Libolt, Adam

His wife did the miniatures. In December, 1843 he was in Charleston, S.C., and returned there again in November, 1844. In March, 1845 he advertised again in Columbia, S.C.

Spelling Variant, See Lyons Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Lion, Jules

Also spelled Lyons; a black daguerreian and portrait painter. He is credited as being the first daguerreian in New Orleans, La., and was listed there, as a painter, as early as 1837. Born in Paris c. 1816, Lion exhibited daguerreotypes in New Orleans in March, 1840. He may have been assisted in his early experiments by his brother Achille, a dentist. His studio was originally at 106 Royal Street. In December, 1842 he moved to 44 Royal Street. In 1843 he experimented with hand-coloring daguerreotypes, and opened a new gallery at 3 Charles Street. In 1844 he gave up most photography, returning to painting and lithography, at 44 Royal Street. In 1848 he opened an art school on Exchange Street, and may have taken an occasional daguerreotype. By 1865 he was professor of drawing at Louisiana College. He died in 1866. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Litch, Albert

A daguerreian and a camera manufacturer, he was first recorded in Boston, Mass., from 1845 to 1847. There he was listed as daguerreotypes, 96 Washington Street, in partnership with John Whipple. He lived in Roxbury. One source noted the firm known as Litch, Whipple and Co.

In 1846 he advertised taking the largest portraits in the United States; life size, with from two to 50 people on the same plate. Southworth and Hawes countered with an ad stating they used the largest plates, and warned customers not to be misled into thinking a life-size full-length portrait could be had. From 1846 to 1848, one source noted a daguerreian partnership of Litch, Whipple and Cannon, but this is unsupported by directory listings. From 1845 to 1847, Litch was listed in partnership as Litch and Whipple (J.A.) at 96 Washington Street, Boston. If there was a "Cannon" involved in the partnership, it would probably have been Marsena Cannon, who was listed in those years without a business address. Litch was not listed in Boston directories in 1847-1848.

In 1850-1851 Litch was listed as a daguerreian at 23 and 24 Phoenix Building, New Haven, Conn., in partnership as Moulthrop (M.) and Litch. His residence was listed as boarding at 176 George Street. In 1851 he was listed as a daguerreian artist in Waterbury, Conn., in partnership as Litch and Granniss. This is probably the same Litch noted as working as a salesman at Scovill's store, New York City, at some point in 1851.

In 1852, Litch was reported by one source as being in partnership with Jeremiah Gurney in New York City, although the city partnership directory does not support that claim.

In March, 1853 Humphrey's Journal reported that Litch was traveling in Europe, and was about to open daguerreian rooms in Liverpool or London with Terry. Litch returned to New York in June. Upon his return, Litch was reported to have worked for Scovill, and then for Holmes, Booth and Haydens late in this year.

In February, 1854, it was announced in Humphrey's Journal that Litch was "now making cameras". In August, the magazine announced that Holmes, Booth and Haydens had taken over Litch's cameras. The implication is that they would now be called Holmes, Booth & Haydens cameras, but would have Litch's name on them. Two months later, the Journal reported that Litch was no longer with Holmes, Booth and Hayden's, and that his name would no longer appear on their cameras. He was reported to have joined with O.H. Cooley in Springfield, Mass. as a daguerreian, but there is no evidence to prove this. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

In 1860 he was listed in partnership as Loomis and Shepard (J.).

In March, 1873, Loomis ran two ads in the Philadelphia Photographer attempting to dispose of his gallery. The first read: "I am admonished by continued ill health that I must dispose of my business, and now for the first time publicly invite the attention of photographers to the investment, which I propose to make worthy the attention of such as desire a first-class establishment, at a moderate price. The gallery is located on one of the best thoroughfares in the city, is fully equipped in every department, produces excellent work and commands dorresponding prices. By careful management and close attention I have built up a remunerative business which is steadily increasing, and nothing but stern nevessity could induce me to pass it into other hands. I must, however, surrender, and if need be, at a large pecuniary sacrifice. A better opportunity seldom occurs, and I most earnestly invite the attention of such as are out of business, or contemplate a change, to investigate this offer. For particulars, terms &c, address G.H. Loomis, 7 Tremont Row, Boston."

The second ad, appearing later in the same issue, read: "Not having as yet found a purchaser for my gallery, elsewhere advertised, I desire to renew the offer upon terms which will insure its sale within a very short time, provided, however, there is any one among the fraternity in pursuit of a splendid business opportunity. Failing to sell within the next sixty days, I will lease it for one, two or three years with privilege of purchase, as my health will no longer permit me to remain in business. I can make terms easy to responsible parties, and from such only do I invite correspondence. I have prepared a descriptive ciruclar, which I will send on application."

One source reported he then spent four years as a daguerreian in Brattleboro, Vermont, before traveling to Boston in 1854 to learn the latest advancements in the process from Whipple (J.A.) and Black (J.W.). Directories, however, listed Lovell in Brattleboro from 1853 to 1856. In 1853 he was listed in partnership with J.D. Wells. This is also probably the same as J.J. Lovell, listed in Cutler's Block, Main Street, in 1855. There he advertised stock for sale, and instruction. He also advertised the largest gallery in the state. In 1856 he was listed at the same address, in partnership with H.H. Lovell. The firm advertised daguerreotypes, ambrotypes and crystalotypes.
