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.

Charles P Homrig

photographer: Homrig and McCutcheon
Art Studio
84 Columbia Street, Lafayette, IN
example from LOST GALLERY
(Note: imprint is very faint,
in gold, slightly embossed lettering)

It is a sad comment on someone’s life when the most informative item found about them is their obituary.

C P Homrig was missing from many city directory listings where he possibly was living. This does not necessarily mean he wasn’t there or was omitted accidently year after year, it just means he was probably living outside the city limits and didn’t rate inclusion in the year’s city directory.

There were only a few city directories available and he was not found in a census for any year although some page by page searches were made.

And the search for the McCutcheon credited in the imprint was inconclusive.

Following is all the information that could be found.
