other information available about W S Gilbert at this time.
It appears that W. D. Kilborn’s photography career ended about 1909 when he turned to theater management in Stockton, CA.
This cabinet card was finished in that brief period when W. D. Kilborn was partnered with W. S. Gibson in Lincoln, NE, around 1894.
