Lovely Young Victorian With Civil War Revenue Stamp

            CDV by C. L. Howe, Brattleboro, Vermont.

Photographer Caleb Lysander Howe was born in Dummerton, Vermont, September 23, 1811.  He was the son of Caleb Howe, Sr. and Sophia (Sheldon" Howe.  He first married Cynthia Sherman (1813-1846), with whom he had four children. Only two lived to adulthood. Cynthia died in 1846, and Caleb Howe married Martha B. Simonds (1823-1891) on May 24, 1848. They became parents of five children. 

Caleb L. Howe was a farmer near Dover, Windham County, Vermont, when a traveling daguerreotypist came to town in the summer of 1852.  Caleb became fascinated with the process, and bought out the traveling artist for $300. He then traveled to Boston, Massachusetts, to learn the fine points of his new trade from noted early daguerrean, J. L. Black. Howe established his studio in Brattleboro, Windham County, Vermont, in 1856, buying out the studio of L. Lovell, who had been making daguerreotypes in Ware, Massachusetts in 1849, and in Brattleboro since 1852.. Howe continued in business there until his death, March 14, 1896. During his lifetime, Caleb L. Howe made pictures using every process known at that time. Two of his sons, Nathan Sherman Howe and John C. Howe, also became photographers.  Nathan Sherman Howe is listed as such in both the 1860 and 1870 census, but was an insurance agent by 1880. His younger brother, John C. Howe, is listed as a photographer in the 1870 census, and continued the business after his father's death in 1896..  

In addition to maintaining his studio in Brattleboro, Caleb L. Howe sometimes worked as a traveling photographer in Vermont and New Hampshire. He was taxed $10 for a class B license as a photographer in 1863.
