Unidentified photographer / artist

N.E. Sisson's Daguerreotype Establishment

Invoice
Archives of Modern Conflict OR National Gallery of Canada
This design is on an invoice issued on April 10, 1852 for N.E. Sisson, No. 496 Broadway, Albany, N.Y.
 
The publicity lines tell us that the company is an "Importer of French Plates, Manufacturer of Daguerreotype Cases and Chemicals, and Dealer in Daguerrotype Goods of every description, Wholesale and Retail.
 
The list of the items purchased is also significant as it is everything that a photographer would need to go into business.
 
The pricing is given using Spanish system of Bits with eight bits to the dollar.
