LEGS 63/64 · searched negatives with settlers
Two of the record's trade rosters were drawn for this town, and both came back without a name: for photographers — no studio man or woman, no daguerreian, no glass-plate maker and no press photographer of New Carlisle stands named in the record reached; where Walkerton's same test returned two names and printed them, this town's returns none, and the honest entry is the test itself. The gap stands named (GAP-NC5-SPE-3), its settlers the Polk gazetteers' New Carlisle business listings read edition by edition (the trade directory that found the opera house is the likeliest keeper of the town's photographers), the society's photograph collections, and the town press's advertisement columns.no mogul, and no producer of any rank seated in, born in or formed in New Carlisle stands documented in the sources read — the one feature shot here was an outside production (the Film article above), its makers not this town's. The record side rides with it: no local label, studio or session man is documented. Both legs close at the size of their searches, with the settlers named — a negative a later pass can settle is worth more than a name invented to fill the roster.
