Anyone have any info on Bronner's photography studio in Dodge City? I have this cabinet card copy of a tintype and I am looking for more information.

Thanks!

There was a Prof. George H. Bronner who was a photographer in Dodge City, KS in the late 1880's & early 1890's..He came to Kansas from New York..He moved to TX about March 1895..

Thanks Gay! That was the kind of information I was looking for! It gives me a time frame for when my photograph was made.

Thanks!

You are welcome..Here is the newspaper article I found that should help..

Wow- incredible! Thank you so much! How do you find these things???

I found it on this site that has searchable old newspapers that is free to use..They happened to have the newspapers for Dodge City, KS..
