Description:

Charles DeForest Fredricks (December 11, 1823 – May 25, 1894) was an innovative American photographer. Fredricks learned the art of the daguerreotype in New York City from Jeremiah Gurney, while he worked as a case maker for Edward Anthony. During the latter half of the decade he operated a studio in Havana. Here he received awards for his photographic oil colors and watercolors. During the 1860s he operated a studio on Broadway that was noted for its cartes de visites. In the early 1860s, Charles Fredricks personally photographed John Wilkes Booth (the assassin of President Lincoln) on several occasions at his studio. He retired from photography in 1889 and died five years later. It comes in a nice case.
