A handsome and well dressed young man poses for his portrait at the Haymarket Studio in Chicago, Illinois. The studio was located in the Haymarket Theatre Building. The subject may be an actor from one of the theatre’s productions. The gentleman has an interesting hairstyle and a wonderful mustache. This cabinet card lists the studio that took the photograph, but does not name the photographer. Morrison, was a well known photographer who operated out of the Haymarket Theatre Building and ads advertising the sale of his studio appear in a number of photographic journals of 1900. Perhaps the photographer who created this image was a successor to Morrison. To view photographs by Morrison, click on the category “Photographer: Morrison”.
