UPDATE - This photo has been claimed by Mabel's family and had gone home!
IDENTIFICATION ON PHOTO: "Mabel Seegar"
PHOTO TAKEN: Holzmann, 457 Palisade Ave, J.C.N. , Jersey City NJ, circa 1906
PURCHASED: 2018 August, Glenwood Manor Antiques, Queensbury NY
There was a photographer named Luis Holzmann who had a studio at 362 Palisade Ave, Jersey City during the years 1908-1909. Per the 1900 Census, the studio was located at the 457 address which is shown on the photograph. The Jersey City Directory shows the studio still at 457 in 1905. The clothing worn appears to be circa 1902-1906.So I think we can determine the time period is between 1902 and 1906.
Although the back of the photo bears the identification "Mabel Seegar", I believe this could also be a misspelling of Mabel SEEGER, whom I find living about 35 miles away in Rockland County NY at this time.
I still need to determine whether or not a girl of this age and name might have been living in the Jersey City area at this time.
Still working on this one.
