Robinson Photographic Studio
Franklin, Nebr
reverse of the cabinet card on the left
So far there were four states that had a Robinson Photographic Studio, New York, Florida, Kansas, Maryland, and one in Ireland. No connection has been made yet to a studio in Franklin, NE.
There were a number of photographers named Robinson in the cabinet card era, mostly on the east coast of the US. Nothing has been found so far to connect any of them to the Robinson Photographic Studio in Franklin, NE, or anyplace in central US.
The identification on this card is by a hand stamp on the reverse not an imprint on the front. This might indicate that the studio was quite temporary. Robinson might have been an itinerant photographer who didn’t have a permanent studio. But this is all speculation.
This addition indicates that there was a photographer named John W Robinson in Franklin, NE.
More research pending.

I have a baby/infant photo that was identified with Robinson, Franklin, NE. There is no name written on the photo. I am trying to identify it. My 2x great-grandmother's sister and husband lived in Sylvan Grove, Kansas, and then moved to Jefferson County , neb. I am thinking it was their first born. According to Ancestry, he was born in Saint Michael, Nebraska. Would it had been plausible that they lived in Franklin, and she had the baby in Saint Michael?
ReplyDeleteSure. Many scenarios come to mind. Example: The mother might have been staying with someone who was a friend and midwife. Or maybe she preferred the hospital in Saint Michael. Just a guess.
