George William Hinkel
(15 Feb 1855 - 24 Jan 1906)
G. W. Hinkel was a photographer in Missouri from about 1885 to his
death in 1906. Though records show he kept a studio in Sedalia from
about 1891, the address changed at least three times. No records found
tell when he might have worked in Warrensburg, MO. One might speculate
that it was around 1885 when he was just becoming established.
Also the light weight stock used for these cabinet cards, with cream
color and single line red rule indicate circa 1880. Warrensburg, MO,
is only about 27 miles from Sedalia, MO, on a railway line.

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.
