Urlin & Pfeifer Photographers

February 21, 2021February 9, 2021 ~ Tim Jeffers ~ 3 Comments

This photograph was taken by Urlin & Pfeifer’s Photo Palace in Columbus, Ohio . John A. Pfeifer (1859-1932) was active in the Columbus area from 1882 to at least 1913. For much of that time, he was partners with George C. Urlin (1854-1942). Urlin was active in Columbus between 1873 and 1887. The reverse of this cabinet card offers an interesting back stamp that highlights some of the medals the pair received for their photographic work. The latest date noted on these medals is 1887, which reveals that this cabinet card was photographed sometime during or after 1887.
