This cabinet card portrait features an adorable long haired little girl standing next to her seated doll. The toy doll is sitting in a rocking chair. The girl is wearing a “fancy” dress. The child appears quite content as she poses for her photograph at the Temple studio in Clinton, Iowa. “The 1901 Biographical Record of Clinton County, Iowa, Illustrated” provides some information about the photographer, Gilbert Lawrence Temple. He was born in Ohio. He was schooled in Ohio and was a student at Otterbein University for two years. In 1870 he began his career as a photographer in Beloit, Wisconsin. After two years he sold his business and moved to Cleveland, Ohio where he went to work for J. F. Ryder, a leading photographer in that city. By 1874, Temple was working for the J. H. Reed studio in Clinton. He remained an employee of Reed for 7 years and then opened his own studio (Santee & Temple). In 1884, Temple bought out his partner and became the sole proprietor of the studio. This vintage photograph was found in a photo album belonging to Nellie Frances Pinney (1878-1966). This cabinet card has gold beveled edges. SOLD
