The first two show the same building from different angles. It has just been closed or about to open as we see two framed enlargements in the front window along with a vase and the photographer\u2019s dog looking out the window. The view directly in front shows the best view of the dog which appears to be a bulldog. The third image shows the studio for F. J. Moore MN\u2019G Prov. Photo. Co. This was previously owned by William Miller who had studios around this area. We\u2019re not sure if they were in partnership at this time or if Moore was documenting the history of the transfer of the studio. We love the fact that it\u2019s next to a small cemetery or possibly a funeral home\/stone maker. The former owner had numerous images from the Moore archive and we suspect Moore moved from the previous location to Miller\u2019s old studio. We\u2019ve seen a number of photos of the town and the empty building has that cool open elevated view that would have been perfect for capturing those images. The images are in very good condition with outstanding tones and contrast on the finished studio. There are a few spots as seen. For another example of Moore\u2019s marked work please see the following lot of two dolls.   <strong>$110<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"867\" src=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot60-1024x867.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot60-1024x867.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot60-300x254.jpg 300w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot60-768x650.jpg 768w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot60.jpg 1370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"895\" src=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot60a-1024x895.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot60a-1024x895.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot60a-300x262.jpg 300w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot60a-768x671.jpg 768w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot60a.jpg 1346w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"877\" src=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot60b-1024x877.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot60b-1024x877.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot60b-300x257.jpg 300w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot60b-768x658.jpg 768w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot60b.jpg 1354w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Group of 3 cabinet cards of Middleton CT Splendid group of three cabinet cards, (5 \u00bd\u201d x 6 \u00bd\u201d), of Middletown, CT photographic studios.
