Two different men, same studio set
What it is:
Two cabinet cards, each measuring 4.25 x 6.5 inches.
What I know about it:
Photographer for both photos is Smith of Indiana, Pennsylvania. Otherwise undated and unidentified.
Comments:
Although I purchased these from the same dealer, I have no idea if these two men have any connection beyond the fact that they went to the same photographer. In any case, it was felt that the same tasseled divan and painted backdrop would be the appropriate setting for each (assuming, of course, that there were other options available), so it is interesting to compare and contrast the resulting photos.

I love these old photos. And to get two from the same studio set up. Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
