THOMAS G. PORT
Identification on photo: THOMAS G. PORT
Photo taken: Singhi Studio, Binghamton, NY, circa 1885
Purchased: Aug 2017 Madison-Bouckville Antiques Week, New York
I have previously researched photos from Binghamton, which were taken at the Osborn Studio. Emerson Osborn bought out Wellington G. Singhi's business in 1885. Therefore this photo must have been taken about that time, but not later, as it bears the stamp of Singhi.
The very small lapels of the jacket were fashionable from about 1884-1889.
His parents are George Port (1816-1892) and Julia Thomas (1927-1912).
