Dallas city directories 1875 through 1920 make no mention of a Union Gallery or any photo studio at 1131 Elm Street. It is possible the card was made as a novelty after 1920 but considering the costume of the subject, probably not.
The card itself is light weight, about 6 ply, with rounded corners, straight cut non-beveled edges.
Not the one you were looking for? Here's the photographer's
INDEX by name.
All the Cabinet Card photographers of the 19th
century found in LOST GALLERY are listed there.
This is a work always in progress.
Aditional information and New examples are always welcome. Any
additional information will help narrow the time that these precious
antiques were made.
All submissions should be free of glare and
shadows.
Do not crop.
Leave a border around each card. The edges are
sometimes an important clue to the age of the card.

Interesting - I found this because I also have a photo from a photo studio around this time period of a relative, who died in 1917.
