Charlotte Photographers and Their Works, 1855-1925
In 1867, there were two photographers working in Charlotte. The number increased to twenty by 1930. Photography came into its own in the mid-nineteenth century throughout the United States. With the coming of the Civil War, a memento such as a tintype or a daguerreotype were treasured by soldiers and their families, who were parted for months and even years at a time. This was also true of Charlotteans.
