Can't help with this person, but the paragraph below is one I wrote about the photographer Edward Klauber in my capacity as photography editor of ThecEncyclopedia of Louisville (See Google Books.) Other actor/actress portraits by Klauber are housed in the collections of the University of Louisville's Photographic Archives. It is said that many actors preferred Klauber's work and always had portraits made by him when their touring productions came to Louisville.

The last of the major studios established in the 1850’s was owned by Edward Klauber. Klauber was a native of Bohemia who came to the United States at the age of 18. His Main Street Studio has been compared to that of Matthew Brady in New York. Lavishly furnished, it was popular with stage personalities WHO APPEARED AT MACAULEY’S THEATER, many of whom WERE said to have preferred Klauber’s portraits to all others. Several excellent Klauber portraits of the actress Mary Anderson (see entry) are owned by the University of Louisville Photographic Archives. The Filson Club has many examples of Klauber’s documentary photographs of bridges, locks and dams. Klauber also did documentary work for the Kentucky Geological Survey and he made the portraits of prominent Louisvillians which appeared in Louisville Past and Present (M. Joblin Co. Louisville, printed by John P. Morton, 1875.) The studio continued in business until about 1913. Klauber died in 1916 and is buried in the Temple Cemetery.
