There were at least 14 possibilities for the Welch that imprinted cards with “Welch’s Lightning Studio”

This cabinet card was found in Hays, KS, but that is no indication of where it was taken. Another example found on the net was taken apparently in Michigan. And of course, there may have been more than one "Welch's Lightning Studio."

A small ad was found for Welch’s Lightning Studio in a Ness City, Kansas newspaper.

If further information surfaces it will be added here.

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.

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.
