    Is it possible to see more of August Werner’s pictures somewhere? Any lead will be appreciated.

      There are nine cabinet card photographs from August Werner’s studio that can be found on eBay. I was unable to find any of his other images online. You might try contacting the Brooklyn historical society and see if they have any of his photographs in their collection. Is August Werner an ancestor of yours? Is he a subject of your academic research? I hope I’m not being intrusive by asking. If you have any information to share about him, it would be terrific if you could share it in a reply.
