Description: INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:? The shipping rates shown are for '1st Class International Package' with tracking.? Ebay is also promoting their EIS International Shipping program on sellers pages. I do not use this program because it is more expensive, slower, not very transparent, and frustrating to the buyer, if something goes wrong. Do not select it, if ebay does show it as an option. Thank you. Portrait of: SHOREY, WILLIAM FOSS, Artist and Photographer, was born April 20, 1833 , at Hollis, Maine. After receiving a common -school education, the subject of this sketch served an apprenticeship of five years at the tinner's trade , and soon after attaining his majority was employed in the tinning department of Mr. C. S. Maltby's packing establishment, during which time he attended the evening sessions of the School of Design of the Maryland Institute. Here a strong talent for art was developed , and in connection with drawing, he pursued the studies of oil painting and photography. After graduating with honor, taking one of the Peabody premiums, he became, and was for a number of years, teacher of the elementary class of drawing at that Institute . He selected photography as the branch of art best suited to his inclinations, and withdrew from the employ of Mr. Maltby, to establish himself in business in Baltimore. He first located at No. 87 West Baltimore Street, and after remaining there, and at No. 105 , same street, for a number of years, he removed to No. 157 West Baltimore Street, where he is still in business .
