Cain's art studio Dayton, Ohio
« on: Saturday 21 May 22 12:16 BST (UK) »
Good morning,
I would like to find the active dates for a photographer called Cain's Art Studio in Dayton Ohio?
The address on the frame - NE corner of 5th and Main Sts. Dayton O.
I believe this photo was taken there in the late 19th century.

Thank you

It has some damage which the restorers could easily repair ... would you like them to have a go?

For example , a small edition.

I thank you, Japflakes for cleaning it up, and looking up photographers. He looks much better. Yes that's the photographer I'm looking for. Clinton Cain.
Since posting this question I did more research and found him in the 1900 census living in Springfield, OH. which is about 30 miles from Dayton. He isn't listed in the Dayton City Directory until 1906.
Meaning this photo, IF it is still inside it's original frame, was taken after 1905? The photo was unlabeled and the sitter's identity uncertain. The date the photo was taken was necessary to narrow down my search for his identity.
Also since posting this question, I have stumbled onto another copy of the same photo on Ancestry, attached to a different man than I suspected him to be, in a different branch of ancestors. There is no details given, just the photo attached to a profile. Messaged to person who shared it - but no reply yet.
Thanks again for the help.
