Who took it first - Kimbei vs. David Welsh #2
Two years ago I wrote a post discussing the attribution of two photographs to either David Welsh or Kusakabe Kimbei. You can read about it here.
The carte de visite I'm posting today doesn't solve the mystery, but it might push foward research on David Welsh Photography Studio.
There is another cdv taken with the same backdrop:

If you zoom in you can see the lettering "K. Kimbei Photographers," - the same as in the photo posted above.
With that we have four photos taken in the same studio, however the matter of attribution is still unclear.
