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.

This cabinet card must have been done before about 1902 and after about 1890.

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.
