Active as a daguerreian in Harford County, Md., 1858 to 1860. Born in Austria in 1843, he came to the U.S. in 1852. He apparently took up photography in 1854 and opened his own gallery in 1858.

Wanderforde, J.B.

One of the original signers of the constitution of the American Photographical Society, adopted March 26, 1859. Wanderforde was apparently a daguerreian, photographer, and possibly an artist as well. In February, 1861, he wrote a letter to G.S. Cook in Charleston, indicating a relationship in which the two got together when Cook visited New York in the summers. They had missed contact in 1860. Wanderforde indicated he had "given up" Williamson's Gallery in Brooklyn, but then had built himself a new skylight at 50 E. 13th Street (possibly 15th St), also probably in Brooklyn. He apparently did some piece work for Cook, either making copies of prints or perhaps coloring. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Ward

Known as Captain Ward; an itinerant daguerreian. In partnership as Moore and Ward, the firm was noted in Pittsburgh, Pa., in 1841. This may have been their home base. In 1841, they were noted in the following locations: Brown's Hotel, Washington, D.C. (months unknown); Virginia, March; Bank of Columbia, Georgetown (Washington), D.C., April; Nashville, Tenn., (months unknown); Louisville, Ken., August; and in 1841-1842 in the Committee Rooms of the Capitol, Washington, D.C. Originally noted as Capt. Ward, from "the South." He is probably the same as "Walton", noted in partnership as Moore and Walton in Philadelphia, Pa., in 1841.

Ward, Calvin (Charles)

Born in Palmer, Mass., he worked in Springfield, Mass. as a grocer and bridge keeper before opening a daguerreian gallery in the Goodrich Block in 1853, in partnership as Hull (A.W.) and Ward. He lived on Bliss Street. From 1857 to 1860 and later, he was listed with the "Sunbeam Gallery" on Main Street, opposite Court Square. In 1858 his son Francis worked with him; within three years Francis operated his own studio. Ward was listed as late as 1865 in the Springfield directory; he died in Jersey City, N.J. An alternate directory noted his name as Charles. Previous research connected this Ward with the Charles Ward who operated as an intinerant daguerreian in South America, but family genealogical information fails to support this. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Ward, Charles V.

Probably born in Bloomfield, N.J., he was associated with his brother Jacob as an itinerant daguerreian. The pair may have operated in New York City, N.Y. before leaving to take daguerreotypes in South America, Cuba and Jamaica from 1845 to 1848. The pair took images in Chile, Bolivia, Peru and Panama. Charles V. and Jacob Ward were reported in Santiago, Chile in early 1847; their vacated gallery was occupied by Robert H. Vance in April of that year. Previous research identified Ward as a daguerreian in Springfield, Mass., but new evidence makes this impossible. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig
