E.G. Weld & Son 1860s Lincklaen 8h from Albany St. [Cazenovia, Madison County, NY] [Views of Cazenovia & Vicinity.]
Stereoview, front and back Private collection of Dave Porter (Dave Porter, January 2022) Ezra Greenleaf Weld first operated as a daguerreotype photographer as early as 1845 in Cazenovia and his first studio was in his residence on Chenango Street. He later moved his studios to the Hobie and Rouse Building on the south side of Albany Street in 1851. At some point in time his son Albert joined the photography business. This view is of Lincklaen Street looking north from Albany Street. The Lincklaen House is visible in the right foreground and the Cazenovia Seminary tower is visible in the left background. E.G. Weld is famous for taking two historic daguerreotypes of a fugitive slave convention held in Cazenovia, NY in 1850 attended by numerous notable abolitionists of the time, including Weld's brother, Theodore Weld, and Frederick Douglas. This view is likely from the 1860's.
