Neff, Peter, Jr.

(1828c-1903) Historically, Neff owned the patent for, and was the first manufacturer of tintype plates in the United States.

He attended Yale University for a year in 1845, then spent a year at Woodward College in Cincinnati, Ohio, and graduated from Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio in 1849. He operated a farm for his father for two years, then entered divinity school. While in Gambier in 1853 and 1854 he worked closely with Professor Hamilton L. Smith, who was experimenting to perfect his ferrotype process. The pair also pursued independent research in 1855, making successful tintypes.

Under a cooperative agreement, Neff prepared the patent papers; Smith filed the application, and was awarded a patent in February, 1856. It was assigned to Neff and his father. Neff recorded that his first attempts at making the process "commercial" were in rooms over his father's stable on West Sixth Street, near Cutter Street, in Cincinnati. He imported several tons of iron in the summer of 1856, and built a factory to process the plates at 239 West Third Street, Cincinnati. He also had operating and instruction rooms in the plant, and sent out teachers to instruct daguerreians in the new process.

While in Cincinnati, Neff recalled that he invented the "French Diamond Varnish"-- a varnish for melainotypes and collodion pictures. He sold the varnish to E. Anthony in 1858. Also in 1856 Neff published a 53-page booklet, The Melainotype Process, Complete. Four thousand copies were published for free distribution. A year later, Neff and Charles Waldack published a 141-page book, Treatise of Photography on Coillodion, "Embracing full directions for compoundind of chemicals and their theoretical and practical application to that art in all its relations."

In 1857 the plant was destroyed by fire, and Neff relocated to Middletown, Conn. At that time he had an office with James O. Smith on Fulton Street, New York; and placed Smith in charge of the Middletown plant. With production difficulties and an unenforceable patent (about the expire), he sold the plant to Smith. In 1860 Neff moved to Gambier, Ohio. Near the end of the Civil War he became involved in oil and gas wells in Eastern Ohio, and patented a process to use gas from his wells to produce lampblack.

Nichol, John

A daguerreian and editor, one report indicated that when Dr. Nichol died March 13, 1910 in Clifton Springs, N.Y., he was the country's oldest practitioner. He reportedly began his photographic career as early as 1841. A chemist by profession, he was more interested in the theory of photography than in practical operation. He founded the Photo Beacon magazine in 1899, and from 1896 was the editor of the American Amateur Photographer. He later became an associate editor of American Photography.

Nichols was left in charge of the gallery when Barnard went to Syracuse, N.Y. There is an overlap here, as Nichols was listed in Syracuse in 1854-1855, with Barnard, at 4 Franklin Buildings, over Abbott and Co.'s store. In 1851 he was also noted in Fulton, N.Y., although one source referred to Fulton Street, New York City, N.Y. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Nichols, Abel

Possible daguerreian, probably Boston, Mass., c. 1840's. He apparently learned the process in Italy; and taught it to Jemina Caffen, Stephen Caffen and Edward Henry Baldwin. This information has only been verbal, and repeated attempts to confirm it have been ignored. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Nichols, C.A. (Mrs.)

She was active as a daguerreian in Angelica, N.Y., 1857-1860. The single mother of two children, Mrs. Nichols joined the established gallery of William Marratt in Angelica in April, 1857. She apparently had a prominent position in the business, and offered ambrographs (collodion images on leather). The partnership was dissolved in November, 1857, and Mrs. Nichols continued under her own name at the location over Thomas Brothers' Drug Store. In January, 1858 the gallery was moved, and moved again late in the year. By that time, she also offered daguerreian jewelry as well as instruction. At the end of 1859, she announced her intention to close the gallery, but continued to be listed as a daguerreian artist in 1860. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

--------------------

William C. North and his nephew Walter Crane North present one of the most confusing of the "same name" biographical studies in American photographic history, principally because most references to either man state simply "W.C. North."

What follows has been culled from a variety of sources, many of which now appear to be inaccurate, or at the least confusing. The principal source of current information is an obituary of Walter C. North which appeared in the St. Louis and Canadian Photographer in October, 1891 (p.426).

The earliest record to date of William C. North as a daguerreian is in 1848-1849 at 142 Washington Street, Boston, Mass. He was listed as boarding at the Marlboro Hotel. The following year he was not listed in the Boston city directories. He apparently moved from Boston to Rondout, N.Y., and established a gallery. there. In 1850. Walter C. North, who was born in Rondout, returned there (after two years in Brooklyn, N.Y. as a book store clerk), to work for his uncle in the daguerreian gallery. This would indicate that the senior North was already established in Rondout prior to that time.

On October 29, 1850, William C. North advertised the opening of daguerreian rooms in the Dunham House, Cleveland, Ohio. On November 26, 1850, an advertisement reported that "Mr. North has bought out Tilton's daguerreotype establishment and now occupies his old rooms in the Melodeon Building." According to one source, Walter accompanied his uncle in opening these rooms, and later bought him out. The nephew's obituary, however, indicates that Walter remained in Rondout another year, then joined his uncle in Cleveland and worked for him for two more years.

In 1852-1853, William C. North was listed as a daguerreian in the Melodeon Building. In 1852, he exhibited daguerreotypes of General Scott, Allan North, and "The Departure" series at the Crystal Palace, New York City. In the same year, he was listed as a daguerreian at 81 Superior St., Cleveland, Ohio.

One source indicates he operated a gallery in Dayton, Ohio, at an unspecified date.

In 1853 Walter North reportedly moved to Mansfield, Ohio, opening a gallery there and remaining until 1856. He then returned to Cleveland and purchased his uncle's gallery. A year later, he sold the gallery back to his uncle and reportedly began selling sewing machines.

In 1857-1858, William C. North was listed as a photographist at 79 Superior St., Cleveland, Ohio. (Melodeon Hall). He also offered daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, melainotypes, and photographs.

In the same year, Walter C. North was listed as a daguerreian at the same address, with his residence at 231 Prospect St.

The obituary of Walter C. North indicates that between 1857 and 1860 he sold sewing machines; but the Buffalo, N.Y., city directory listed Walter C. North was listed as a daguerreian at 324 Main St., Buffalo, N.Y., boarding at the home of E.R. Fellows, in 1857. There is also a reference indicating that c.1857, there was a "Walter B. North" daguerreian in Utica, N.Y. He reportedly sold this gallery to C.B. Younge, c. 1859.

The following year, 1858, Walter C. North was listed as a daguerreian at 324 Main St., Buffalo, in partnership as North & Upson (J.T.). He was not listed as a Buffalo resident that year. In 1859-1860 he was listed as a traveling agent.

In 1859-1860, William C. North was listed as a photographist at 205 Superior St., Cleveland, Ohio. This is the last entry we have for this member of the North family. If he continued in photography, he apparently remained in Cleveland, quietly.

Walter North reportedly returned to Rondout, N.Y., in 1860 and re-opened a gallery there; and just before Christmas in 1861 moved to Utica and opened a gallery in the Devereux Block, in partnership with Raymond (W.B.).

In 1861, Walter C. North was listed in partnership with Raymond in Utica, N.Y. His obituary indicates he remained at that location for three years, then moved to Franklin Square for nine years. In 1874, Walter C. North sold his gallery in Utica to Wilhelm Fritz, and announced he was available for employment at another gallery. He became a teacher and instructor in photography, traveling and spending two to three weeks in some places. His base of operations was Columbus, Ohio. He announced his intentions to establish a school of photography there. In 1878 he returned to Utica, and operated a gallery until his death.
