Charles Eisenmann
Charles Eisenmann (October 5, 1855 – December 8, 1927) was a famous New York photographer during the late 1880s who worked in the Bowery district.〔Ephemeral New York (blog), ("A Bowery photographer’s freak show portraits" ), September 8, 2011. Accessed on March 17, 2012.〕
Eisenmann's photography was sold in the form of Cabinet cards, popular in this era, available to the middle class. Eisenmann also supplied Duke Tobacco Company with cheesecake photography to stuff in their tobacco cans. The book ''Victorian Cartes-de-Visite'' credits Eisenmann with being the most prolific and well known photographer when it comes to Cabinet cards.
His work was the subject of a 1979 monograph, ''Monsters of the Gilded Age'', focusing on his work on human oddities from the Barnum and Bailey circus, with a notable widely circulated picture of Jojo the Dog-faced Boy.〔Artnet, ("JOJO: The Russian Dog Face Boy by Charles Eisenmann" ). Accessed on March 17, 2012.〕 Although a number of his photographs were of obvious fakes (called "gaffed freaks"),〔Dennis Gaffney, ("Who Were the Circus 'Freaks'?" ), ''Antiques Roadshow'', PBS, 2006. Accessed on March 17, 2012.〕 many others were genuinely anomalous, including the giant Ruth Goshen, the four-legged girl Myrtle Corbin, and the Siamese twins Chang and Eng and Millie and Christine.

The address was 229 Bowery, which now is the home of a ministry and recently underwent a 3 million dollar renovation.〔Places that Matter, (Bowery Mission ), 2011. Accessed on March 17, 2012.〕 At the time the Bowery district was an eclectic mix of artists, transient people and prostitutes.〔David Chesanow, ("Collector spotlight: Arthur Farrell, collector of Charles Eisenmann photos" ), ''American Collector'', April 30, 2011. Accessed on March 17, 2012.〕 The depiction of this area in the movie ''Gangs of New York'' is judged by experts to be fairly accurate.〔Fergus M. Bordewich, ("Martin Scorsese’s Meanest Streets Yet: Rediscovering the 19th Century Gangs of New York ), originally appeared as "Manhattan Mayhem" in ''Smithsonian'', December 2002. Accessed on March 17, 2012.〕 The fallout of the New York City draft riots would have made for an era in New York that was unbridled and experimental: an ideal setting for unusual and cutting-edge photography.
