Description
Half plate daguerreotype. At lower right corner of mat: "GURNEY 349 BROADWAY." The gentleman wears a tie and sports a gold watch chain. Full case with weak spine.
After owning a succession of galleries in Brooklyn, Gurney settled into a gallery at 349 Broadway in Manhattan, where he remained for more than a dozen years. Gurney's Daguerreian Gallery was a celebrated success, featuring "reception saloons," or galleries, with portraits of "Distinguished Persons of the Age" that had been photographed at the studio. His establishment at 349 Broadway in New York "consisted of nine spacious rooms, devoted exclusively to this art."
The consignor, Alex Novak, offered to split the hammer with the Daguerreian Society. This is a generous donation and greatly appreciated.
