Women Photographers of the Cabinet Card era - D

These pages are to develop a catalogue of the woman photographers during the Cabinet Card Era (about 1865 to 1900) in America. This is an ongoing project, adding names and examples as they are found. A work always in progress.

The central purpose in these pages is to help place a date on cabinet cards done by various photographers in various places. Here’s hoping you spot a card design or imprint that will help you date and identify that card in your collection.

Note that the examples here are not always cabinet cards, but the aim here is to collect female photographers who worked in the cabinet card era and cabinet card examples might be found.

These pages are for educational and informational purposes only. Any helpful suggestions are welcomed.

Links to additional information will be added when known.

To date, NOTHING has been found about photographer Jones of Great Bend, Kansas.

At the present, it looks like photographer Jones must have been in business only a short time.

But, wait now, there's something very familiar about the wall in that setting.

So, it looks like the "Jones", might have been Mrs W P Jones, once partnered with
Lida Loomiller.

Misses Ocie C Smith and Lida Loomiller were partners with a photograph gallery in Great Bend, Kansas, from about August of 1893 to at least July of 1894. No mention of the partners has been found after that date.

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.
