Stauffer, Trodd & Bernier, Picturing Frederick Douglass says: Edward White was a daguerreotypist and daguerrian plate and case manufacturer in New York City. He operated a portrait studio at 175 Broadway known as the United States Daguerreian Gallery from 1843 until at least 1847. In 1846 he also took over Johnson’s Southern Daguerreotype Portrait Gallery in New Orleans, and in 1848 he moved to 247 Broadway and advertised a free exhibition of “over 1000 Daguerreotype Miniatures from life, of nearly all our eminent men.” He retired from the profession in 1851.
