Stimpson. According to Craig\u2019s Registry John Stimpson worked as a daguerreian in Boston, Cambridge and Cambridgeport, Mass. From 1852 to 1854 he was listed in Boston. This is certainly during his time in Boston and shows possibly a known 18<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century Bostonian. If any recognizes him the information would be appreciated. Stimpson captured this painting in perfect contrast and tones and if it wasn\u2019t for the brush strokes it could be mistaken from life. The plate is in excellent condition with some tinting to his face. We resealed it with a new glass and it is housed in a full leather, Birds, Berg 5-36 case.\u00a0 <strong> $130<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"741\" height=\"836\" src=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot18.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot18.jpg 741w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot18-266x300.jpg 266w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 741px) 100vw, 741px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"607\" src=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot18a-1024x607.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot18a-1024x607.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot18a-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot18a-768x455.jpg 768w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lot18a.jpg 1410w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Painting by Stimson Vibrant sixth-plate daguerreotype of a painting with a brass mat mark for J.
