Herman M Vaupel didn’t move around often. Here is a list of addresses where he worked as photographer, and the dates.

989 Third Street - from 1883 to 1899
734 Lexington Av - from 1902, 1903

After that he seems to drop out of the photography business. Herman Vaupel tries some other professions such as “cigar maker” and “billiard parlor” but the 1930 US census shows him again as photographer. Also his son Arthur is listed as photographer in the 1905 New York State census.

this is not a cabinet card but has historical significance

(Written in ink at top: Margaritta Vaupel;
written on lable: Lena Battler Vaupel)

This gilt edged card is 6.5 x 8.5 inches which means in is not a standard cabinet card but a specialty size.

The contributor dates the card at 1889.

The deges are beveled and gilded. The gold does not show up well here.

Just below is the actual Vaupel studio camera.
