Pacheco, Joaquim Insley

A native of Brazil, Pachecho learned daguerreotyping in his home country, and then spent time in New York City, N.Y., first as an apprentice to M.B. Brady, and later with H. Insley and J. Gurney. He returned to Brazil in 1853, and was active there as a photographer until the turn of the century. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Pact, Clark

Apparently a dageurreian operating in Sing Sing, N.Y. in 1853. A 1996 sales catalog documents a daguerreotype of one W.G. Johnson taken in Sing Sing in August, 1853 by Pact, "artist." Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Padelford, Rudolphus W.

Listed as a daguerreian in Elgin, Ill., 1855-1860. In 1855-1856 he was listed as a daguerreian in Commercial Buildings. In 1857 he was listed as a daguerreian and city clerk, Commercial Block, Chicago Street between Mill and Railroad Streets. In 1858-1859 he was listed as a daguerreian as well as clerk of common pleas and city clerk; and in 1859 simply as an "artist". In 1860 he was listed as an ambrotypist. Padelford apparently had living with him one A.J. Joslyn, a possible daguerreian who was listed in the (1850) census as a Negro Baptist Preacher.

Page, Charles G.

Listed as a daguerreian in Washington, D.C., 1856. He reportedly began daguerreotyping c. 1843, and had a high reputation in the field. He daguerreotyped many notable persons. Probably the same Charles G. Page noted by another source as having started as an amateur daguerreian. He reportedly moved to Virginia in 1838, and was professor of chemistry at Columbia University, Washington. Page, according to another source, worked in Boston in the 1830's with Daniel Davis, Jr. manufacturing electrical machines. He moved to Washington in 1839, and reportedly took daguerreotypes there as early as 1843. In January, 1843 Page wrote to A.S. Southworth, telling him of a new camera he had received from Philadelphia, Pa. He may be the same Charles G. Page who opened a gallery in Charleston, S.C. in 1842.

Paige, Blanchard P.

He may have accompanied John Plumbe, Jr. to Washington, D.C. to open Plumbe's gallery there, probably in 1840. Paige was listed as the proprietor in 1850, at the Concert Hall on Pennsylvania Avenue. At some point, Page reportedly taught daguerreotyping to Samuel C. Mills. About 1852, Paige leased the gallery to John Golden, and in 1853 Paige was listed as a daguerreotypist over Todd's Hat Store, and lived on the west side of Sixth Street west. He was not listed in 1855, but in 1858 was listed with daguerreian rooms at 856 Pennsylvania Avenue, with his residence at 16 North Market space. In 1860 he was listed at 356 Pennsylvania Avenue. As late as 1863, in writing a testimonial for a product, Paige not only spelled his name "Page", but also noted himself as Proprietor of the Plumbe Gallery in Washington. He later became a hotel keeper on Long Island. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Palmer, Joseph R.

Born in Connecticut, he first appeared as a daguerreian in New Orleans, La., in 1845, at 56 Canal Street. Plumbe's Gallery occupied the same address the previous year. By November he had apparently formed a partnership with James Maguire, and was traveling to Galveston, Texas for a month to take daguerreotypes. Late in the year, he moved his operation to Corpus Christi, where General Taylor's Army was staging. He opened a gallery January 1, 1846 between the Customhouse and Col. Kinney's residence. By June, 1846, Palmer had followed the army to Matamoras, Mexico, and established himself as a daguerreian there. By October, he had given up the daguerreotype business to become co-publisher of the American Flag newspaper. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Paradise, Andrew E.

Listed as a daguerreian in New York City, N.Y., and possibly Rochester, N.Y. He was listed in New York City from 1850 to 1860, except for the period 1851 to 1854. In 1850-1851 he was listed at 171 West 17th Street. In 1854-1855 he was listed without a business address, and lived on Irving Street. From 1855 to 1860 he was listed at 359 Broadway, alternately as an artist and photographer. There is also a reference to Paradise working for Mercer (T.) in Rochester, N.Y, and being a "New York daguerreian", but dates are unknown. He may have possibly worked there during the 1851-1854 period when he was not listed in New York City. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Pardee, Phineas, Jr.

Probably also recorded simply as Phineas Pardee. He first appeared as a daguerreian in New Haven, Conn. in 1842. From 1842 to 1844 he was listed in business with Samuel Peck as Peck and Pardee. In 1844 the gallery address was 22 Phoenix Building. In May, 1843, Pardee also advertised a daguerreian gallery in Springfield, Mass. at 6 Fountain Row. In 1845-1846 in New Haven he was listed in partnership as Tomlinson and Pardee at #6 and #9 Phoenix Building. This is undoubtedly the same partnership as "Thomlinson and Padre" that advertised in 1845 as having a gallery in Baltimore, Md. at 10 N. Charles Street. From 1850 to 1860 and later Pardee was listed alone in New Haven at 6 Marble Block, 270 Chapel Street.

Park

Photographer, Columbia, Texas, 1858, 1859. He advertised there in December, 1858, and August, 1859, in partnership as Park and Holmes (possibly Charles). Park advertised as the "Columbia Sky-Light Gallery". Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Park, Albert George

Professor Albert George Park probably began his daguerreian career in 1844-1845 in Mobile, Ala., under the tuteledge of C. Barnes. His ads in the mid-1850's indicated his experience began in 1843, but there is no documentation to support that.

Between 1844 and 1853, when he purchased the gallery of Charles L'Homdieu in Charleston, S.C., Park operated as an itinerant daguerreian in Alabama, worked for M.B. Brady in New York City, (Brady's awards at the 1853 Crystal Palace exhibition may have been in part for images produced by Park), operated a gallery in Newark, N.J., and then worked for George S. Cook in Charleston, S.C. He may have also been in the employ of Jesse H. Whitehurst at some point. (Probably the "Parks" referred to as a Whitehurst employe by another source).

From 1848 to 1850 he was listed as a daguerreian at 320 Broad Street, Newark, N.J, and lived at 196 Market Street. From 1850 to 1853 the Newark directory listed him as being in Alabama, but he reappeared in Newark from 1853 to 1855 as a daguerreian at 31 Commerce Street. It is probable that he was related to Austin S. Park, who operated at the Broad Street address as a daguerreian from 1851 to 1855.

This last piece of information is, to some extent, in conflict with other documented sources, which place him in Charleston, S.C. from August, 1853 to (probably) sometime early in 1855. (Information for the Newark directory for 1853-1854 would have been compiled and published several months before August, 1853, however).

In Park's initial ad in Charleston in 1853, he reported that "His Gold Enamelled and Chemically Colored Daguerreotypes which produced so much sensation in the City of New York, and which are now on exhibition at the World's Fair are conceded by all connoisseurs to be far superior to any heretofore produced by the Photographic Art."

In March, 1854, he advertised "The highest premium was awarded to Brady, of New York, at the World's Fair, for the best daguerreotypes, and why it's easily told. He secured the services of PARK, the Celebrated Southern Artist, while on a visit to the North, who made some of the finest Gems, exhibited in the Crystal Palace."

Specific dates of Park's employment by Cook and Whitehurst are not currently known.

Park advertised his "Star Gallery" frequently in the Charleston, S.C., papers from August, 1853 to April, 1854, but left the city by April, 1855. His gallery was purchased by John A. Talmadge.

In 1853, it was reported that Park was the oldest operator in the southern states, and produced a chemical of his own that worked better in Southern climates. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Park, Austin S.

Listed as a daguerreian in Newark, N.J., 1851-1855. From 1851 to 1853 he was listed at 320 Broad Street, and lived at 9 Orchard Street. From 1853 to 1855 he was listed only at the Orchard Street address. He was undoubtedly related to Albert G. Park, who was listed as a daguerreian at the Broad Street address from 1848 to 1850. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Park, Charles

A student of J.F. Ryder in Elyria, Ohio, c. 1849, he opened a gallery there with Ryder, and was later left in charge of it. Ryder later married one of Park's sisters. Park was listed in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1859, at 171 Superior Street. The city directory erroneously listed him as "Parker." He became a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army during the Civil War, and then returned to photography. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Pease, Benjamin Franklin

Born in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., he was active first as a wood engraver. He may have been an engraver in New York City at some point. His activities between 1847 and 1853 are undocumented; in 1852 Pease appeared as a daguerreian in Lima, Peru, and purchased the gallery of Arthur Terry. He later acquired employees formerly with the firm of Gurney and Fredericks, suggesting a previous contact with that firm in New York City. Pease was active in Peru for the rest of his life.

Pease, Frank S.

Previously unrecorded, Pease may now be considered the earliest daguerreian experimenter in Buffalo, N.Y. Historian Dale Rossi provided this information from Manufacturing Interests of the City of Buffalo (1866): "About this period, Daguerre had published in France something of his discovery. Pease heard of it and set to work, and, with his iodine, a cigar box, a piece of silver plate that the took from a coach lantern, he daguerreotyped the old wooden store of G. & T. Weed, on the corner of Sawn Street and Main." Pease was apparently a well-known businessman in Buffalo, an inventor and patentee; he was apparently widely known for his illuminating and lubricating oils.

Peck, Samuel H.

A daguerreian and case manufacturer in New Haven, Conn., his first listing there was as a daguerreian, in 1844, as an associate of Tomlinson and Pardee (P.).

In 1845 he took over the studio, and listed it in his own name. From 1846 to 1848, he was listed as a daguerreian at #6 and #15 Phoenix Building, New Haven. In 1847-1848, he was alternately listed over 94 Chapel Street; it may have been the same address. In 1849-1850 he was listed as a daguerreian over 97 Chapel Street; in 1850 he was listed in Mitchell's Building.

On April 30, 1850 he was issued Patent #7,326 for a daguerreotype plate holder.

Peck closed his daguerreotype gallery in November, 1850, entered a partnership with Scovill Manufacturing Co., and started manufacturing daguerreotype cases. He reportedly utilized a factory in New Haven owned by Scovill Manufacturing Co. In addition to manufacturing leather and paper cases, he installed equipment to produce paper mache cases.

From 1851 to 1854 he was listed as a daguerreian case maker, on Day Street, New Haven, and lived at 38 W. Chapel St. He continued to be listed at the address from 1854 to 1857, with a residence change to Dwight Place. On October 3, 1854 he was issued Patent #11,758 for a method of manufacturing daguerreotype cases. On February 5, 1856 he was issued Patent #14,202 for fastening of daguerreotype case hinges.

In 1855, the Peck and Scovill partnership became a joint stock company. For unknown reasons, the company was dissolved in 1857; Peck sold his interest to Scovill for $20,000 and $7,500 severance pay. From 1857 to 1860, however, Peck continued to be listed in business as Samuel Peck & Co., Day Street. The address became 30 Day Street in 1859-1860.

Notes: Embossed on velvet liner of daguerreotype case, "S. Peck Artist/ New Haven." Peck was brother-in-law to Halvor Halvorsen, who reportedly invented the original composition case material, and assigned his patent to Peck. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig
