WENNERSTEN Frostburg Montgomery County Calvert County University of Maryland, State University Historical Society Historical Society Eastern Shore Editor's Comer Although every year marks the something-anniversary of some event, 1989 happens to bring with it several especially noteworthy celebrations. Our summer and fell numbers will focus attention on them. This issue, besides harking back four years to the centennial of the Druid Hill YMCA, will commemorate the sesquicentennial of the arrival of pho- tography in Baltimore and—with special pride—the centennial of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. In these pages we also supply our regular bibliography of Maryland history, again the work of friends at the University of Maryland who have our thanks for the volunteered help. Cover design: Original block plan of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, by Frederick Gutekunst. From John Shaw Billings, Description of the Johns Hopkins Hospital (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins Hospital, 1890). Dawn of the Daguerrean Em in Baltimore, 1839-1849 ROSS J. KELBAUGH Secure the shadow ere the substance fade, Let nature copy that which nature made.1 Advertisement for Jacob Skew's Daguerrean Gallery, 1847 On 23 March 1839 word of an "astonishing and marvellous" French discovery first appeared in a Baltimore newspaper. Few people in the city could have envi- sioned its impact. Louis Daguerre reportedly had developed a process by which "an exact pictorial image in light and shadow of any object" could be made on a silver plate by "means of a sort of camera obscura."2 Miraculously, even when reduced to an inch, a picture of a house showed roof tiles and window panes in microscopic perfection. Daguerre's discovery promised to record the moon and all of the world under it in such exacting detail. News of the daguerreotype, the first widely prac- ticed photographic medium, finally had reached Baltimore. The year 1989 thus marks the 150th anniversary of an advancement that forever changed how we see the world—photography. Several cities were major centers for early American photography, yet the role played by Baltimoreans, either permanent or transient, has not been explored in any great depth. Ironically an industry that recorded or illustrated the growth and development of others has itself not received the same study. It is fitting, then, to acknowledge some of the people and com- memorate the events that helped make the medium an integral part of the lives of Marylanders today. Artists had tried since earliest time to capture reality in all of its infinite detail, and after the sixteenth century the camera obscura, a device that reflected a scene onto paper for tracing, served as a limited tool in efforts to copy nature. Daguerre's invention humbled these attempts. Samuel F. B. Morse, the American artist and inventor, was in France at the time of Daguerre's revelation. He requested an audience both to demonstrate his own telegraph and to view the "Daguerrotipes." Daguerre agreed reluctantly, insisting that the images would not be seen again until the French government had decided whether to purchase the secrets of his discovery. The first American to view these marvels, Morse discussed them in a letter published in the New York Observer and reprinted in Baltimore's American and Commercial Daily Advertiser on 23 April 1839- He described the image as "produced on a metallic surface," the principal pieces about seven by five inches. "They re- sembled aquatint engravings," he reported, "for they are simple chiaroscuro and not in colors. But the exquisite minuteness of the delineation cannot be conceived. No Mr. Kelbaugh teaches American history at Catonsville High School and is author of the recently published Dmctory of Maryland Photographers. 1839-1900. 101 MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE VOL. 84, No. 2, SUMMER 1989 102 MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE painting or engraving can approach it." Morse, who arrived in New York on the same ship that bore his letter, said he had additional but confidential information about the discovery; he predicted that "it may not be long before we shall witness in this city the exhibition of such panoramas and portraits."3 On 19 August 1839, a day the world's scientific community anxiously awaited, a spokesman for the shy Daguerre revealed the secrets of making daguerreotypes to a combined meeting of the French Academies of Sciences and Fine Arts.

During the past fiscal . year, this administration continued its focus of protecting Arizona's citizens through aggressive enforcement of state laws and providing quality legal representation to state agencies. We have vigorously defended Arizona's environment by prosecuting those that destroy our natural resources, pursued dozens of companies and individuals who prey on unsuspecting consumers, and convicted many notorious criminals for the heinous crimes they perpetrated. We concentrated our administrative efforts into implementing cost-saving measures that allow us to prioritize our resources into retaining and compensating top-quality \egal staff. Loss of well-trained, experienced attorneys from the Attorney General's Office to higher paying private and public sector positions continues to be a problem that requires close scrutiny by the Legislature.

WEIR MITCHELL THE SCIENTIFIC WORK OF JOHN SHAW BILLINGS BY FIELDING H. GARRISON PRESENTED TO THE ACADEMY AT THE ANNUAL MEETING. I9T6 CITY OF WASHINGTON PUBLISHED BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES August, 1917 MEMOIR OF JOHN SHAW BILLINGS BY S. WEIR MlTCHEI.lv. It has been the custom of the National Academy of Sciences to commemorate in memoirs those whom death has removed from its ranks. Since the lives of men of science are little known except to those engaged in their own lines of research, some record is the more to be desired of one who illustrated the fact that scientific capacity may exist with varied ability for the conduct of large affairs. This combination of talents has been often found in the ranks of the Academy, although, in the belief of the public, the man of science is presumed to be inca- pable of the successful management of commercial business. The many tasks to which his life of work summoned the subject of this memoir have become, since his death, for the first time so widely known that it is unnecessary for me to do more than to put on paper a brief summary of his career and the reasons for his election to this distinguished body of men of science, where from 1887 to 1899 he rendered efficient service as our treasurer and served on eight important com- mittees or as a member of our council.

  • John Shaw Billings Centennial
    r In this portrait, painted by Cecilia Beaux in 1895, Dr. Billings wears the gown of a Doctor of Civil Law of Oxford. The painting hangs in the Reading Room of the National Library of Medi­ cine. THE MEDICAL LIBRARIAN AND BIBLIOGRAPHER 1 The gravitation of John Billings to hooks was as inevitable and as certain as any law of nature. It was equally certain that, given access to hooks, he would know their contents, use them, and intro­ duce others to their solace and help. Detailed to the Surgeon General's Office and finding no library, he made one. That he and no one else was founder of the national medical library needs no discussion after reading the following letter, printed in The i\1edical Record. 2 WASHINGTON, February 3, 1880. To the Secretary of the Medical Society of the County of New York: DEAR DocTOR: As my attention has several times been called to the communication by Dr. Wm. A. Hammond relative to the library of this office, read at the annual meeting of the Society, October 27, 1879, and more especially to the report of this communication given on page 472 of the New York 1\1edical Record for November 5, 1879, with requests for explanations, I deem it proper to make a statement on the matter to the Society. From the report in the Record, some have inferred that I claim to have been the founder of the National Medical Library, although the letter of Dr. Hammond as printed on page 40 of the minutes of the meeting, makes it very plain that I have made no such claim.
