From Vicksburg [MI] Historical Museum Deport website at: [http://www.rootsweb.com/~mivhs/vicksburgvillageviews.htm]:

"We don't know much about Edwin Brink and Dwight Corwin, two local photographers during the 1870's and 1880's, but one local artist better known was Charles E. Dorrance. He set up shop in the Smalley Block, where the Commercial-Express office is now located, in 1885, advertising himself as the proprietor of Dorrance's Photo Gallery. No doubt Dorrance utilized a front room as a combination waiting room and gallery. Here he would artfully display examples of his work in as elegant a setting as possible, complete with luxurious furniture for the comfort of his waiting clients. A talented musician who also served as leader of the Vicksburg Cornet Band until he moved out of town in 1888, Dorrance left behind many portraits as examples of his excellent work, some of which are part of the Vicksburg Museum's collection."
