Sixth-plate daguerreotype by E.D. Palmer. The maker of this image was identified by an image with the same backdrop in the 2013 Daguerreian Annual in an article by Mark Koenigsberg on page 62. Palmer’s card is displayed in the image at the base of the table. This image is too dark to show the card. E.D. Palmer operated a gallery at the Old Museum in Utica, NY from Aug. 1842 through Jan. 1843 which dates this image to that period. It is possible that E.D. Palmer is Erastus Dow Palmer, the man who went on to become a renowned sculptor.
