Bolles & Smith and G. J. Olendorf give particular notice to the public generally, that they are in no way connected with the old rooms formerly occupied by Olendorf & Smith.  We also return our thanks for the liberal patronage received for the past eight years from our patrons and friends, and invite them to call and examine our newly arranged sky and side light, combined upon the latest scientific principles, which gives better shades and more perfect likenesses then have ever before been attained in this village, together with the best fitted and most convenient suit of rooms in this section of the country.  Cooperstown, May 18, 1859.

Daguerrean Car, Daguerreotypes, , , , , ,

1854                Near The South Park, Pulaski, New York.

Smith appeared in one announcement on September 14, 1854 in The Pulaski Democrat (Pulaski, New York).  Daguerrean Car.—Mr. Moulton has located his Daguerrian Car near the South Park, strung out some good looking faces as signs, and ask the public to visit him.  We have done so.  The establishment has decidedly a “taking appearance—the specimens are equal to any we ever saw—and more of the same sort furnished to order.  Smith, so popular here three or four years ago, a fine artist and a capital fellow, is with him.  It cost nothing to look at their pictures and time spent viewing beautiful pictures is not lost.

Smith is possibly J. B. Smith; Moulton is possibly William J. Moulton.  J. B. Smith was published in the blog on February 3, 2021, he was active in Pulaski from August 28 to Septtember18, 1851.  J. B. Smith and William J. Moulton are referenced as partners in Craig’s Daguerreian Registry as being active in Rome, New York in 1857-1858.

1859                Address Unknown, Washington, D. C.

Smith in the partnership of Bryant & Smith was recorded in an announcement June 14, 1859 in the Evening Star.  (Washington, D. C.)  From The photographers & publishers, Messrs. Bryant & Smith, we have six photographic (stereoscopic) views of scenes in and about Washington, which, for excellence of execution, are quite equal to the best French stereoscopic views.  They consist of representations of the Patent Office, Washington Monument, Jackson Statute, White House, Capitol extension, (east front,) and the tomb of Washington.  They are for sale by Franklin Philp.

Smith is recorded in the partnership of Bryant & Smith in Washington, D. C. in The World Of Stereographs by William C. Derrah.
