<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 46824, member: 59&quot;]I suppose that an &quot;actress&quot; of the time might be so memorable and popular that she had a nickname like that, but it sure makes searching difficult.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your photographer, he was much easier to find. Sanford B. Duryea, born in what was then Queens County, Long Island in 1833. Was retired by 1900 (living in Los Angeles) and died in 1903 (back in Brooklyn.) His studio seems to have been at that 253 Fulton Street address for a long time, given directory listings. The last one I found was in the 1890 directory as both a listing and an advertisement - in addition to &quot;Photos and Summer Rates&quot; he also sells &quot;Crayons, Oils and Water-colors.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>So your card would likely be from the 1890&#039;s at the latest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
