Trimble of Mt Vernon Missouri

photographer: Trimble
Mt Vernon, MO
example from LOST GALLERY

Robert William Trimble (1841- 1904) and his son Paul Starnes Trimble (1883-1946) were both photographers in the area of Mount Vernon, Missouri. However, neither Trimble has been documented as working in that city at any time. There are a lot of gaps in their biographies so it is still a possibility.

Research is continuing.
From the style and condition of this card, it was probably finished about 1900 or after. It is in good condition, fancy die cut with beveled, gilded edges.
