6th plate daguerreotype in a full case that has been repaired at the hinge. Great photo of young aristocrat with eagle case. Image has some haziness but still very sharp. Nice photo from a well known gallery in Philadelphia.
Ennis, Thomas L.
Active as a daguerreian in Philadelphia, Pa., and Cleveland, Ohio. In 1850 he was listed in Philadelphia, at 118 Chestnut Street, in partnership as Van Loan (S.) and Ennis. One directory noted the partnership at the same address in 1851, while another listed Ennis alone at 106 Chestnut Street from 1851 to 1853. He was not listed in 1854 or 1855; one source indicated he sold the gallery about March, 1853, and opened one in Cleveland, Ohio, in November, 1853. He returned to Philadelphia in 1856, and was listed with a gallery at the southeast corner of Eighth and Arch Streets. He lived at 115 North Washington Street. In 1857 he was listed without a business address, and in 1858 was at 728 North Ninth Street.
