Subject: [NYALBANY] Photographer James H. Lloyd of Cohoes
Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2001 18:16:01 -0500


Hi all,

Have some photos in the family Bible that are unlabeled except for the name
of the photographer on the back. Several of them are from James H. Lloyd's
studio in Cohoes. His address is listed as either 61 Remsen Street or 61.5
Remsen Street.

I understand from a previous post that the Lloyd Studio is still in business
in Troy. Does anyone know when this fellow was in Cohoes or if the slight
difference in the addresses can help narrow down the date range? Based on
other evidence, I can narrow down the range of dates to about 1825-1857.
The dawn of commercial photography in Albany County probably shifts the
earlier date to sometime in the 1830s or 1840s, which would narrow things a
bit, but I need to have something a bit more exact to be certain about
identifying the family member in the picture.

Any info that might help would be greatly appreciated.
