Photo Number 555

This is a cabinet card that I purchased in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota.

This couple has matching corsages:) We have another dark dress with beautiful trim and a wedding bonnet adorned with trailing leaves and flowers. The groom seems short, or perhaps the bride was tall.  This is a photo from the Flaten brother Gilbert E that worked with his brother Ole over in Moorhead in the early 1880’s.  He moved over to Fargo in 1888.

This is the back of the cabinet card.  Gilbert E Flaten was at 506 Front Street from late 1888 or 1889 and then at 722 Front Street from 1890 to 1893. ( In 1893 to 1895 he was at 67 Broadway).  So I can date this photo 1888 to 1893.  I would think that the brides dress looks more 1893 with the large puffy sleeves.  She is showing off her ring in the photo.

  Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)
