Imprint of Fox & Symons, Salt Lake City, Utah. This photo would almost certainly not have been taken in Utah, but the photographer might have borrowed an original negative from another photographer OR simply pirated another image - basically took a photo of another photo and laid it on his own mount - this was commonly done with notable figures.
Cabinet card is 6.5" x 4.25" with blank, clean back, and is in excellent antique condition.
