Jeremiah Gurney

In its March 1858 issue, the Photographic and Fine Art Journal paid tribute to Gurney by featuring his likeness and praising his accomplishments in an article, noting: “This gentleman, whose portrait forms one of our illustrations this month, has long been known in the photographic Art, and has always stood at the front rank, both in skill and success…. Since the first introduction of the daguerreotype in the United States, Mr. Gurney has been assiduous in the prosecution of the photographic art—growing with its growth, and adopting every improvement suggested by his own experience, or that of others. At the present time, his photographs are unexcelled.”
