OriginalSource: A copy photo of a dag in an IHS unprocessed Fletcher/Coburn/Bence collection includes a mat stamped "E. R. Gard, Artist"

1857 A. C. HOWARD'S INDIANAPOLIS CITY DIRECTORY,
p. 107 Emery R. Gard, Daguerrean and ambrotype artist, No. 10 1/2 W. Wash. St. [W. is probably typo-should be E.]
p. 225, Daguerrean Artists, E. R. Gard, No. 10 1/2 E. Wash. st. (see pg. 112)
p. 112 full pg. ad: Indianapolis Likeness Gallery! E. R. Gard's Ambrotype, Daguerreotype, Photograph, Melenotype, and Sphereotype Picture Gallery, No. 10 1/2 E. Washington St.  3rd floor of Fletcher & Wooley's New Building, Indianapolis [see 1858 Ind. State Gaz. & Bus. Dir. for woodcut of Fletcher's bldg.]
E. R. G. has all the late improvements and great facilities for taking the Likeness of Children/ N.B. The Sphereotype is the latest improvement in the art of Photograph, Patented May 17th, 1856/Gallery always free to visitors/ Mr. Gard was awarded the 1st diploma at the Indiana State Fair, 1856, for the best specimens of Ambrotypes, & c. on exhibition, and is prepared to take Likenesses larger than any other establishment in the State.

Indianapolis Daily Journal, 20 Sept. 1857: E. R. Gard, No. 10 E. Wash. St. (hours: 8-5 Sundays excepted) took first honors at Marion Co. Fair. He also won first in the last Indiana State Fair. We believe him to be as good as his word, when he promises the best likenesses that can be made in the city, or no charge.
See State Board of Ag. Report, 1856 p 563, 608: Gard won $3 at State Fair for 2nd best dags. Ambrotypes described as very superior in style and finish.

Indianapolis Daily State Sentinel, Nov. 7, 1856, p. 1 List of Premiums, Indiana State Board of Agriculture [State Fair], Oct. 22-24, 1856, Daguerreotypes: 2nd place, E. R. Guard, $3.00.

Weekly State Journal, Nov. 10, 1856, ad for E. R. Gard, rooms 10 E. Washington St., 3rd story Fletcher & Woolley's new bldg.

The Diary of Calvin Fletcher,
v. V, 587, 20 Oct. 1856, This morn a Dugarian by name of Gard came & wanted my ambrotype as I was an old citizen. I gave it.
v. VI, p. 18: 28 Jan 1857, In AM went with Mrs. F. to Mr. Guards & had our Degueratypes taken.
9 March 1857, p. 35: E.'s wife wanted me to get from the Degarian a picture I had taken sometime since at Mr. Gards for his benefit. I could not well get it but have promised that she shall have one.
p. 96, 17 Aug. 1857: I have to go to Mr. Guard & get likenesses today. Got Mr. Guard to take 2 duagerorrotypes for K. [Keyes] & 2 for self.

Indianapolis Daily Citizen, May 12, 1858, p. 2 ad: E. R. Gard's Likeness Gallery, No. 10 East Washington St. Ambrotypes, photographs on small cards to life size, colored in oil colors. Melainotypes, Hallotypes, Heleographs (for the two last he has a patent-right). Daguerreotypes, &c. All taken in best style of art or no charge. His pictures are the ones which took the Silver Cup at the last State Fair. Photographs can be taken from small Daguerreotypes of Deceased Friends up to Life Size and colored in oil colors. may 7-dtf

Indianapolis Daily Citizen, May 12, 1858, p. 3 It seems altogether probable that portrait-painting is, one day or other, to become an obsolete art. If any one doubts it, let him go and see some of the pictures painted by the Sun, at E. R. Gard's Likeness Gallery. Little was it supposed 10 yrs ago, when those ugly little Daguerreotypes used to cost four or five dollars apiece, that pictures as large as life, and so full of the expression of nature, that it is hard to realize that they do not move, and breathe, and talk, would ever be produced on the same principle. But such is the fact. We do not remember to have seen, anywhere, more beautiful pictures than at Mr. Gard's rooms this morning.
