1893 cabinet card portrait of Davis Mahan, principal photographer and owner of the David Mahan Artistic Photography Studio in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
This was the man who hired then 17-year-old Charles S. Bryant in 1893 and taught him the business. This photo is from an archive of photos and negatives from Bryant's estate I bought several years ago.
Bryant opened his own studio in 1895 and was still making his living as a storefront photographer as late as 1962.
