The Moblo studio operated in Traverse City between about 1893 and 1913.

Update; Elizabeth Kingman sent me an email in December 2022: "I am a great granddaughter of Edward N. Moblo from Traverse City.

When I google his name every once in a while, I happen upon your blog sometimes.

Today, I found you again.

Thanks for posting his photos and your info.

The photo that you posted on May 18, 2018, is of Edward (Napoleon) Moblo’s uncle, Gilbert Moblo, and second wife, Margaret and their daughter Maggie May (also sometimes called Ida May). I have an older cabinet photo of the three of them.

Thanks for sharing your finds!"
