Meade, Charles Richard

As the Meade Brothers, Charles (1827-1858) and Henry Meade established a daguerreian gallery in Albany, N.Y. in 1842, opening it November 1 of that year. Another source indicates that the gallery was opened in 1843 in Down's Building. At some point during the time of the Albany gallery, J.H. Hallenbeck apprecticed with the Meade Brothers. The firm may also have employed James Irving (Irvin) as an operator.

In 1843-1844, Henry R. Meade was listed as a daguerreian, Second Floor, Albany Exchange, and boarding at the Pearl Street House. Not listed as Meade Brothers. The following year, he was listed as a daguerreian, third floor of Exchange, and boarding at 177 N. Pearl Street.

In 1845-1846, he was listed as the Meade Brothers, third floor of the Exchange. On May 1, 1845, as Meade Brothers, the firm opened a gallery in Buffalo, N.Y. There was no residence listing for Charles Meade in Buffalo through 1847.

In 1846, as the Meade Brothers, they exhibited one frame of daguerreotypes at the American Institute. In the same year, the firm sent a frame of daguerreotypes of Niagara Falls to the French king and Emperor of Russia.

In 1847-1848, the firm of Mead (sic) & Brother were listed as daguerreians at #2 and #4, second floor, Exchange, Albany. They were noted as importers and dealers in daguerreian apparatus, as well as daguerreians. This notes the first time that Charles appears in the Albany directory; both brothers are listed as boarding at 2 Dallius Street (or Place).

In 1847, Meade Brothers were listed as daguerreians at 232 Main St., Buffalo; neither brother was listed in the individual directory. The firm offered daguerreotypes as well as apparatus and instruction in the process.

In 1847-1848, Henry Meade was listed as daguerreotypes, 285 Broadway, New York City; his residence was listed at 22 City Hall Place. He was listed in partnership as Campbell (J.) and Meade (H.). In the same year, Charles was listed as living in Albany, boarding at 2 Dallius Place. In 1848 Charles visited Europe, taking daguerreotype views and daguerreotypes of Daguerre. Six of the seven known daguerreotypes of Daguerre were taken by Charles Meade. In the same year, the firm of Meade Brothers exhibited calotypes at American Institute, receiving a silver medal. In 1848-1849 Henry Meade was not listed in the New York City directory.

In the fall of 1850, the firm sold the Albany gallery to Schoonmaker (C.C.) and Morrison. Another source maintained that the Albany gallery was sold to Noel E. Sisson in 1850, and a partnership of Sisson and Green was formed in 1851.

In the same year, the Meade Brothers opened a New York City gallery at 233 Broadway; reportedly this gallery was on the second floor of the Astor House. Another source locates the gallery opposite Park Street and three doors above the Astor House. It was called the "American Daguerreotype Depot", and offered apparatus for sale. One report in Humphrey's Journal noted the firm manufactured cameras and cases. According to one source, Mary Ann Meade, a sister to Charles and Richard, was also employed at the 233 Broadway gallery during most of its existence. Although not specific, the implication is that Miss Meade may have been a camera operator.At some point, the firm employed O.G. Mason as chief operator in gallery. Mason left New York in 1861 to go to Springfield, Mass. The firm won a silver medal for excellent daguerreotypes and a diploma for chemically colored daguerreotypes at the American Institute.

From 1850 to 1858 the Meade Brothers were listed as daguerreians and daguerreian goods, 233 Broadway. In 1850-1851, Henry Meade listed his residence at the business address. Charles did not show a New York City residence until 1853-1854.

In 1851-1852, the Meade Brothers were also listed as daguerreians at 155 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, N.Y., over G.D. Sweetser's store. The studio was operated by Byron and Bent. It is unclear whether this was a Meade Brothers subsidiary operation, or whether Byron and Bent simply worked for them previously. In 1851, Meade Brothers exhibited 24 daguerreotypes at the Crystal Palace, London. In 1852, the firm employed ten assistants in the New York gallery and had a collection of 1,000 pictures. They were awarded a silver medal for the second-best daguerreotypes at the American Institute. In 1853 they were awarded a gold medal for double whole plate, single and half-plate pictures at the American Institute; and received honorable mention at New York Crystal Palace.

It was reported in 1853 that Meade Brothers planned to open a gallery in Williamsburgh (Brooklyn), N.Y. in May. The same year, the firm was listed with a daguerreian gallery on the northwest corner of First and South Seventh Streets, Brooklyn.

In 1853, 1854, Charles R. Meade was listed as a daguerreotype artist at Franklin Street near East Street, Greenpoint, N.Y. This is undoubtedly a residence address rather than a gallery address.

In 1853-1854, Henry Meade was listed living at the 233 Broadway studio address. In 1853, the firm employed John Werge in the New York City gallery.

In 1854, the firm was not listed with the Williamsburgh gallery.

In 1855-1856, Henry Meade listed his residence at 135 W. 25th Street, New York City. In the same year, Charles R. Meade was listed as a daguerreian at 233 Broadway, New York City.

In 1858-1859 Henry Meade listed his residence as Brooklyn.

Charles Meade died March 2, 1858, in St. Augustine, Fla. In 1859-1860, Henry Meade was listed as a photographer at 233 Broadway, New York City.

Daguerreian, 385 Broadway, New York City, N.Y., 1854-1855. He lived at 80 Chatham Street. This is probably the same John D.

Miller, Adam R. (1828-?)

Active as a daguerreotypist in Terre Haute, Ind. from April, 1853 to 1860. He first advertised daguerreian rooms in the building on the corner of National Road and Dourth Streets, second story (over Prairie Drug Store, Union Row), in April, 1853. He called them the "American Daguerreian Rooms." By mid-July, he had become A.R. Miller & Co., with an unknown partner, and operated the "National Daguerrean Sky Light Gallery" on the east end of Phoenix Row, over Child's Book Store. The implication from the advertisement is that the location already existed as a daguerreian gallery, whose we have not ascertained. They also advertised stock for sale. Just as A.R. Miller (alone), he advertised daguerreotypes and ambrotypes from April, 1854 to September, 1856, with his "office" at #1 Warren's Block (in rooms formerly occupied by Duff and Freeman). From September through December, 1856, he advertised the "sole right" for the "Malamotype" process in "this place." In 1858 he was listed on Wabash (Main) Street, on the south side between Market and Fourth Streets, upstairs, and lived on Fourth Street. He advertised the exclusive patent right for melainotype and Hallotype pictures. In 1860 he was listed on the south side of Wabash between Third and Fourth Streets.
