Griswold, Manfred Marsden

One source has listed Griswold active as a daguerreian in Tiffin, Ohio in 1853. Subsequent to that, he was active with a daguerreotype and ambrotype gallery on the east side of High Street between State and Town Streets in Columbus, Ohio , 1858-1859. He was apparently active there until 1868. Born in Delaware, Ohio, one source reported he may have studied with Daguerre, and was apparently first active as a daguerreian in a studio on High Street, Columbus, in 1853, with his cousin as Griswold and Howard. Following the Civil War he was active as a photographer in Lancaster, Ohio. In 1872 he moved to Boston, and died in Medford, Mass. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Griswold, Victor Moreau

He was first listed as a daguerreian in Tiffin, Ohio in 1851. He may have been active there as late as 1855. From 1855 to 1873 Griswold operated as a daguerreian in Lancaster, Ohio. One source has also located Griswold in Lancaster for a period in 1852.

In July and October, 1856, Griswold was awarded patents; one covered an improvement in collodion, the other involved a "carrier" for photographs, similar to the japanning on tintypes. Patent numbers were #15,336 (July 15) and #15,924 (October 21), respectively. In 1856, or perhaps early 1857, Griswold began manufacture of tintype plates in Lancaster. Also by 1857, he had successfully produced japanned surfaces in a variety of color tints, including red, blue, green, chocolate and white. He later introduced two styles of surface coating, glossy and eggshell, both of which became the industry standards. Between 1857 and 1862, his plant facilities were expanded several times.

From 1858 to 1868, he was listed as a photographer in Columbus, Ohio. In 1859-1860 he was also listed as a photographic gallery and plate manufacturer, north side of Main Street, between Broad and Columbus Streets, Sifford Block, Lancaster, Ohio. His residence was on Wheeling Street. One source has dated Griswold's appearance in Columbus as 1855, but this could possibly be an error.

In 1859, as a promotional item, Griswold published a small trade paper called Camera. In 1860, he was listed as a photographer at 101 South High Street, Columbus and in 1862 he was in partnership as Griswold and Howard.

In 1862, Griswold opened a new factory at Peekskill, N.Y. By this time, the company had two factories with a dozen ovens and between forty and fifty employes. He also opened a salesroom and office in New York City at this time.

In 1864 he was listed in partnership as Griswold and Smith in Columbus. In 1871 he was listed as a photographer in Lancaster, Ohio. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Gurney, Jeremiah

(1812-?) Before learning the daguerreotype process, c. 1840, he operated a jewelry store at 18-1/2 Maiden Lane, New York City, N.Y., in 1839-1840. Following his introduction to the daguerreian process, he opened a gallery on Broadway. He was not listed in the New York city directories until 1843-1844, when he appears as a daguerreian at 189 Broadway. His residence was listed at 80 Greene Street. His gallery remained at the same address through 1853, with varying residence addresses.

In 1846, 1847, 1848, 1850 and 1851 he exhibited daguerreotypes at the American Institute Fair, New York City. In 1850 he pioneered mammoth daguerreotype plates, and at the American Institute Fair in 1851 exhibited eleven double full plates and six half plates.

In 1851 he also exhibited at the Crystal Palace, London, England.

From 1851 to 1855 he lived at 53 Baltic Street, Brooklyn. In March, 1852, fire damaged his gallery. In June, 1852 he purchased the Whitehurst gallery at 349 Broadway, at the corner of Leonard Street. The gallery reportedly had been destroyed by fire; Gurney refurbished it and operated it as a second gallery for a short time. He sold the gallery at 189 Broadway, and effective February 1, 1853, only operated at 349 Broadway.

During 1852-1853 he employed T. Hayes and W.A. Perry as camera operators. In 1852 he was also noted in partnership as Gurney and Litch (A.); the partnership was not listed in the New York City directory.

In 1853, he received honorable mention at the New York Crystal Palace exhibition, and also won the Anthony prize competition. The same year, he exhibited again at the American Institute. Solomon N. Carvalho was employed by Gurney in 1853; and reportedly from 1853 onward Gurney used primarily paper photography processes. He advertised that year as taking "mezzographs."

The Brooklyn city directories lagged a little behind, continuing to list him at 189 Broadway (New York City) from 1853 to 1855. From 1855 to 1857 he was listed in partnership as Gurney and Fredericks (C.D.). From 1855 to 1859, Gurney lived at 332 Henry Street, Brooklyn. He continued to exhibit at the American Institute each year.

From 1857 to 1869 his gallery was listed at 707 Broadway, New York City. In 1857, he was noted in partnership with John Bishop Hall, making and distributing Hallotypes. This partnership was not listed in the New York City directories. From 1858 to 1860, he was listed as photographic artist, 349 Broadway. Sometime in the late 1850's he may have employed Samuel J. iller, a former daguerreian in Akron, Ohio, as a "poser." This was the assistant who posed the sitter for the camera. In 1860-1861, he was listed as a photographist at 707 Broadway, in business as J. Gurney and Son, with Benjamin Gurney.

In 1874, the Gurney and Son partnership was dissolved. Benjamin Gurney continued to work at Kurtz's old gallery at 872 Broadway. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig
