Mason, J. Hailer

A confusing chronology surrounds this daguerreian in Lock Haven, Pa. Reportedly in town as early as 1852, with daguerreian rooms on Water Street, he also advertised as a magician. In 1853 he noted he had fitted up rooms in Crawford's Building. In February, 1854 he advertised that he had completed a traveling daguerreian wagon, and that it would be at the Clinton House in Lock Haven. Later that same month, he advertised he had taken over daguerreian rooms occupied by W.G. Root. In March, 1854 he advertised his traveling wagon in Flemington, Pa.; at at some point in the year reported he had sold his Lock Haven rooms (back) to Root.

An amateur daguerreian in Philadelphia, Pa., c. 1839. He is credited with taking the first daguerreotype by artificial light. One report indicated he became an agent for E. White, manufacturer of daguerreotype plates, in 1846; another source indicated he died in 1844. Mason, reported to have been a wood engraver with an office on Chestnut Street, daguerreotyped the optical store of John McAllister, Jr., in 1843. In 1846, he was apparently listed at 46 Chestnut Street as a daguerreian plate maker, although the directory shows him listed with "E. Whitemaker" (i.e. E. White, maker).

Masury, Samuel

(c.1818-1874) His first appearance as a daguerreian was in 1843 in Augusta, Maine, in partnership with Thomas Melzeard, Jr. Another source indicates that Masury was associated in some manner with John Plumbe, Jr. in the same year. This information may come from an ad which appeared in the Salem, Mass., Gazette in July 1843, which noted Masury "...from Plumbe's Daguerreian Gallery, Boston... Having practiced the art of photography at the best institute in the United States...".


In 1843 in Salem, Masury was listed at the Franklin Building, over Barton's Apotoecary Shop. His next listing in Salem was 1847, when he appeared on Essex Street, in Kinsman's new building, below the post office. He was listed in business as Masury and Company, and the firm included G. Vinall. In 1848 he advertised in much the same location, in Kinsman's Block, fourth door below the Post Office. He was also listed in Salem in 1849. In 1847 he was listed as Masury and Company.


From 1845 to 1847 he was listed as a daguerreian in Providence, R.I., at 25 Market St., #3 Dyer's Block. There he was listed in business as Masury & Co. From 1847 to 1849 he was listed at 25 Westminster Street.


In 1849 he was listed as a daguerreian in Salem, Mass. He reportedly sold this gallery the same year to Case (J.G.) & Getchell (W.H.).


In 1850-1851 Masury was listed as a daguerreian in Providence, R.I., at 19 Westminster Street. He lived at 121 Pine Street. Sometime in 1850 Masury reportedly sold his Providence gallery to the Manchester Brothers (E.H. and H.N.).


From 1852 to 1855, Masury was listed in Boston, Mass., as a daguerreian, in partnership as Masury and Silsbee (G.M.), at 299-1/2 Washington Street. The firm advertised as the only successors to Chase (L.G.), at 299-1/2 Washington Street and not at 247 Washington Street. They advertised that the gallery was up one flight, and were the new rooms outfitted by Chase. In 1856-1857, Masury was listed as a daguerreian at the same address, in partnership as Masury, Silsbee and Case (J.G.). In 1857 the firm referred to photographs in their advertising as daguerreotypes on paper, and offered them on glass and canvas. They also advertised they took Hallotypes. From 1858 to 1867 Masury was listed as a daguerreian at 289 Washington Street. As of 1858, he was listed alone.


At an unknown date, Masury took one of the celebrated daguerreian portraits of Edgar Allen Poe. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Mather, John Aked

(1829-1915) Born in England in 1829, he emigrated to the United States in 1856.


One account indicates that while visiting his brother in Shermansville, Pa., in 1857, he may have met T.H. Johnson, a traveling daguerreian. The accounts indicates the pair probably traveled in Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia before parting in 1858. Mather then constructed a photographic wagon, and proceeded on his own career.


More current research indicates Mather did have a chance encounter with a traveling daguerreian, but it was probably John Crathen rather than Johnson. It would be logical that when Mather traveled with his new profession across Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio that Crathen accompanied him, as the pair, as well as Mather's new wife, shared lodgings in a rooming house in Painesville, Ohio in 1860. Mather was reported in Bedford, Ohio before determining to settle in Painesville. In October, 1860 the Mathers arrived in Corry (Titusville), Pa., where he remained. He established a permanent studio there, and operated both a horse- or oxen-drawn wagon as well as a flatboat studio (on Oil Creek). and earned his reputation as a photographer of the oil fields. He was an active photographer until after the turn of the century, dying in 1915. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Mayr, Christian

Portrait and historical painter and daguerreian, Charleston, S.C., and New York City, N.Y. In 1841 he was listed on King Street, opposite Hassell Street, Charleston. It was noted he had "returned" to Charleston and was prepared to execute whole-length likenesses by daguerreotype. He apparently returned to Charleston in season. Another source listed him in Charleston from 1840 to 1843. He was listed in New York City, N.Y., at 48 Lispenard Street, as an artist, from 1845 to 1851. Still another source, with current research, maintains that Mayr was only in Charleston in 1841 as a daguerreian. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig
