Thank you Scott. My understanding was the tax stamp on photos started in 1864, and was repealed in 1865.
ZZ, great photograph of
PETER BERRIMAN (1825-1905)
There is a photo of him at an older age on findagrave, along with this bio:
"Aged 79 years 4 months and 15 days; la grippe. Known as "Uncle Peter" to his many . Born Sept 24, 1825 in Yorkshire, England, the son of John and Jane Brigham Berriman. They came to the U. S. in 1848 when Peter was 22. He associated with John C. Lamb and was a manufacturer of plows and other agricultural implements. He later was employed by the Chicago & Alton Railway at Alton in the wood department of the railroad car shops for nine months. He then returned to Springfield and worked for the Wabash Railroad Co in the car building department. In 1856 he became a foundryman and member of the firm of Booth, King & Co., owners and operators of the Excelsior foundry. A year later it became Booth & Berriman, and then Mr. Berriman purchased his partner's interest and the firm Berriman & Rippon continued in business for 29 years. It was one of the leading industrial concerns of the city. After this business closed, he began the manufacture of steam engines and boilers and built several sugar and sorghum mills during the Civil War. In 1878 he sold his business and retired. In 1880 Mr. Berriman became superintendent of the Springfield waterworks, holding this office until 1897. He was a Democrat and served as city council member for 4 years. ..."
