SOUTHERN Photographer WHITEHURST Marked Case withJudah P Benjamin Daguerreotype

See the photos of this nice 1/6 plate size case marked inside on the velvet J. WHITEHURST GALLERIES NEW YORK, BALTIMORE, RICHMOND, NORFOLK, PETERSBURG AND LYNCHBURG. It appears from my research that this fellow mostly took photographs in Southern cities. The case came with a beautiful daguerreotype image of a young man who I think is Judah P.

Benjamin but I have no proof. The case has lots of wear and a poorly repaired spine as seen in the photos.

This whole outfit is original and never messed with. I have owned it since the 1980s and didn't realize I still owned it until today.
