Jeremiah Gurney (1812–1895) was an American daguerreotype photographer. Initially working in the jewelry trade in Saratoga, New York, he took up photography after learning of daguerreotype from Samuel Morse, moving to New York City where he began selling photographs alongside jewelry. He was one of the earliest photographers in the city, and may have been the owner of the first photographic gallery in the United States. Gurney took this self-portrait photograph around 1869; it is now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.Photograph credit: Jeremiah Gurney; restored by Adam Cuerden
Hi! I am Varadarajan, a native of Cochin, in the state of Kerala. Currently I am a research scholar at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India.
I was introduced to this Borgesian world of Wikipedia by my friend Amar V Chandra. I am deeply indebted to him for this.
Here, I have mostly been doing minor corrections and editing. Apart from this, I have started a few entries on lesser known writers on philosophy and literature. In the case of the already well written articles on philosophers I mainly add to the bibliography. Hope to do a lot more in the coming days.
Some of the entries I started here:
