Are you sure of the photographer's name? There was a Victor Herman that was listed as a photographer in the Polk directories from about 1886 to 1910 in Calumet but no Merman. Have no idea what became of the Herman photography shop, only wondered about the name. Jack. Marion Markham wrote: > I have a photograph taken at Merman Studio in Calumet, probably around > 1890.

It could be Herman. The first letter is very fancy and, was iindented into the cardboard without any ink to highlight the letters. >Are you sure of the photographer's name?
