S. W. Douglas is by far the best photographer in Evansville…
1879-80 Williams & Co. Indiana State Directory, p. 369

Boonville Enquirer, (Boonville, Indiana), April 23, 1881, p. 2
Mentions Douglas, Evansville photographer, has just come in possession of a process by which he can take photograph of an infact in an instant, and of adults in from one to two seconds. Cloudy days as well as sunny. Mr. Douglas has made several experiments with the new process, and is greatly pleased with it. . It does away with long sittings and is not dependent upon the state of the weather. He is only photographer in Evansville who has this process.

Boonville Enquirer, (Boonville, Indiana), October 15, 1881, p. 3
Mr. S. W. Douglas, of Evansville, has just returned from New York, bringing with him a new and elegant lot of winter scenery. During his stay in that city he took many notes as to improvements in the beautiful art of photography which he will introduce here.

A Mammoth and Elegant New Photographic Gallery -- W. W. Douglas.
Column about the magnificent new gallery just fitted up by S. W. Douglas, the skillful and pupular photographer recently located on Second Street, near Locust. The new establishment is at No. 203 Main Street, near the studio of Mr. J. T. Poindexter. The rooms were formerly occupied by another photographer, but under Mr. Douglas' lease have been entirely remodeled, reconstructed and vastly improved. The light is declared, by good judges, to be one of the very best ever secured by an artist in this country. The rooms situated on the 2nd and 3rd floors have been superbly refitted and furnished, and in his improved quarters Mr. Douglas brings the latest and most approved apparatus in use among photographers and perhaps the finest in the entire State. The gallery is so much finer than anything ever had in Evansville, that an idea of its beauty and convenience can hardly be conveyed by comparison. It will suffice to say, however, that it is not surpassed by any gallery in Cincinnati or Louisville, and is not equaled by any in the State. Mr. Douglas, with his improved facilities for work, is making a specialy of the late and popular Promenade Card. He is also executing splendid Glace and Porcelain pictures, indeed he produces pictures of every size and variety from the simple card photograph up. His new gallery is well worth a visit, and cordially extends an invitation to the citizens of Boonville and vicinity to give him a call when in the city.

Boonville Enquirer, (Boonville, Indiana), March 11, 1876, p. 3
Column about new gallery of S. W. Douglas, the Main street photographer. It is recognized as the art emporium in Evansville. Mentions ordinary card photographs or the large and pretentious rival of the oil painting. Mr. Douglas in his new quarters on Main street, has ever added to his already perfect facilities for photography, and by new machinery, new drapings, new scenes and new chemical processes, is able to produce a perfect photograph. He has all the latest methods in style of picture, and his work is simply beyond any improvement. Also has picture frames.
