notes
„Rufus P. Anson begann 1852 auf dem New Yorker Broadway mit einem Daguerreotypie-Studio und konnte durch großen Erfolg sein Etablissement derart erweitern, dass er um 1860 nicht weniger als 15 Kamera-Operateure beschäftigte. Vor allem ging er als einfühlsamer Porträtist von Kindern in die amerikanische Photographiegeschichte ein (...). “ (Jochen Voigt: Spiegelbilder. Europäische und amerikanische Porträtdaguerreotypie 1840–1860, Chemnitz 2007, S. 54.)
