1857                Rooms over Rice, Smith & Co.’s. Store, Plymouth, Indiana

1858                Address Unknown, Plymouth, Indiana.

W. Van Nostrand was recorded in two announcements in the Marshall County Republican  (Plymouth, Indiana).  The first appeared on October 15, 1857.  If you want a first rate picture don’t delay a moment, but go immediately, to Mr. W. Van Nostrand’s Gallery, over Rice, Smith & Co.’s Store, and have your Ambrotype or Melainotype taken.  Mr. V. will take it in a style never before surpassed by any artist in this place.  He leaves now in a few days.  Go soon or you will be too late.

The second announcement appeared on March 11, 1858.  Van Nostrand has again opened his Ambrotype Gallery, with increased facilities for furnishing every one who desires it, with an “express image of their person.”  His pictures are rarely excelled, as his specimens conclusively demonstrates.—Give him an early call, as such favorable opportunities for obtaining correct likenesses are rarely met with.

W. Van Nostrand is not recorded in other photographic directories.
