Thank you to https://cabinetcardgallery.wordpress.com/category/photographer-weston/ for the information on Frank C. Weston, who was a native of Maine and the preferred photographer among the African American community of Bangor. He began his career in photography in the late 1870s and was said to price his services "dictated by a spirit of moderation."
According to Black Bangor: African Americans in a Maine Community, 1880-1950, Weston occupied two floors in Hammond Street's Smith's Block.
The best part of this card is a toss up between the adorable little girl with the mischievous smile and the back of the card bearing the photographer's advertisement with a horse and carriage in the foreground of the building.
Please note the damage to the front of the cabinet card in the way of staining on the card portion and crazing on the photo itself.
Dimensions are 6" x 4.25".
Thank you for looking.
