E. W. Colegrove’s Art Gallery operated in Henderson, Kentucky, during the late 19th century, offering professional portrait photography at the corner of Second and Main Streets. Like many small-town studios of the era, Colegrove’s gallery specialized in cabinet cards – mounted photographic portraits popular from the 1870s through the 1890s. The studio’s imprint, found on surviving examples, features the elegant typography typical of Victorian design, identifying it as “E. W. Colegrove’s Art Gallery, Cor. Second & Main Streets, Henderson, Ky.”
