A cabinet card by photographer Charles W. Bee (1871–1932) from approx. 1895. From Indiana Album:

Lineman George Keifer (1878–1953) of Petersburg poses on a telephone or electric pole for photographer Charles W. Bee. He wears a suit with climbing spikes or gaffs strapped to his legs. He holds a blowtorch. This view looks east from Center Street toward the Palace Lodge, a brick Italianate building constructed as a lodge hall in 1892.

Bee’s name is shown on the bottom of the card in Flirt (ca. 1886). The bold roman caps for “Winslow, Ind” are from a smaller size of Ronaldson Clarendon (1885).
