William H Kibbe
(1846 - 1910)

There is a nice biography of W H Kibbe at Historic Camera which outlines his career. It appears he was located as photographer in the “Kibbe Building” from 1871 to his death in 1910.

It is a light weight card with a single ruled line for a border, no printing on the reverse and simple lettering for the studio identification. This card style was popular around 1884 to 1890. (PhotoTree.com)

There is another fine example and a short biography at Cabinet Card Gallery.

Another example is found at Ancestorville.com

from Wilson's Photographic Magazine - 1910
