OriginalSource: JOHN CARBUTT, (Brey), p. 4 In 1858 or 1859 Carbutt worked in a photographic gallery in Indiana, probably as an assistant operator.  While there he began experimenting with the use of colored filters. [Possibly Plymouth since he returned in 1863 to marry Mollie Ackerman of Plymouth.]

Hawes, Indiana State Gazetteer, 1858-59, p. 410 J. Carbutt, p. 320 J. Carbutt, Plymouth, photograph, ambrotype, melaineotype, and stereograph artist, Cosmopolitan Gallery
1860 IN Census, John Carbutt, Marshall Co., Plymouth, artist

The Weekly Republican, Plymouth, 11 Aug. 1859, p. 3 - That Excelsior Photographist--And Ambrotypist, John Carbutt, has recently re-arranged his fine picture gallery and made great additions thereto. In addition to his legitimate business, sun painting, Mr. C. does and is prepared to do all sorts of Italian, Grecian and other kinds of oil paintings. In his rooms are already many specimens of his skill in this line--such as the "Happy Family," "Niagara Falls," & co., all beautifully executed. Besides this he has a fine collection of lithographs, engravings, and portraits, comprising landscapes, splendid views of notable places, likenesses of eminent characters, and such other pictures as are usually found in first class country galleries. We think Mr. Carbutt excels as a photographer, and in all his works displays the skill fo a genuine artist. A visit to his gallery will repay many times its cost.

The Weekly Republican (Plymouth, Indiana), August 9, 1860, p. 3
Mr. J. Carbutt -- Our enterprising home artist, has completed a life-size photograph of Hon. Schuyler Colfax, which has been pronounced by all who have seen it a perfect likeness. The execution of the photograph is admirable, and it may be seen at Mr. Carbutt's gallery, together with smaller copies of the same. Mr. Carbutt is fast gaining an enviable reputation as one of the best artists in the State.

OriginalSource: Plymouth Democrat, 29 Apr. 1858, p. 3 - Ad - Carbutt's New Ambrotype, Photograph, Side and Sky Light Gallery, over Pershing & Co's. Drug Store, Michigan St., Plymouth, Ind. He has fitted up the above Gallery, with the view of permanently locating here, and takes this opportunity of making known to them, that he is prepared to execute Likenesses in all the various styles of the art, and in the highest perfection. Having had a practical experience in the Art since its first introduction west of the mountains, he flatters himself that the merits of his pictures, and the unequaled facility at his command for taking them in the shortest possible time of sitting, will induce the public in general to give him a call. All work warranted. Prices ranging from 50 cents upwards. Call and examine specimens and likewise view the magic powers of the Stereoscope. G. J. Carbutt, Artist. N. B. - The art taught and apparatus furnished on reasonable terms. I also make and keep for sale a superior article of Collodian, which I warrant to keep good for 6 months. Price $2.? Lb. Operators who desire to make fine work would do well to give it a trial.

Plymouth Democrat, 13 May 1858, p. 3 - Editor visited new Photograph and Ambrotype Gallery of Mr. Carbutt; entertained with magic stereoscope for an hour. "Mr. Carbutt seems to possess the true spirit of the Artist. In love with his beautiful Art, he seems desirous of excelling in every branch, and bringing to the highest perfection all the latest discoveries and improvements." 

Plymouth Democrat, 5 Aug. 1858, p. 3 - Photographers, Ambrotypes, Melainotypes, and Stereographs taken daily at the Cosmopolitan Gallery, over Pershing's Drug Store, equal to any taken in the Union. Call and examine the sublime view of Niagara Falls, the Greek Slave, a Palace by Gas Light, & c, in that wonderful instrument, the Stereoscope. Stereoscope views of private or public buildings taken, and the Stereoscope furnished to order. Terms as low as can be afforded, and all pictures warranted. J. Carbutt, Artist. July 29th. [ad ran through at least Feb. 24, 1859]

Plymouth Democrat, 5 July 1860, p. 2 - Ad for Likeness in a Case only 25 cents at Carbutt's Gallery. Now is the time to secure a cheap and durable Likeness. Don't be humbugged into buying any of those shadowless caricatures made by ye traveling artist. If youy want a good picture Carbutt will make it for you in double quick time. Remember the place - over Pershing & Co.'s Drug Store.

Plymouth Democrat, 9 Aug. 1860, p. 3 - Our enterprising home artist, has completed a life-size photograph of Hon. Schyler Colfax. May be seen in Carbutt's gallery, together with smaller copies of the same. Mr. Carbutt is fast gaining an enviable reputation as one of the best artists in the State.

Weekly Republican (Plymouth, Indiana), November 29, 1860, p. 3
We learn that Mr. John Carbutt, before leaving this place, took a likeness of our aged fellow-citizen, Mr. John Saebold, as he appeared sitting in his cabin door. Mr. C. will forward the likeness and a brief history of the old veteran's life to the proprietors of Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper for the purpose of having them published in that journal.

Plymouth Democrat, 20 Dec. 1860, p. 3 - A. J. Hassler, successor to J. Carbutt in the Daguerrean business, is, as we are glad to know, doing a paying business. We have seen some specimens of his work that are as good as the best. We could not have gotten a better substitute in the place of Mr. Carbutt.

Weekly Republican (Plymouth, Ind), 13 June 1861, p. 3 - Mr. John Carbutt, formerly of this place, but now of Chicago, sent us an excellent photographic likeness of the late Senator Douglas, executed by himself.
