Now it’s time to meet her amazing grandfather, J.P. Ball, a pioneering African American photographer who transformed the art of portraiture in the 1800s. Through his innovative use of daguerreotypes – a special kind of photography he called “mirrors with memories” – Ball captured subjects from everyday families to famous figures like Frederick Douglas, Queen Victoria, Charles Dickens, and P.T. Barnum. J.P. Ball made pictures that helped people see themselves in wonderful new ways!
