Brady's Daguerrean Gallery


Here for your enjoyment is an absorbing photograph of Brady's Daguerrean Gallery. It was created in 1854. The photo illustrates An interior view of reception gallery, showing ladies and gentlemen in groups, conversing and looking at work of studio, which is displayed on walls. In distant background, seen through entrance to another room, is operator standing beside camera. Apparently from original drawing by unknown artist, reproduced as woodcut in Brady's advertisements in Norton's Literary Gazette for 1854 and elsewhere. We have compiled this collection of photographs mainly to serve as a valuable educational resource. Contact curator@old-picture.com. Image ID# 98F3A12E Ref: loc/Daguerreotypes
