American-born Jewish painter and photographer of Spanish-Portuguese descent. He accompanied the 1853-1854 expedition of the explorer John C. Frémont through the territories of Kansas, Colorado, and Utah searching for a railroad route to the Pacific. During the trip he took Daguerreotypes that were lost in a New York hotel fire.
Recently the contemporary Daguerreotypist Robert Shlaer retraced the route and published the book Sights Once Seen: Daguerreotyping Frémont‘s Last Expedition Through the Rockies which is a homage to the lost photographs of Carvalho.Preparing biographies | |
