CDV - W.T. Worthington Photographer & Ambrotypist

Letter to patron from Elsa Strassweg, New Albany Library, dated 23 Feb. 1965: "William T. Worthington was a photographer here in New Albany, Indiana during the 1850's and early 1860's."

1864-65 Indiana State Gazetteer, p. 410 (lists town only)

Evansville Daily Journal (Evansville, Indiana), February 2, 1865, p. 2
Mr. W. T. Worthington, late of New Albany, has purchased the photograph gallery of Mssrs. Beeks Brothers, and in a few days will be ready for supplying fine photographs to all who may be kind enough to favor him with their patronage.

New Albany Daily Ledger, Feb. 4, 1865, p. 2, Photograph Gallery- Mssrs. Phillips & Teawalt, successors to Worthington, at 270 Main Street, between State and Pearl, are making very many beautiful photographs. As artists both these gentlemen excel. They are provided with the best instruments, and will give entire satisfaction to all who may call upon them. We cheerfully commend them to the liberal patronage of the citizens of New Albany, for both are clever and affable gentlemen.

Description of Photographic Gallery of W. T. Worthington & Company on the corner of Main and Second Streets. Reception room on 2nd floor elegantly fitted up, and among other conveniences, we noticed a fine piano for the use of the lady visitors. They have a new mammoth solar camera, for taking life-size pictures. They make a specialty of porcelain and watch dial pictures, and invite those desiring fine pictures to give them a call. Mr. Worthington is assisted by Mr. Armsby, and they will be pleased to have visitors call and look through the gallery.
