Mr. G. Frank E. Pearsall, the well-known photographer, at No. 298 Fulton street, is a native New York City, having been born in Cherry Street, November 23, 1841. His father was John A. Pearsall life-boat builder and a man of enterprise, who was the first in his life to use steam power; and who died of pneumonia at the age of thirty-three, having contracted a cold while out on Long Island Sound on a yacht. His mother was of the numerous and respectable Long Island Family of Duryea.In 1870 Mr. Pearsall established a photographic gallery at the corner of Fulton and Tillary Streets, Brooklyn, removing, two years later, to his present location. Mr. Pearsall, as also his brother, Alva A. Pearsall, may be said to be in a great measure self-taught in his art. To it he has devoted the best years of his life and much careful and well-directed thought; making, from time to time, several important improvements in photographic processes and apparatus. As an artist he takes high rank; he is a member of the National Photographic Association, and his name is know well and favorably to the profession throughout the United States and Canada.
