Johnson, N.G.: Daguerreian, Meadville, Pa., 1855-1856. Rubber stamped identification in daguerreian case also noted him in another, unreadable, location. Another identified image dated May, 1856, has written in the back of the case "N.G. Johnson, Daguerrean, Amerotypeist". Another source recorded Johnson in Meadville from January to June, 1855 as well. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig
