Abbott, H.L.

Daguerreian, Warsaw, N.Y., 1852. Abbott apparently operated a traveling wagon, and advertised long experience. He traveled to Warsaw in 1852, and was reported to have taken more than seventy-five daguerreotypes in and around construction of the Portage Bridge on the Genesee River. At the time the bridge was the largest timber trestle in the world. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Abbott, Homer L.

He advertised the "Excelsior Daguerreian Gallery" on Illinois Street over A.A. McKee's store, Rock Island, Ill., 1855-1856. He boarded at the American House. In that year he advertised he was the oldest establishment in the city, and that he was the oldest operator west of Buffalo, N.Y. He offered instruction in the art, and sold equipment. Not listed in subsequent directories. In 1858-1859 he was listed on Wells Street, between Mill and Lynde, Moline, Ill., and lived on Bass Street. In 1860 he was listed at 55 Wells St., between Hill and Lynde Streets. He may have been the daguerreian listed in the Moline statistics for 1856-1857, but who was not identified.

Abbott, J(ordan) H. (J.L.)

Also noted as J.L. Abbott; apparently first noted as a daguerreian in Hamilton, N.Y. (Madison County), in November, 1855. There he was in partnership with S.C. Abbott. J.H. Abbott worked previously as a calligraphy teacher. He continued to be listed in Hamilton in 1859, as J.H. Abbott & Co., although current research cannot document him in the intervening years. He was also listed in Gloversville, N.Y., in 1859. This is probably the same Jordan H. Abbott, listed as a daguerreian in Little Falls, N.Y. in the same year as J.H. Abbott & Co. In June, 1859, Abbott was noted in Hamilton, N.Y. taking senior pictures for Madison University and working out of the gallery of C.D. Atkins, his father-in-law.

Abbott, Sylvester C.

In Hamilton, N.Y. (Madison County), at least by August, 1955, he was noted there as a daguerreian there in November, 1855, in partnership with J.H. Abbott. S.C. Abbott may have remained part of "J.H. Abbott & Co.", but that is currently unclear. Apparently while being based in Hamilton, he advertised daguerreotypes in Waterville, N.Y. (Oneida County) from 1857 to 1859, and was reported operating a gallery in Herkimer County in 1860. A "removal" notice in Hamilton in 1866 indicated he was going to Chicago, but in 1868 he apparently had a gallery in Herkimer County, and worked as a photographer in Little Falls, N.Y. (with his brother William H. Abbott) until 1864, when he migrated to Illinois and later died in Minnesota. There were a number of Abbott brothers (S.C. Abbott, Jacob L. Abbott, Charles E. Abbott, William H. Abbott, and Jerome H. Abbott), all photographers. Information corrected to March, 1998; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Adams, Dan

Reportedly an early daguerreian operator for Brady in New York City, early research attributed the 1845 image of Andrew Jackson at the Hermitage to Adams. It is now believed Edward Anthony probably was the photographer. Adams was listed as a daguerreian and engraver in Nashville, Tenn. from 1855-1861, but one source has placed him in Nashville as early as 1850. From 1855 to 1860 he advertised as both a daguerreian and an engraver at 25 Public Square. Early on, he lived at the City Hotel. In 1860-1861 he advertised only as a daguerreian and ambrotypist at 25 Public Square, over Gowdy's Jewelry Store. The 1850 census listed his age as 40. There is no evidence he was the same "Adams" identified as a daguerreian in Memphis, Tenn. from an imprint on a daguerreian case liner. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S.

Adams, George

Daguerreian, Worcester, Mass., and instructor of A.W. Van Alstin. He may have opened his Worcester gallery about September, 1847. In 1848 he was listed at Central Exchange, and boarded at the Central Hotel. In 1849 and 1850 he was listed at 142 Main Street, and boarded at 118 Main St. In 1851, he was listed in the Waldo Block; and in 1852 and 1853 at Brinley Row. He was not listed in subsequent directories, but another source placed him in Worcester until he sold to William Fitton, c. 1867. He may have continued to live in Worcester until 1878. As a footnote, since his student Van Alstin was first listed as a daguerreian in 1845, Adams must have operated earlier than that elsewhere.

He operated as a daguerreian in various cities in South Carolina in 1855 and 1856. In 1855, in partnership with J.S. Leonard, he visited Laurens, S.C., taking daguerreotypes. Later that year the pair apparently visited the towns of Newberry Court House, Greenwood, and Cokesbury, and arrived in Abbeville in February, 1856. In April, Leonard advertised (alone) that he was leaving for Clinton. Adams was apparently no longer associated with him. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Addis, A(Alfred) Shea

Born in Pittsburgh, Pa., Addis began his photographic career in Lawrence, Kan., in 1855, when he responded to an advertisement placed by T.J. Short. Addis married Short's daughter in early 1856; military persecution spurred the two families to move to Leavenworth, Kan. in 1857. Short and Addis opened a daguerreian gallery there in New Market Hall, at the corner of Delaware and Third Streets. In June, 1858 the gallery building burned. In 1859, Addis was listed with a gallery at 56 Main Street. In 1860, one source listed him at 40 Delaware Street, in partnership as Stephenson (Stevenson) and Addis; another source reported he formed a partnership that year with J.T. Needles. There is one report that placed Addis in Santa Barbara, Calif. in 1856; this now seems improbable. Alfred S. Addis was listed in Los Angeles, Calif. from 1874 to 1878, and by 1880 was in Las Cruces, N.M. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Addis, Robert W.

Active in Lancaster, Pa., Baltimore, Md., and Washington, D.C. He advertised first in Lancaster in May, 1851, at the northeast corner of Centre Square and North Queen Street, over John W. Hubley's store. He noted he had much experience in some of the most extensive establishments in Pennsylvania. How long he remained in Lancaster is unknown. This is probably the same "Addis" noted by one source as a daguerreian in Baltimore, Md., in 1853-1854 with a gallery at the corner of Light and Baltimore Streets. In 1855-1856 Addis was probably employed by J.H. Whitehurst in Baltimore; Addis' son Wellford was born in Maryland sometime in 1856. In November, 1856, Addis advertised his old gallery location in Lancaster, noting John Addis (brother?) was operating the gallery while he (Robert) returned to Baltimore. In 1858-1859 Robert Addis listed his Lancaster gallery at 20-1/2 East King Street, and lived on East Vine Street. By 1860 he was in Washington, D.C., first as a photographer at McClees Gallery, 308 Pennsylvania Ave., and later with his own gallery. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S.

Later that same year, he traveled to Chicago to learn the ambrotype process, and was practicing it in his gallery by January, 1857. A month later, he advertised as the Chicago Ambrotype Gallery in Worthington, the "sister" city of Point Commerce, with rooms over the Andrew & McIntire's store. In April, 1857 he went to Cincinnati and purchased a whole plate camera; sometime in October he apparently temporarily abandoned his business. His next advertisement, in February, 1858, announced the imminent opening of a "portable sky light house"; it was in operation by late April one door north of Langworthy and Blount's store. By July he also advertised instruction in the art, and offered apparatus for sale. By late October he had moved his gallery to Point Commerce.

From 1854 to 1858 he was listed at 244 Broad Street. During part of this time he may have been employed by or in partnership with George W. Prosch, as Prosch was listed at that same address from 1852 to 1856. In June, 1855, Anderson advertised he was "now in rooms formerly occupied by Mr. Prosch." In 1858-1859 he was listed without an occupation, and in 1859-1860 as a photographer at 298 Broad Street, and was living in Orange, N.J.

Anderson, Hugh S.

Daguerreian, 1858 and later; active until 1875 in Eureka, Calif. Born in Scotland in the 1820's, he may have been in Eureka as early as 1853 as a merchant. In October, 1858 he opened daguerreian rooms in Rick's Building, corner of F and Second Streets, opposite the Humboldt Times. By May, 1859, he advertised ambrotypes, pearl ambrotypes, melainotypes, crayon pictures and pictures on leather. He also announced plans to travel during the summer. In June he opened rooms in Hydesville, Calif. for one week. After that he returned to Eureka for just two weeks. In 1860 he was absent from his gallery for the entire summer. In the mid-1860's he worked in a San Francisco gallery for a time, then returned to Eureka. In later years he worked both as a photographer and as a camera manufacturer, active at least until 1890. In his travels from Hydesville, he also operated in Rohnerville, Springville, Ferndale, Bear River and Table Bluff, Calif. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Writing for American Photography in 1915, Anderson recalled he learned the daguerreian process in 1846, at the age of 17, and practiced it for two years. He wrote that he received his instruction from a daguerreian at a temporary studio; this same daguerreian had a studio in Philadelphia, Pa., named the "Sunshine Gallery."

Anderson, Samuel

(1825-) Born in Pennsylvania, Anderson traveled west early in his life, and then south; he was first noted as a daguerreian in New Orleans, La. in 1848.

In 1851, apparently temporarily abandoning his New Orleans operation, he opened a business in Galveston, Texas as Anderson and Blessing (Samuel T.). This partnership continued until 1861, when Anderson apparently left for Europe. During the partnership the firm was alternately known as "Anderson's Ambrotype Gallery"; various business addresses were listed, but the firm settled on Tremont Street in 1856. There is also an indication the firm operated a branch gallery in Houston, c. 1854. This is probably the same S. Anderson reported in that city with a "Daguerrean Car" in December, 1853. One reference indicates Anderson spent two winters in Houston in the mid-1850's.

There exists some further confusion over a listed daguerreian partnership of Anderson and Bickel (W.C.) in Galveston in 1854, 1855. Believed to be Samuel Anderson, the gallery was located at Center and Post Office.

Research would seem to indicate that Anderson was listed alone in Galveston in 1851 and 1853; in partnership with Bickel in 1854 and 1855 (and alone in Houston in 1854), and in partnership as Anderson and Blessing from 1857 to 1860. Although the Anderson/Blessing partnership reportedly existed from 1851, there is no listing for Blessing in Galveston until 1857. From 1856 to 1861, Anderson and Blessing also operated a gallery and stock depot in New Orleans; in 1856 they were listed as the successors to W.W. Washburn at 120 Canal Street. They listed New Orleans as their principal base, with a "branch" in Galveston. In 1857 the firm was listed at 131 Canal Street, and in 1859 they moved the gallery to 61 Camp Street. Another source reported that Anderson sold the Galveston end of the business to John P. Blessing (Samuel's brother) in 1857 and then opened the New Orleans studio. Still another report, which might not be contrary, indicated that upon his return from Europe in 1864, Anderson bought out Samuel Blessing's interest in the New Orleans gallery and stock depot.

There is no record of Anderson in Texas from 1857 until the mid-1880's, when he returned to open a gallery in Houston. He remained there until after the turn of the century.
