With no city directories or newspaper files available for that part of New York, a clear description of the photography life of Edmond Daggett is not possible.

It can be said that Daggett was photographer from about 1860 to 1899. He worked with the Ambrotype and Daguerreotype processes early on. Cabinet cards would have come from the later part of his career, perhaps the last 15 years.

And in general, the cabinet card format began around 1865.
