Portrait of Lawrence Washington Cole, Editor of "Michigan Argus," and Employees, 1851
01
Artifact Overview
L.W. Cole, co-editor of the Argus newspaper in Ann Arbor, Michigan, from 1846 to 1854, sits with his employees in this daguerreotype from about 1850. Most photographs of this type were taken of an individual in his or her best clothing, so a group portrait of workers in everyday attire is rare.
