Tilford, W.H.

(-1879) Daguerreotypist and supplier of daguerreian materials, St. Louis, Mo.


Although one source noted him as a daguerreian as early as 1848, he was listed in the St. Louis directories from 1853 to 1860. In 1853 he was listed on the east side of Fourth Street between Pine and Chestnut Streets. In 1854-1855 he was not listed. In 1857 he was listed at 39 North Fourth Street at the "City Gallery", opposite the Planter's House.


He advertised as a dealer, and offered "Tilford's Celebrated Positive and Negative Collodions". The address remained the same through 1860, and in 1859, 1860 he was listed primarily as a daguerreian stock house, rather than as a daguerreotypist. By 1873, when he advertised his business was established in 1848, he was located at 18 North Fourth Street. He also advertised as the oldest photographic stock house in the South or West.


In April, 1873, a notice in the Philadelphia Photographer announced that Gatchel & Hyatt had purchased the Tilford establishment, and that Hyatt would move to St. Louis to take charge of the business. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Tilghman, Edward

(Possibly Thilgman) According to a reminscence by Charles Ehrmann, Tilghman was an amateur photographer in Philadelphia, Pa., c. 1852. A civil engineer connected with the Philadelphia gas works, he visited Archer in England, and returned with samples of his collodion. Ehrmann and his associate, John C. Parke, were able to experiment with the new substance. Another report indicates that as a result of Tulghman's efforts, J. McClees was able to make the (alleged) first collodion negative in America.

Tomlinson, William Augur

Reportedly he was a daguerreian operator and instructor in the gallery of John Plumbe, Jr., in New York City in the early 1840's.


In 1845-1846, he was listed as a daguerreian at 2 Phenix Building, New Haven, in partnership with Phineas Pardee.


An advertisement appeared in April, 1845, in Baltimore, Md., for a daguerreian gallery of "Thomlinson and Pardre", at 10 N. Charles Street. This is, in all probability, Tomlinson and Pardee. In 1846 Tomlinson moved to Poughkeepsie, N.Y., and from 1846 to 1862 was listed as a daguerreian in Troy, N.Y. He appeared in the directories in that city from 1849 to 1856. He was probably noted by another source as "A. Tomlinson" in Poughkeepsie in 1846.


In 1849-1850 he was listed as "Tomalson", daguerreian, in Troy, without a business address. His residence was noted on Eighth Street. From 1850 to 1856 he was listed as daguerreian in the Museum Building, corner of River and Fulton Streets. An ad noted he was from New York City, and had been put in charge of the daguerreian gallery of the Museum, making images from finger ring to whole plate sizes. G.A. Hough was acting manager of the museum, which had specimens of beasts, birds, reptiles, minerals, fossils, shells and other curiosities.


In 1855-1856, Tomlinson was listed as a daguerreian in partnership as Tomlinson and Holmes (H.). This year was his last listing in the Troy directories. In the same year, he appeared as a daguerreian in Jersey City, N.J., at 54 Montgomery Street, with his residence at 117 Grand Street. It was probably about this time that Tomlinson reportedly purchased the rights to James A. Cutting's Ambrotype patent for New York City; Hudson County, N.J.; and Long Island.


In 1856-1857 he was listed in New York City as an ambrotypist, at 447 Broadway. His residence was listed at 109 Warren St., Jersey City. He was listed as Tomlinson and Co., with Charles L. Dick. From 1857 to 1859 he was listed alone at the same address, with his residence in Jersey City. As well, in 1859-1859 he appears as a daguerreian in Jersey City at 54 Montgomery Street, with his residence at 109 Warren Street.

Tyler, (E.A.)

Current research indicates there is every reason to believe there was a direct connection between daguerreians Edward M. Tyler (Boston, Mass.; Providence, R.I.; Memphis, Tenn.); James Tyler (Cincinnati, Ohio); E.A. Tyler (Charleston, S.C.; and possibly New Orleans, La.); and Tyler & Co. (noted in all the cities above). In all instances, except for the Memphis, Tenn. listing, Tyler & Co. appear to be the original mass merchandisers of the daguerreian era; their advertisements all proclaimed hundreds of images taken in a single day, and promoted low prices for daguerreotypes.


Edward M. Tyler was first listed in Boston, Mass. in 1854. With his gallery at 2 Winter Street, advertising as Tyler & Co., he offered images "Taken with the Double Camera for 25 Cents Taken by Tyler & Co./ Corner of Winter and Washington Sts/ Boston. 600 Daily, advise to keep clean." In 1855 Tyler & Co. was succeeded by Taber (C.D.) & Co.


Edward M. Tyler is probably the same as E.M. Tyler, listed as a daguerreian in Providence, R.I., in 1860, at 81 Westminster Street. He boarded at the City Hotel at this time.


In late December, 1855, Tyler & Co. purchased the gallery of J.M. Osborn at 233 King Street, Charleston, S.C. One of their advertisements proclaimed they had won a wager in New Orleans by taking 1,000 daguerreotypes in four hours. With twenty employes, they offered mass production of images at low prices. While there is no first name associated with this Tyler & Co., there is a record of an E.A. Tyler purchasing supplies from George S. Cook in 1854.


Tyler & Co. operated in Charleston from December, 1855 to June, 1856, and again from November, 1856 until early 1857, when the business was sold to Quinby & Co. During the year operation, there is evidence that Osborn continued to be associated with the firm, and that S.C. Mouzon may also have worked in the gallery in 1856, during the firm's hyatus. In December, 1856, an advertisement noted an English photographer named Turbout Quinbie, who had been hired to take photographs on silk for the firm.


In 1857, a daguerreian named James Tyler had rooms in Cincinnati, Ohio, at #30 and #32 Fourth Street. He advertised the business as James Tyler & Co., Great Daguerreotype Depot. A card on the reverse of a ninth plate daguerreotype noted the company was the proprietor and originator of the invention by which 800 portraits were executed daily. "Three taken at a pop." The form and wording of the ad corresponds very closely to that used by Edward Tyler in Boston.


In 1859-1860, an Edward M. Tyler advertised his daguerreian gallery at 219 Main Street, Memphis, Tenn. In 1859 he was listed with his residence on St. Patrick Street; in 1860 he advertised as Tyler & Co., and offered ambrotypes, photographs, etc. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S.

Tyler, Edward M.

Current research indicates there is every reason to believe there was a direct connection between daguerreians Edward M. Tyler (Boston, Mass.; Providence, R.I.; Memphis, Tenn.); James Tyler (Cincinnati, Ohio); E.A. Tyler (Charleston, S.C.; and possibly New Orleans, La.); and Tyler & Co. (noted in all the cities above). In all instances, except for the Memphis, Tenn. listing, Tyler & Co. appear to be the original mass merchandisers of the daguerreian era; their advertisements all proclaimed hundreds of images taken in a single day, and promoted low prices for daguerreotypes.


Edward M. Tyler was first listed in Boston, Mass. in 1854. With his gallery at 2 Winter Street, advertising as Tyler & Co., he offered images "Taken with the Double Camera for 25 Cents Taken by Tyler & Co./ Corner of Winter and Washington Sts/ Boston. 600 Daily, advise to keep clean." In 1855 Tyler & Co. was succeeded by Taber (C.D.) & Co.
