Gage, Franklin B.

(1824-1874) He learned the daguerreotype process in 1846, and opened a studio in 1850 in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, and operated it until his death in 1874.

In 1856 he advertised the largest establishment in the state of Vermont, and offered daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and mezzotint STATUTYPES. He also offered instruction in the process, and had stock for sale. In 1857, in an advertisement unidentified by name, a daguerreian advertised at #6 Main St., St. Johnsbury. "Incomparably beautiful ambrotypes, photographs and daguerreotypes, taken by the man with the long flowing beard." From a later description of him, this was undoubtedly Gage.

In 1858, he was listed in business over Hall & Higgins store, in partnership as Gage and Rowell. In 1860, he was listed in business as the St. Johnsbury Portrait Gallery, and also offered Gage's stereo views of the White Mountains. He also offered the "Ebonytype".

Humphrey's Journal in 1860 described Gage as being a man of about 35, with black boots, a wide-brimmed hat, hands stained profusely with silver nitrate, and a long flowing beard that came to his waist. In the same year, Gage wrote profusely for Humphrey's Journal of his photographic trips to the White Mountains. He noted he was assisted by an "Anderson" from Pennsylvania. Anderson was described as an amateur photographer who traveled with Gage "for his own amusement" and assisted him.

In 1869 Gage patented a process for using diffused light in the camera. On another occasion, he patented an improvement in camera apparatus. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

The Garrett studio was in a building occupied by other family businesses, and lasted until 1888. He turned the business over to his sons in 1870, and traveled west.

Gates, Leroy

Operated as a riverboat pilot and photographer in Kilbourn City, Wisc. References in a book on H.H. Bennett cite an advertisement for Gates in 1860, when he offered tintypes and "Papyrotypes."

In an 1892 report it was claimed that Dr. Goddard was the first to use bromine as an accelerator in daguerreotypy, in December, 1839, and the first to obtain an instantaneous image by the process. He reportedly assisted Professor Robert Hare in these experiments. Goddard's announcement on bromine was made in January, 1842, before the American Philosophical Society. At the time, he was accused of keeping the process a secret, so that he and Cornelius could financially benefit in their studio. Goddard's daguerreian equipment was reportedly made by Joachim Bishop.

Gorgas, Joseph R.

(1828-1903) (Also noted as John). An itinerant daguerreian, he was noted on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.

Born in Pennsylvania, he reportedly learned the daguerreian process in Pittsburgh, Pa., in 1847. He was reported in Madison, Ind., in 1853, and operated a floating gallery from 1853 to 1856. In 1854 he advertised in Madison at the corner of Main Cross and West Streets, "at the sign of the mammoth set of teeth." His ads ran through January, 1855; then did not appear again until 1859.

Logically, we might assume that the next few years were those spent on his floating gallery. In 1855, Gorgas advertised his floating gallery in Newburgh, Ind. He recalled later that his gallery was 65 feet long, "well appointed, a good cook, with flute, violin, and guitar, had a jolly time, did not need any advertising, and never did any Sunday work."

He recalled his last image was taken in Greenville, Miss., of a cotton gin with men at work.

This is probably the same Gorgas listed as a daguerreian at the corner of Main and Cross Streets in Madison, Ind., in 1859. There he offered daguerreotypes, melainotypes, etc. In 1860 he was listed as an ambrotypist, on Main Cross between Poplar and West Streets, in partnership as Gorgas and Mulvey. Another source did not note the partnership, and listed Gorgas as boarding at Mr. Lowe's.

He recalled his daguerreian career in an article in the St. Louis and Canadian Photographer in July, 1899. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig
