Wyomingguy Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 This 19th century cabinet card has a Mainz photographer back stamp. I am guessing with the random wear pattern and the unusual headgear that this is fraternal although I could be easily persuaded that it is theatrical. The medals are quite extensive and one does wonder what the backstory is. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyomingguy Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 It is an impressive quantity. I am curious as to the random nature of their placement. I guess I would have arrayed them in nice rows. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
