John G. Wolf was recorded in three advertisements and an entry from the residence section of New York City Directory. The first advertisement ran from February 22 to 25, 1840 in The Evening Post (New York, New York.) Daguerreotype. In reply to the many advertisements
for the construction and sale of the Apparatus for the Daguerreotype. I wish to make this public announcement, that besides the Optical part, I construct the whole of the apparatus, and furnish single or double glasses,[and] that, to my knowledge, all glasses hitherto used for this purpose in this country have been supplied by me. I offer to every one who wishes to make a progress in the art to suit their several wishes, and explain the effects of different modifications of the lenses; and take the liberty to call upon all the scientific gentlemen who have until now practiced this art in New York, who have used my glasses, to testify their satisfaction to their friends of my workmanship. W. G. Wolf, Optician, 86 Nassau st.
The second advertisement appeared in the Evening Star (New York, New York) on July 6, 1840.
