Harry Dorr Webster is probably the photographer for these cabinet cards. Little was found on him but he can be documented as living in Cripple Creek, CO, Greeley, CO, Burley, Id, and Laramie WY. In Greeley, CO, Webster was a photographer and florist.

His longest stay apparently, was at 132 North Third, in Cripple Creek, CO, from 1900 to 1905.

The cabinet card at the left was probably finished around 1889 after their move to Laramie, WY.

Here is a note from a researcher in Colorado:

"While working on Harry Dorr Webster, I noticed that the cabinet card at the bottom of the post that is credited to Webster in Beaver, NE. This is by Alfred Francis Webster (1868-1943), no relation to H. D. Webster."

Thanks for the input!
