Lawrenceburgh Independent Press, Sept. 26, 1851, p. 2 Daguerreotypes. A few mornings since our citizens were not a little excited by the appearance at our wharf of a novel craft, called "The Artist." On visiting the singular boat, we learned that she was commanded by Messrs. Jaquay & Elston; two well known daguerrean artists, who have fitted out this boat in a neat & comfortable style, and now for more than 3 yrs. have been gently & leisurely descending the Ohio--stopping for a season at each town & taking likenesses, landscape sceneries & c. at cheap rates everywhere giving universal satifaction of their superior knowledge & experience in the art. They are polite & gentlemanly in their manners & make their appearance among us well recommended.  
[the following ad ran Sept. 26 - Nov. 7, 1851] Have arrived in Floating Daguerrean Gallery & prepared to furnish daguerreotype likenesses equal in finish, clearness & depth of tone accuracy & effect to anything in the country. The convenience & superior arrangements for the concentration of light alloted by the floating gallery enable them to produce in the shortest possible time, pictures of the human face divine...In their floating pilgraimage of 3 yrs. along the Ohio they have taken the likenesses of more than 11,000 persons...They have generally been very successful in taking likenesses of infants. All their pictures warranted not to fade or change by time or climate. Those wishing pictures please call at their Floating Gallery near the city wharf boat, at any hour between sunrise and sunset. Access to the Gallery is entirely convenient and safe. Jaquay & Elston.

From Rising Sun Republican - Mr. A. Jaquay, who has for some time been at our whartf with a boat called the "Artist," and very successfully engaged in taking Daguerreotypes, landed his boat at Mr. Crutchfield's, in East Bend, on last Monday, and while lying there was run into by the steamer Telegraph No. 2, tearing the upper part of the boat into splinters, and very seriously damaging his chemical apparatus.

The Indianapolis Star, Sun. 11 Oct. 1981, p. 2, Sec. 7:
Hoosier Antiques and Collectibles section, "Experts share photo, china data" quote by John Newman: "An Anthony Jaquay left Pittsburgh in July 1848 in a 'floating Daguerreotype salon' and reported on his arrival at Rising Sun, Ind., in May 1852 that he had taken 14,000 pictures including more than 1,000 in Lawrenceburg alone."
