Photographer, born in Paisley, Scotland. Technical innovator and skilled manager of Mathew Brady’s Washington studio (1856–63), he left to take documentary photographs and run his own studio (1863–82) when Brady refused to give photo credits to his war photographers. Check, 7.75 x 3, filled out in another hand and signed by John Herrell as president and “Alex Gardner” as secretary of The Masonic Mutual Relief Association of the District of Columbia, payable to Rebecca J. Ashby for $173.96, April 9, 1881. In fine condition, with a central vertical crease, and two unobtrusive cancellation cuts, one affecting the first stroke of signature. Rare, if not unique.
