Cadwallader, John Dallas

(1828-1905) Also spelled Cadwaller; born in either Mahoning or Newcastle, Pa., probably in 1828, may have operated first as an ambrotypist in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1857 or 1858. One source indicated he lived in Cincinnati, but left there in 1857 to move to Maysville, Ken., where he operated a gallery for three years, then moved to Marietta, Ohio for six years.

In Cincinnati, in 1858, he was listed without a business address, and lived at 264 Elm Street. In 1860-1861, in Marietta, he was listed with a "gallery of art", taking photographs, ambrotypes and melainotypes. He was located over the bank, in partnerhip as Cadwallader and Tappen (S.C.). He lived on the west side of Second Street.

Probably the same as "O. Cadwallider", listed in 1859-1860 in McComb, Ohio as a daguerreian and ambrotypist. In 1866, he apparently moved to Detroit, Mich. and opened a gallery with his brother.

In 1868 he returned to Marietta, where he operated as a photographer until 1887. In 1887, it was noted that a new partnership of Cadwallader and Swisher had been formed; and in his gallery in Parkersburg, W.V., Cadwallader took on a Mr. Moulton as a partner. In December of the same year, it was reported that Cadwallader sold out his Marietta operation, after 28 years, to Bacon and King, former employees.

Probably the same William Campbell listed as a daguerreian, ambrotypist and photographer in Kansas City, Mo., in 1859-1860. There he was listed on Main Street at the corner of Third Street, upstairs. The individual listing noted him as a daguerreian; his own display ad did not mention daguerreotypes, and noted the entrance of the gallery was on Third Street or through the store of G.B. Thomas.

Listed as a daguerreian in Maine; Boston, Mass.; and Salt Lake City, Utah.

He was listed in Boston from 1843 to 1851, variously as a photographic artist, artist, and daguerreotype artist. From 1843 to 1849 he was listed without a business address, but reportedly worked in John Plumbe's gallery, and continued to operate it with William Shew after the Plumbe chain was dissolved.

Carbutt, John

(1832-) Born in England, Carbutt apparently emigrated to the United States in 1853. It has been assumed by historians that Carbutt was a photographer in England prior to coming to the United States.

During the period 1853 to 1859, he may have worked as a photographer in Canada during construction of the Grand Trunk Railway. From 1859 to 1861 he was listed with the "Cosmopolitan Gallery" in Plymouth, Ind. He advertised photographs, ambrotypes, melainotypes, and as a "stereographic artist".

In 1860-1861 he was listed at the corner of Michigan and Gano Streets. Possibly the same as "G.J. Carbutt", identified by Humphrey's Journal as operating in 1858 in an unidentified location.

Carbutt later recalled utilizing a blue diaphragm in his camera lens in 1858 or 1859, while working at a gallery in an interior town in Indiana. In 1861 Carbutt was listed in Chicago, Ill., at 131 Lake Street. This same gallery had been established in 1847 by A.G. Miller, and Carbutt was the fifth photographer in the location. He was reported to have been the first photographer in the city to take cartes-de-visite, and in 1862 traveled back to England for a few months with an album of his work. He introduced his own version of a portable dark tent for photographers in 1864, and made modifications in existing solar cameras as well. He was an active stereo photographer; highlights include the Chicago fire, views on the Union Pacific Railroad, and a series in the Black Hills.

He experimented with dry plates in his Chicago studio as early as 1864, and with magnesium light for flash in 1865. He ultimately introduced the first successful Gelatin-Bromide Dry Plates in 1879; the first Orthochromatic Dry Plates in 1886; first Celluloid Dry plates in 1888; and the first commercial X-Ray plates in 1896. He died in Philadelphia, Pa., in 1905.

Carvalho, Solomon Nunes

(1815-1889) Born in Charleston, S.C., Solomon Nunes Carvalho learned the daguerreotype process sometime between 1845 and 1850. He was first listed as a daguerreian in 1850 in both Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, Md. In Washington he advertised his gallery of "Ivory and other Daguerreotypes" at the Odeon, corner of 4-1/2 Street and Pennsylvania Avenue.

Calvalho announced the opening of his Baltimore Gallery in July, 1849 at 205 Baltimore Street, formerly the location of John Plumbe, Jr. Late in 1850 he moved his business to Washington. In 1851 he advertised in Baltimore as a daguerreian and portrait painter. In 1850 or 1851, he also opened a gallery in Charleston, S.C., at 230 King Street.

In 1852 he listed himself at the "Grand Sky-Light Daguerreian Gallery" in Charleston, at 167 Meeting Street. There he featured the "new style Ivory Daguerreotypes." During 1852 and 1853 he served as photographer on the Fremont expedition to the Western territories. He practiced the daguerreotype while another photographer, Bomar, utilized paper photography. Carvalho was known to have taken daguerreotypes in the Westport, Kansas, area. In 1853 he was noted as the first photographer in Colorado.

In 1853, Carvalho also invented a process for the transparent enamelling of daguerreotypes; it was this year he was also employed by Jeremiah Gurney in New York City, N.Y. to utilize this process.

In 1854 he was listed as daguerreian in partnership as Carvalho and Johnson in Los Angeles, Calif.

In 1856-1857 he was listed once again in the Baltimore directory as an artist, with his residence at 35 S. High St. In 1858-1859 he was listed there with his residence at 81 Liberty Street; and in 1860 he was listed at 92 Saratoga Street.

Cary, Preston M.

He first appeared as a daguerreian in Hartford, Conn., in 1845, in partnership as Cary and Sage (H.R.), under Union Hall. Cary was noted as boarding at the American Hotel. His first ad in business directory reads "pictures of any kind taken in any kind of weather. Instructions given in the art...and all kinds of daguerreotype apparatus and materials furnished at short notice."

In 1846 he was listed as a daguerreian at 146 Main St., Hartford, in partnership as Cary and Stancliff (J.W.). An alternate source listed him at 158 Main St., over Olmstead & Co. Another source placed him in partnership as Broadbent (S.) and Cary in Hartford at this time. There is no listing for the partnership, although Broadbent was listed in Hartford in this year as an "artist", without a business address, and the pair subsequently operated in partnership elsewhere.

In January, 1847, Cary was noted as a daguerreian at (T.T.) Wilmot's studio, with Samuel Broadbent, in Savannah, Ga. This may be the same time as the "winter of 1848", when this partnership is substantiated by another source.

In February, 1848, Cary advertised as a daguerreian in Macon, Ga. In May of that year he advertised in Athens, Ga., and in 1849-1850 he was listed as a daguerreian in Baltimore, Md., again in partnership as Broadbent and Cary.

In 1850, between February and June, he opened and closed a gallery at Bryan Street and Market Square, Savannah, Ga. In July, 1850, he opened a gallery in New York City, at 187 Broadway. He closed that gallery in January, 1851.

In 1851 he was listed as a daguerreian in Charleston, S.C., as well as in Savannah, Georgia, in partnership as Perkins (J.W.) and Cary, at the corner of Bryan Street and Market Square.

He spent the summer of 1852 in Bridgeport, Conn. Whether or not he operated as a daguerreian there is unknown.

In 1853, Cary reportedly bought a daguerreian establishment in New York City; he left Perkins in charge of the Savannah gallery. The same source noted that Cary was formerly of Broadbent and Cary of Hartford, Conn.

In December, 1854, it was noted in Humphrey's Journal that Cary and Perkins had just opened rooms in Macon, Georgia, in conjunction with their old rooms, and that Cary had just left New York City to spend the winter in Savannah.

In 1854-1855, Cary was listed as a daguerreian at 407 Broadway, New York City, in partnership as Cary and Perkins (A.J.) [I believe this is a directory error, and should be J.W. Perkins]. Cary was not listed in the individual directory. In 1856 he was listed in partnership with B.F Powelson (Powelson may have previously been in Buffalo, N.Y.)

From 1858 to 1860, Cary was noted in Savannah, Ga. In 1858 he was listed as the proprietor of a daguerreotype gallery at 1 Market Square, upstairs. In 1859 he was listed as a daguerreian at 159 Broughton Street, in partnership with Malambre, an artist; and White, a photographer. In 1860 he was listed as a daguerreian at 147 Congress St., Savannah, and boarded at the Marshall House. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig
