• ... that despite having no professional training or experience, DeLancey W. Gill (pictured) was appointed to take thousands of photographs for the Smithsonian Institution? Source: From "De Lancey W. Gill: Photographer for the Bureau of American Ethnology. History of Photography.", pg 8-9
  "How Gill learned photography is not entirely clear. Perhaps an answer is provided in his assertion that his artistic and scientific accomplishments proceeded largely from self-teaching." (pg 8.)
