A DAPPER MORRIS GASTON FACES THE CAMERA

green

The reverse of this photograph is inscribed with the name “Morris Gaston”, presumably the handsome subject of this portrait. Mr Gaston is well dressed and very poised in front of the camera. He is is wearing a pocket watch and holding a magazine or newspaper. The photograph was taken at the Green & Company studio in Berlin. Unfortunately, the logo on the mat of this photograph does not indicate in what locale Berlin is located. Is this image from a studio in Germany or in the United States? There are several US states that have towns named Berlin and there is even a Berlin in Ontario, Canada. I have been unable to uncover the answer to the location riddle. Perhaps a cabinet card gallery visitor can solve the mystery. The cabinet card measures about 4 1/2″ x 6 1/4″ and has terrific clarity.

    The Hoffman Photo Index shows Green & Co. to be in Berlin, Ontario. Can’t find anything sure on Morris Gaston.

    Looks to be by (Anson) Green & Co. of Berlin (now Kitchener), ON – 1896-1900.
