Hi everyone, Does anyone know anything about early photography business " "D.S. HANWAY's Photograph Car"? - was this business located in San Francisco? during the early 1870's? Was a 'photograph car' some sort of portable studio that went from place to place taking photos? or a street photography business? or? I have copies of very similar individual portraits (b/w with portions hand-colored) of my gr-grandparents - Richard Cullen Steward and Alice M (Mary?) TREAHY or TRAHEY which are labelled as taken by 'D.S. HANWAY's Photograph Car' - but no date. Would love to be able to determine date and location for these photos. This couple were married March 26, 1871 in San Francisco and returned to the Steward's home in Honolulu - so I'm wondering if that photography business was in SF during that period? Note - I have checked the 1864 and 1890 San Francisco Business Directory online at http://www.sfgenealogy.com without success - but maybe I'm missing something here.. Thanks in advance for any info available, K. Steward
