- Abstract
This article discusses how the Jewish painter and daguerreotypist Solomon Nunes Carvalho produced one of the more ambiguous accounts by a photographer of the early phase of westward expansion during the mid-nineteenth century. Topics covered include Carvalho's participation in war veteran John Charles Frémont's survey of the Santa Fe route, Carvalho's boxes of supplies which he called Pandora's box, and his narrative of the expedition.
