<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 339696, member: 33&quot;]I love the Cabinet Card Gallery site... but in this case, it&#039;s interesting because there are a couple of things that could have been mentioned or improved. The Wright photo that Billy presents appears to be a carte de visite from the 1870s or early 1880s. So although the CC Gallery author found the photographer in those city directories from 1890-1907, he was obviously there before that. Also, it&#039;s mentioned that the photographer address in the city directory says he was at 24 Santa Clara St. instead of 284, implying that the 24 was the correct address. But all three photos show the address on the card as 284 Santa Clara. It is more likely that the city directories were incorrect.</p><p><br /></p><p>This page has a photo on it that indicates that it was taken by photographer Wilbur Wright (not the famous aviator!) in 1875 while the subject was awaiting execution&nbsp; (near the bottom of the page):</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://truewestmagazine.com/a-bandidos-california-colt/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://truewestmagazine.com/a-bandidos-california-colt/" rel="nofollow">https://truewestmagazine.com/a-bandidos-california-colt/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>None of the people in the photos looks at all familiar to me. With no names written on the photos, the chances of identification are slimmer than slim.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
