Framed Prints
Framed Print of Senator George Ellis Pugh of Ohio, c. 1857. Creator: Whitehurst Studio (American), attributed to
Senator George Ellis Pugh of Ohio, c.1857. Photographing prominent politicians or other celebrities was an effective advertisement for the quality and prestige of a portrait studio. Whitehurst Studio opened in 1849 and soon had galleries in 12 cities, including Cincinnati, producing 30, 000 daguerreotypes a year. In 1857 its Washington branch advertised it had photographed the entire Congress. To outflank competition from cheaper operators, Whitehurst, in1854, became a pioneer in America in the production of paper photographs. This is a rare example of an American salted paper print, one of the early paper print processes quickly succeeded by albumen prints. Pugh, a Cincinnati lawyer, represented Ohio in the US Senate from 1855 to 1861. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © Heritage Art/Heritage Images
