[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 68462, member: 33"]Found this blog post with information about the photographer Frank Wendt: [URL]http://dulltooldimbulb.blogspot.com/2009/09/frank-wendt-sideshow-photography-master.html#.VaeuPvnGofg[/URL] I tried linking to the newer blog about only Frank Wendt that was announced at the end of the post, but it took me to a Google login, even when I typed in the address. Apparently Wendt moved the studio to New Jersey from NYC in 1898. Another thing to think about is whether there is any other indication of the date of the photo.
