Hello!
This is the English page of Muijz (Erik van den Muijzenberg). I am a contributor to the Dutch Wikipedia. Sometimes I add a link here to the corresponding Dutch article, or I correct a minor mistake. I used to do that anonymously, but on May 26, 2004 I got the message that there was a message for me. I clicked, and then I read this:
- User talk:168.190.200.33
- If you continue to post nonsense articles you will be blocked from editing. Maximus Rex 13:49, 21 May 2004 (UTC)
So, I checked the User contributions. But those weren't my contributions. (Wasn't my IP address either.) Weird. (Here are my anonymous contributions.)
Anyway, I decided to create an account. If you can read Dutch, you can check my Dutch Userpage too.
Cheers,
Muijz
Jeremiah Gurney (1812–1895) was an American daguerreotype photographer. Initially working in the jewelry trade in Saratoga, New York, he took up photography after learning of daguerreotype from Samuel Morse, moving to New York City where he began selling photographs alongside jewelry. He was one of the earliest photographers in the city, and may have been the owner of the first photographic gallery in the United States. Gurney took this self-portrait photograph around 1869, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.Photograph credit: Jeremiah Gurney; restored by Adam Cuerden
