Here's another cabinet card that's quite outstanding in it's clarity. (I posted it extra-Large; there may be an insignia on the buttons)

This handsome man is wearing a military uniform that I haven't been able to place. I thought perhaps someone here on NLA might recognize it.
And as you can see, the photography studio is
Blanchard of Los Angeles, Cal
I located two Blanchards that were photographers in the 1897 Los Angeles city directory.
lapl
The first one is Gilbert E. Blanchard, r. 203 S Hill
and the other is James B. Blanchard at Plaza Gallery, 513 N. Main (r. sw cor. of Sunset Boulevard and Lucile)
lol...at first I thought Lucile was his wife, but it's a street.
Out of curiosity I typed "Lucile street, Los Angeles" into Google_Maps.
(but the only result is down in Marina Del Rey)
