Talk:John D. Heywood

John B. Heywood?
Is this photographer instead John B. Heywood? Their descriptions are very similar:

"John B. Heywood was a photographer in 19th-century United States. He worked in Boston, Massachusetts, c. 1856-1861. Examples of his photographs reside in the New York Public Library and the Massachusetts Historical Society."

"John D. Heywood was a photographer in 19th-century United States. He worked in Boston, Massachusetts, ca.1856-1862. Examples of his photographs reside in the New York Public Library; Historic New England; and the Massachusetts Historical Society."

The only source in the John D. Heywood article that I have access to, the only one linked to with a URL, at Historic New England, does mention "John D. Heywood". Historic New England has other photographs in its collection (see here) attributed to John D. Heywood.

 * Good question. There were 2 photographers active in Boston in the mid 19th century named John Heywood. See listing for each in the Boston Directory of 1856 and 1861. -- M2545 (talk) 12:44, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
