Mystery Photo: Carl Thiel Cabinet Card

The identity of the woman in this photo is almost certainly lost to history, but on Perfect Duluth Day it’s always worth trying. What we know about this photo is the photography studio it came from and roughly when it was shot.

Research related to a previous mystery photo tells us Carl Thiel had a photography studio in Duluth’s Ingalls Block between 1887 and 1891, so that is the likely date range of this photo.
