He started photographing in Washington DC in 1877, married Mary Cook in 1882, and was in that business until early 1907. He also worked for the US War Dept as a photographer, and returned to that employer after 1907. He was located at 905 Pennsylvania Ave from 1890-1894, and for 2 years (ca 1896) was also working as "Bishop and Meyer." After 1894, he was located at (mostly) 1008 G St ne for many years. He also took some early photos of the contraptions of Emile Berliner, the inventor of the Gramophone. If you double check the Wash DC City Directories, you will note that no one named James E. Bishop was ever situated there. Joseph would die March 2, 1929 and is buried in Greenwood Cemetery (WDC).<br /> Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04282005996821905891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966724474880692543.post-83719477898436491802021-12-30T14:39:23.004-06:002021-12-30T14:39:23.004-06:00Thanks for the nudge!

Perhaps a son of one of the brothers? anyjazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319237414264543250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966724474880692543.post-8462987092424507272021-12-29T17:48:40.193-06:002021-12-29T17:48:40.193-06:00Thank you for a great webpage.

Bishop who died in 1929?<br /><br />Allen<br /> allenamet@aol.com<br />Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04282005996821905891noreply@blogger.com
