(1819-?) He apparently learned the daguerreotype process in 1846. From 1849 to 1858 he was listed as a daguerreian on the third story, Devereaux Block, Genesee Street, Utica, N.Y.

In 1850, he visited Washington, D.C. to daguerreotype the members of Congress. Among the results was a fine image of Daniel Webster. In 1850-1851, he advertised as a manufacturer of photographic chemicals; and in 1851 served as president of the Association of Daguerreotypists, which investigated the claims of Levi Hill regarding his natural color daguerreotype process.

According to H.H. Snelling, Davie was responsible for improvements to the daguerreotype, including the plate vice and buffing lathe. With regard to the former, Snelling reported that Davie manufactured a plate vice and was selling it some seven months before W. & W.H. Lewis applied for a patent on a similar item.

In 1851-1852, he advertised in Utica as Davie and Brothers; he was apparently in partnership there with his brothers only for a short time.

Also in 1852 he was listed in partnership with Evans in Utica, and began publication of the Scientific Daguerreian magazine.

Davis, J. (Joseph) D.

Listed as J.D. Davis in New York City, N.Y. in 1850-1851 at 47 Chatham Street. He was not listed in subsequent New York City directories. He is probably the same as "Joseph D. Davis", listed as a daguerreian in Brooklyn, N.Y. from 1851 to 1860. From 1851 to 1854 he was listed at 164 Fulton Street, with various residence addresses. In 1854-1855 he was listed at 182 Fulton Street, and lived at the same address. In 1855-1856 he was listed at 263 Fulton Street; and from 1855 to 1860 at 101 Fulton Street.

Davis, J. Wistar

Listed as a daguerreian, northeast corner of Baltimore and North Streets, Baltimore, Md., 1847-1850. The directory listing in 1849 is confusing as it reads "Davis J. Wistar's Daguerreian Rooms..." There is no listing for a "Wistar" as a daguerreian, so it would be logical (also from the form used in the directory) to assume that his name is J. Wistar Davis. An alternate source noted that in 1847 Davis hired W. Coward as an assistant. P.L. Perkins occupied his gallery in 1850 when Davis closed up his business. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

He was listed in 1846 without an occupation at the same address. From 1846 to 1850 he was listed in the directory as operating alone at the same address. From a card inside a daguerreian case, he was probably in business with J.P. Bridger in 1847; another source noted him in partnership that same year as Lovering (B.) and Davis at 34 Tremont Row. In 1850-1851 he was listed alone at 257 Washington Street, and from 1851 to 1854 as J.J.P. Davis & Co. at the same address. One report indicated he did not open the Washington Street rooms until March, 1852, with Perry (W.A.). Another source erroneously located him at 2 Winter Street in 1860.

Active as a daguerreian in Madison and Charleston, Ind., 1854-1855. Beginning in May, 1854, Dewey advertised in Madison, with a gallery on Main CRoss Street, nearly opposite Basnett's hat store. The ad implied he had been established in the town for a time. In October he was awarded a diploma for the best daguerreotypes at the state agricultural fair; and in November he "returned" from taking daguerreotypes in Charleston. In March, 1855 he placed an ad offering to give $100 to the poor of Madison if 400 daguerreotypes were taken (and paid for at usual rates) in 30 days. It has also been noted that ads for Dewey and another daguerreian, Gorgas, seemed to alternate. This might be a possible avenue for further investigation.
