Gustave H Meier was a lifelong photographer. He set up shop in Alma, KS. First ads found in the Alma Enterprise newspaper were from 1889.
From the surviving examples one can see he clearly had a style and a sense of humor missing in many of the photographers of the day.
Nothing has been found to show he operated anywhere but Alma, Kansas.
He died in 1941 at age 76.

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.
Cabinet cards typically have the photographer’s name and address printed on the bottom edge or the reverse of the card. 19th century photographers moved around a lot. The basic idea here is to find WHEN a photographer was WHERE, which will help date an unidentified CABINET CARD from your family album.
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.
