Elizabeth Clifford Greene with a lace-trimmed décolleté dress stares off over her proper left shoulder. Greene was born August 25, 1825. Her first marriage was to Cornelius G. Fenner, then she later married Gardner H. Clark. She died without children in November 1857. Same sitter as D.6.006, D.6.008. John Adams Whipple, a leading Boston photographer, was of one of the first to practice daguerreotypy in the United States. He was originally a chemist, and when the daguerreotype process came to the U.S. in 1839, he supplied new photographers with the chemicals they needed. However, the fumes caused problems with his health and by 1845 he was listed in Boston city directories as a photographer with Albert Litch.
