    Could anyone tell me roughly when this photo was taken? I believe it's mounted on a cabinet card? Also, I would appreciate if someone could guesstimate the gentleman's age!

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I didn't read the first set of links, but this one indicates that the photographer started his business in 1888, so the photo can't have been printed any earlier than that.

    Oh, and that type of card-mounted photograph would be from fairly early in his career. I'd say no later than the very early 20th century.

    People back then looked older than they would today so it's impossible to tell. Anywhere between 50 and 70.
