This cabinet card captures an actor in costume. He is dressed like a musketeer. Note those long tresses. It is difficult to decipher the photographers name. It may be Oswald Wetti, but that is just a guess. The photographer’s studio was located in Lausanne, Switzerland. Lausanne is a city in French speaking Switzerland. The city lies on the shore of Lake Geneva.

Hi there,
thanks for this reproduction. The name reads Oswald Welti (not Wetti), a typical Swiss name from the German part of Switzerland. But as you write, Lausanne is in the French speaking part. But that’s no big deal.
