Chase, Ezra Bailey

(1818-1890) Chase irst advertised as a daguerreian at the Granite House, Exeter, N.H., in the fall of 1841.

The August 3 issue of the Exeter News-Letter carried an extensive ad which related to both John Plumbe Jr. and E.B. Chase. Noting first that Plumbe had succeeded in improving his apparatus, the ad indicated that the "Professor of Photography" proposed to instruct a limited number of persons in the daguerreian process at the building formerly known as the Granite House in Exeter. The final paragraph of the ad noted that Chase, who was associated with Plumbe at the United States Photographic Institute Boston, was prepared to both take images at the Granite House as well as provide instruction in he art, and furnish Plumbe's Patent Improved Apparatus. Chase's ad continued to appear in the newspaper in Exeter through September.

The Boston business directories listed an E.B. Chase as early as 1843, at 75 Court Street (Plumbe's address). He was listed at that address through 1846-1847; in 1848-1849 he was listed at 247 Washington Street. In 1851 he was listed in Lowell, Massachusetts, at 128 Merrimac Street.

Although he may have started as a daguerreian as early as 1840, assisting Joseph Pennell and A.S. Southworth, he was first listed as a daguerreian in Boston, Mass. from 1846 to 1848 over 299 Washington Street. The city directory listed him in 1844-1845 as a mason; another source listed him in a daguerreian partnership from 1844 to 1846 with L.M. Ives. In 1848-1849 he was listed at 257 Washington Street, and from 1849 to 1851 at 247 Washington Street. At that address he may have been in partnership with E.B. Chase. In 1849 he also advertised he had taken 40,000 likenesses. In 1852 he was listed without a business addres, but may have operated over 299 Washington Street again, as Masury and Silsbee advertised that same year they were the only successors to Chase at 299-1/2 Washington Street.

Church, Edwin (c. 1820-?)

Born in New York State, he was first noted as a daguerreian in Troy, N.Y., in 1843; and was probably in partnership with S.L. Walker, at 2 First St., upstairs, offering daguerreotype miniatures. This partnership lasted into 1844.

On January 1, 1846, Church advertised a temporary daguerreian stand on Front Row (Memphis Eagle), Memphis, Tenn. He advertised his previous connection with Walker.

His next appearance was in Louisville, Ken., from 1848 to 1850. There he was listed with a "degorian" office on the south side of Main Street, between Fourth and Fifth Street (apparently the same address as over 449 Main Street). The address, over George Blanchard's furnishing store, and next to the Northern Bank, was advertised as Plumbe's old office. He was noted as boarding at the Louisville Hotel.

When Church vacated the premises, probably sometime in 1850, it was occupied by J.M. Hewett, who had previously been some three blocks away, in partnership with T.J. Dobyns.

In 1851, an ambigious reference indicates that Church sold a gallery in St. Louis, Mo., to T.J. Dobyns. It is not clear whether Church owned the gallery, or whether he just negotiated the sale.

In November of that year, Church probably went to New York City as a daguerreian, working for M.M. Lawrence. He may have been with Lawrence until sometime in 1853. In October, 1853, Church was listed as a daguerreian operator in the Memphis, Tenn., gallery of T.J. Dobyns; in November, he was listed at the Nashville gallery of Dobyns. In January, 1854 he continued to be listed at the Nashville gallery. [Note: one report seems to indicate Church may have worked with Lawrence prior to 1848, but there is no evidence to support this].

The brother of John M. Clark, a daguerreian who appeared first in Rochester, N.Y., in 1845-1846, the pair operated a gallery in Utica, N.Y., as Clark Brothers in 1847-1848. The gallery was listed at 88 Genesee Street, or alternately as the Law Buildings or the Franklin Building, third story.

In the same year, the brothers were reportedly operating a daguerreian gallery on Tremont Row, Boston, Mass.

From 1848 to 1854 Clark Bros. were listed as daguerreians in Utica at 128 Genesee St., third story. They also offered instruction and stock for sale.

Also during this period, in 1850, the brothers opened a gallery in New York City, and were listed as daguerreians in Salina, N.Y., in 1850-1851. The Utica gallery in the same year was listed alternately as "J.M. Clark & Bros." Another source reports a listing for the firm of Clark Brothers and B.L. Higgins in 1850-1851 on Tremont Row, Boston, Mass.

Frederick J. Clark was listed alone in New York City as a daguerreian in 1850-1851, with a gallery at 551 Broadway. He listed his residence as Utica.

In 1851 there was also a Clark noted with daguerreotype rooms in Ithaca, N.Y.; this was probably one or both of the Clark Brothers. The gallery there was listed at 37 Oswego Street, as a partnership of Lawler (Lawyer) and Clark. There is also a reference which would indicate the brothers also operated rooms in Syracuse during the same period, as B.L. Higgins occupied their rooms in that city in 1851-1852. In 1854, the Clark Brothers Syracuse gallery was reportedly purchased by George N. Barnard.

Sometime prior to December, 1853, at their Utica gallery, the Clark Brothers apparently trained and employed Andrew H. Dudley as a daguerreian. From January to October, 1855, Dudley advertised in Clinton, N.Y. as the operator of a branch daguerreian gallery for the Clarks.

Clark & Brother were listed as daguerreians in New York City from 1851 to 1853, with J.M. Clark listed at 551 Broadway; he lived at the same address. This was the last listing for the firm in the city. On October 1, 1851, an advertisement offered to lease the Clark Brothers New York City rooms for a period of 12 to 18 months.

In March, 1852, the firm's rooms in Ithaca, N.Y., were burned out. This report, emphasizing the Clark Brothers involvement in the gallery, would lend credence to their predominance in partnership with Lawyer noted above.

There are no further references to Frederick Clark in either Ithaca or Syracuse; in 1854-1855 the brothers were listed with their daguerreian rooms in Utica, over 171 Genesee Street. This was the last listing in the Utica city directories for the firm.

Notes: a whole plate daguerreotype of a Gothic cottage, with a lady, two or three boys and a dog on the steps was stolen from the Clark Brothers gallery, date and location unknown. Information corrected to December, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Clark, George W.

Also spelled Clarke; ambrotypes, Boston, Mass., 1859-1860. In 1859 he was listed at 199 Hanover Street, and boarded at 1 Milton Street. He was listed in partnership as Clarke and Trott (A.P.). The mercantile index showed a G.W. Clark listed alone at 230 Commercial Street the same year. In 1860 he was also listed at the same address in the individual directory. His residence then was listed as Malden. Possibly two different photographers, but probably the same. There was also a listing at the same address for a George F. Clark.

Clark, Henry H.

Born in Connecticut in 1815, Clark was listed as a daguerreian in Baltimore, Md. from 1851 to 1859. From 1851 to 1854 he was listed without a business address, and lived at 60 East Lombard Street. From 1855 to 1857 he was listed on Baltimore Street, with the same residence. From 1858 to 1860 he was listed as an ambrotypist at 23 North Baltimore Street. A series of whole plate daguerreotypes of Baltimore, some of which form a crude panorama, and attributed to Clark, are in the Peale Museum.

In 1844 he was a daguerreian at 247 Broadway, in the firm of Anthony, Edwards & Co., or Anthony, Edwards & Chilton, or Anthony, Edwards and Clark, or the National Miniature Daguerreian Gallery. In 1846-1847 he was listed in the partnership of Anthony, Clark & Co., at the same address. The partnership ended in 1847, and Clark took charge of the National Miniature Gallery. He died in 1848.

Clark, John M.

He first appeared as a daguerreian at 16 Buffalo Street, fourth floor, Rochester, N.Y., in 1845-1846. His residence was listed at 16 Lancaster St. He was not listed in subsequent Rochester directories.

In 1847-1848, Frederick J. and J.M. Clark were listed as daguerreians as Clark & Brother at 88 Genesee St., Utica, N.Y. Alternately the address was noted as the Law Buildings or the Franklin Building, third story. In the same year, the pair were reportedly in business as Clark Brothers. on Tremont Row, Boston, Mass.

From 1848 to 1854, Clark Brothers were listed as daguerreians at 128 Genesee St., third story, Utica, N.Y. They also offered instruction and stock for sale.

In 1850, the pair opened a New York City gallery. In 1850-1851 the firm was listed alternately in Utica as either F.J. Clark & Brother, or J.M. Clark & Brother.

Another source reports the mention of the daguerreian firm of Clark Brothers and B.L. Higgins on Tremont Row, Boston, Mass., in 1850-1851.

In the same year, J.M. Clark & Brother was also listed as daguerreians in Salina, N.Y. In the same year, J.M. Clark & Brother was also listed as daguerreians in Syracuse, N.Y., upstairs at 6 Franklin Buildings, Genesee Street.

One of the brothers, probably John M., is in all liklihood the "Clark" noted with daguerreotype rooms in Ithaca, N.Y., in 1851. This gallery, operated in partnership as Lawler (Lawyer) and Clark, was located at 37 Oswego Street.

In 1851-1852 it was noted that the Clark Brothers' rooms in Syracuse were occupied by B.L. Higgins. In 1854, the Clark Brothers Syracuse gallery was reportedly purchased by George N. Barnard, when he moved from Oswego, N.Y.

Sometime prior to December, 1853, at their Utica gallery, the Clark Brothers apparently trained and employed Andrew H. Dudley as a daguerreian. From January to October, 1855, Dudley advertised in Clinton, N.Y. as the operator of a branch daguerreian gallery for the Clarks.

From 1851 to 1853, J.M. Clark was listed as a daguerreian at 551 Broadway, New York City, in business as Clark & Brother. His residence was listed at the same address. This is the last listing for the firm in New York City. On October 1, 1851, an advertisement offered to let the firm's rooms for a period of 12 to 18 months.

In March, 1852, the gallery in Ithaca, N.Y. was burned out.

In 1853, J.M. Clark announced he had returned from his gallery in New York City, and took over the rooms at the Franklin Building, over William E. Abbott & Co.'s store, in Syracuse. This was the last yearly listing for the firm. In January, 1854, G.N. Barnard acquired the firm's gallery in Syracuse.

In 1854-1855, F.J. and J.M. Clark were listed in business as Clark Brothers, over 171 Genesee St., Utica. This was the last listing in the Utica directories.

This was probably the same J.M. Clark listed as a daguerreian in Elmira, N.Y. in 1859, and the same J.M. Clark listed as a daguerreian in Rushford, N.Y., in 1859.

It is also probable he was also the John M. Clarke listed as a photographer in Elmira, N.Y. in 1860. There his gallery was located at the corner of Lake and Carroll Streets, and he lived on Columbia near Lake. The mercantile index notes him as a daguerreian.

Notes: a whole plate daguerreotype of a Gothic cottage, with a lady, two or three boys and a dog on the steps was stolen from the Clark Brothers gallery, date and location unknown. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Clark, Peter G.

Listed as a daguerreian in San Francisco, Calif. In 1852-1853 he was listed at the "Eureka Daguerreian Rooms" at 138 Montgomery Street. The rooms were advertised as of September, 1852, over the Blue Wing. He was not listed in the subsequent, 1854, directory. This is probably the same Clark in partnership as Clark and Smith (C.J.) on the southeast corner of Clay and Kearny Streets in 1859-1860. Another source noted he may have been in partnership with J.W. Johnston from 1858 to 1862 but further research places the Clark/Johnston partnership no earlier than 1861.

On January 25, 1849 he advertised that the firm had removed to Watson's new building at 78 Superior Street. He then advertised as Clark and Matthews"late of New York" (City?).
