Chicago’s Daguerre Studios began operation in the early 20th century and appears to have specialised in portraits of actors, dancers, and other performers. One of the studio’s photographers, Emily Gallagher, is said to have been the photographer of choice for female performers. Examples of the Daguerre Studio’s portraits appear to be held mainly in American collections, such as the New York Public Library.
