In 1855 he was noted as "paper photography" in Elmira, N.Y. This is probably the same Hart listed in that city in 1857 as a daguerreian, with no business address and living on the north side of Factory Street. Also probably the same A.P. Hart listed in 1859 as a daguerreian in Rochester, N.Y., at 83 Main Street. An alternate address for him there was 91 Main Street. Hart was born in Goshen, Conn. He learned the daguerreotype from a Mr. Johnson (C.E.?) of Binghamton, N.Y., in 1847, and operated Johnson's Elmira gallery in the Eagle Tavern Block for a short time, then operated as an itinerant. By March, 1850 he had a gallery at 20 Water Street, Elmira, also offering supplies and instruction. He spent some time between 1853 and 1855 as an itinerant, and returned to Elmira in the fall of 1855. In 1856 he briefly operated a gallery in Bath,N.Y.; he was back in Elmira by 1861, and bought out T.S. Hathaway . He ran the gallery until his death in 1893. Information
