This handsome portrait of an unidentified individual in dapper western duds was taken by Frank J. Haynes on his Palace Studio car, a mobile photography studio he opened in 1885. This converted Pullman car traveled the Northern Pacific Railroad lines for twenty years between 1885 and 1904, taking photographs across the northern tier of states between the Great Lakes and Puget Sound. However, in 1889 Haynes closed his Fargo studio to open again in Saint Paul, Minnesota, putting the date of this image sometime in that time frame.
