Traveling Art Parlors


The cabinet card mount is labeled "Milam's Imperial Traveling Art Parlors." That's a pretty grandiose name for a railroad car with a skylight, a painted backdrop and a camera. Milam must have had more than one.

I'm intrigued by the tack holes in the upper corners, showing that the photo was pinned up at least twice.
