According to the account in Lamar County Genealogy, Samuel Lynn opened his first gallery about 1870 in Paris, TX.
He operated as photographer until 1900 when the US censes says he is now a “landlord and capitalist.”
So the cabinet cards here must have been finished between 1870 and 1900; probably closer to 1900 than 1870.
Note: The US 1870 census for Paris, TX, is almost illegible.
