| Across
America, women operated photo studios by themselves and in partnership with their husbands or other women. | ||
 |
The Misses Kirkwood
& Huntley had a studio in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania. |  |
 |  | Mr. & Mrs. G. E. Gould of Holly, Michigan were not only photographers, but also portrait painters and taxidermists. |
 |  |  |
| Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Cady operated a photo studio in Waitsfield, Vermont. Traces of tax revenue stamps on the backs of both CDVs date the photos to the civil war period, from 1864-1866. These doll-like children may have been sisters. | ||
 | The studio of Mr. and Mrs. Graves was "over city bank" in Lockport, New York. Again, the tax revenue stamp dates the photo to between 1864-1866. |  |
