Doughty, Thomas M. V,

1854-1855       Address Unknown, Cornwall, Connecticut.

1854 November 2.  The Litchfield Republican.  (Litchfield, Connecticut.)  November 2, 1854, Vol. VIII, No, 20, Whole No. 384, P. 2.

We see by the Poughkeepsie Telegraph, that our friend Thomas M. V. Doughty of Cornwall Hollow, had a premium of $3 awarded to him, by the Dutchess County Agricultural Society, for

his superior daguerreotype likenesses.

1855 October 26.  The Litchfield Republican.  (Litchfield, Connecticut.)  October 26, 1855, Vol. IX, No, 19, Whole No. 435, P. 2.

At the late Exhibition of the Dutchess County Agricultural Society, held at Washington Hollow, we noticed our friend, T. M. V. Doughty, of Cornwall Hollow, received the first premium of $5 for the best three frames of daguerreotypes.

Pictures.  T. V. M. Doughty, who has taken the rooms occupied by Landon in the building adjoining our office, is sustaining the former high reputation of the Gallery for pictures not to be surpassed, and not often equalled (sic.).  Daguerreotypes have for the most part given place to the more modern and more valuable Ambrotypes; but Mr. Doughty is equally at home in all styles and improvements of the art.  Those still preferring a photograph he can gratify, and while we felicitate ourself upon the possession of a gentlemanly and clever neighbor, our gratulations extend to our community in its possession of an excellent resident artist.  Winstead Herald.

The above is true, even if the Winsted Herald does say it.  Mr. Doughty is one of the best artists in the State.  Wonder if friend Clark didn’t [notice.]
