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.
Email to the address found in the profile at the bottom of this page.

Documents show that Dillhoff had a studio at 1365 Broadway from 1902 to 1913. It was perhaps a bit longer but there are no records to support it so far.

Information from contributor D Guggisberg:
The page you have on Eugene Dillhoff showing an example of a Native American, the identity of that man is:
Name: William Sitting Bull (ca. 1878-1909)
Native Name: Runs-away-from-him/Nakicipa
remark: only surviving son of Chief Sitting Bull, Lakota leader

William Sitting Bull was a performer with Frederick Cummins' Indian Congress in 1902 when that photograph was taken.

Very little was found about the life of William G Dexter except that his stay in Fort Wayne, IN, was short, apparently just over a year. This cabinet card appears to have been made in that brief period that C. W. Miner was partnered with William G. Dexter, in 1894-1895.

George Robert Gamble

Photographer
Gamble,
21 Main Street, Champaign, Ill

George Robert Gamble
(Mar 1845 - 29 Nov 1928)
The available records are a bit sketchy for this photographer. Documents seem to indicate more than one George Gamble is involved because he appears to have moved around a lot and was married at least three times. But the records indicate a George R. Gamble working seven years as a photographer in Champaign, IL, and that seems fairly accurate.

The 1870 US Census lists George Gamble as a Farmer living in Limestone, Kankakee, Illinois
The 1880 US Census lists no occupation and living in Center, Indiana.
Documentation shows that from 1883 to 1900 he is listed as photographer in Champaign, IL.
In 1911 he is in San Diego as photographer until his death in 1928

At first it seemed that there might have been at least three men named George R. Gamble. But then some unusual ties began to develop.
