The name “New York Gallery” was apparently a photographer’s attempt at making his studio seem glamorous or stylish by alluding to the popular central for artists, at the time, New York.
Thus “New York Gallery” is located in several places. This page is to collect the various cabinet cards imprinted “New York Gallery” and possibly connect them to the actual photographers.

There is some evidence that a New York Gallery in Poughkeepsie, PA,
was actually operated at least for a while, by photographer Aurelius
M. Beale. (No examples available.)
Reading, PA is less than 200 miles from Poughkeepsie, NY, and even
less to Williamsburg, PA. so there is a possibility that it was the
same photographer for all three locations. More research pending.
The New York Gallery at 411 N Sixth, Reading, PA, was operated by
Charles A Saylor at least part of the time. There are MANY cabinet
cards still available from this studio.

Not the one you were looking for? Here's the photographer's
INDEX by name.
All the Cabinet Card photographers of the 19th
century found in LOST GALLERY are listed there.
Cabinet cards typically have the photographer’s name and address printed on the bottom edge or the reverse of the card. 19th century photographers moved around a lot. The basic idea here is to find WHEN a photographer was WHERE, which will help date an unidentified CABINET CARD from your family album.
This is a work always in progress.
Aditional information and New examples are always welcome. Any
additional information will help narrow the time that these precious
antiques were made.
All submissions should be free of glare and
shadows.
Do not crop.
Leave a border around each card. The edges are
sometimes an important clue to the age of the card.
