Hi gang.
A recent addition to my collection with the content a mystery to me. The photo depicting two Japanese medical orderlies or medical doctors, each with his left arm amputated. The gentleman on the left has sustained some type of facial injury.
There is no caption. This type of photograph is called a ' cabinet card ' and is printed onto a thick cardboard like mount. The reverse of this particular cabinet card has been skinned. That is to say, the reverse has been peeled from the front. Any caption or date that may have been on the reverse is missing.
SO - while I have no idea the back story at all, I wondered if I one of you might be able to identify the photo studio name at the bottom of the cabinet card. I had hoped a photo studio location might be of help figuring out the backstory.
