John S. Broadaway (1838 - 1891)
John S. Broadaway was an itinerant photographer who came to Charlotte in 1865. His temporary studio was above the Charlotte Bank. An advertisement from The Western Democrat indicates that his “traveling” studio “Gem Photograph” would be in town for a few days. Broadaway offered “fereotypes [sic], ambrotypes and all kinds of collodion pictures in carte de visite, lockets, pins, rings, cases and made in the best style of the art.” Prices ranged from one dollar and upwards.
