Michigan – Another Politician
On account of the inaccessibility of photos at that time, it’s not astonishing that most of the pictures from the 1840s and 1850s are primarily of political figures. The oldest photograph from Michigan state holds another photograph of a politician, however, this one is somewhat of a forgotten one.
Thomas Fitzgerald was a lawyer who wound up turning into a lighthouse keeper for quite a while in Michigan. He joined the Senate in 1848 however just remained in the position for several months.
