Stylish in Boston

Carte de visite by Miller & Rowell of Boston, Mass. Brother and sister? Boyfriend and girlfriend? Husband and wife? Whatever their relationship, they project an air of a refined and stylish couple.

Photographers Russell Ambrose Miller (1824-1909) and David Franklin "Frank" Rowell (1832-1900) partnered together in Boston, Mass.

Miller, born in Chichester, N.H., moved to Boston at age 18 and began his career as a printer. Several years later he became a photographer and practiced for almost a half century.

Fellow Granite Stater Frank Rowell, born in Weare, started his professional life as an ornamental painter and became a photographer in 1855. He is well-remembered for his business partnership with Edward L. Allen, with whom he received a gold medal for "carbon pictures" at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. Rowell is also recognized for his work with dry plate and film processes. About 1870, he established a whittling school "to save young men from drifting into idleness of the crowded lines of employment, by developing and guiding the whittling habit into a useful application." It became part of the Boston Industrial School.
