MARY BRAMER: SHAPELY WOMAN IN DULUTH, MINNESOTA
A shapely (corseted) young woman poses for her portrait at the Banks Brothers studio in Duluth, Minnesota. It feels a bit uncomfortable calling her shapely, considering she is likely someone’s great great great grandmother. Hopefully, her descendants will accept the Cabinet Card Gallery’s apologies in advance if they should happen to visit this site. The subject is posed behind a short wall and her hat is placed upon the wall. The young woman is named Mary Bramer. Her identity is found written on the reverse of the card. The photographed woman is possibly the Mary Bramer, who was born 11/2/1872 in Minnesota and died 12/7/1959 in Lake County, Minnesota.

PRETTY WOMAN IN TOLEDO, OHIO PHOTOGRAPHED BY FRUGAL PHOTOGRAPHER
This cabinet card is a portrait of a pretty dark haired woman. The photographer is Hill, and the photograph was taken at his studio at 417 Summit Street, in Toledo, Ohio. The photographer formerly operated a studio in Detroit, Michigan. That studio was located at 47 & 49 Monroe Avenue. Hill clearly was a frugal man which is apparent by his using the printed card stock from his Detroit studio at his new location in Toledo. Hill simply crossed out his old address and stamped the front and the reverse of the card with his new studio address. His changes were printed in red.
PRETTY WOMAN IN MIDDLEBURY, VERMONT
An attractive young woman is the subject for this cabinet card photograph from the studio of W. M. Jackson of Middlebury, Vermont. The studio was located on the Cobb Block of Middlebury. The Bulletin of Photography (1916) reports that Mrs. William M. Jackson of Middlebury sold her studio to A. N. Gove and Worthy Needham of Bristol, Vermont. The photographer of this image is likely the very same William M. Jackson; and perhaps Mrs. Jackson sold the studio in 1916m upon her husbands death.
