Daguerreotype Photo of a Group Posing in Front of a Building Containing J. H. Phillips' Photograph Gallery in St. Louis, Missouri (1865)


Daguerreotype of a group posing in front of a building containing J. H. Phillips' Photograph Gallery in St. Louis, Missouri, 1865. A display case of sample photos is visible at bottom right in front of the staircase and probably J. H. Phillips himself is posing in the second floor window of the gallery (which he had recently purchased). The photo is said to be a copy photo of a daguerreotype which was probably originally taken by Thomas Easterly. Easterly is the last known American daguerrean-era photographer to continue taking daguerreotypes into the 1870s.
