Dan A. Kelly by Charles Eisenmann
Cabinet Card. Portrait by Charles Eisenmann of the theatrical manager, Dan. A. Kelly. While most of Eisenmann's output was dime museum performers and freaks, and the occasional portrait of famed showmen and showbiz royalty like P.T. Barnum and Buffalo Bill, we see very few photos like this one for paying customers outside that close (but allied) fraternity. In that rare camp is this incongruous image of staid and prosperous looking manager of Baltimore's Front Street Theatre, Dan. A. Kelly.
