MARINO MONACO
M. MONACO, the leading
representative of the photographer’s art in this city, is a native of Canton
Tecino, Switzerland, born in 1854, received his education in his native
country, and in 1869 came to America, and was in Nevada until 1875, at Gold
Hill, Virginia City and Eureka. From there he came to Stockton, and in 1876
first became connected with his present business, in the studio of Mr.
Batchelder, and in 1883 purchased the business and appliances of J. B. Baldwin.
Mr. Monaco has kept pace with the rapid progress made in photography, always
making it his business to secure the latest improvements. His greatest
advantage, however, lies in the possession of natural artistic taste, which his
business has cultivated, and which has enabled him to produce the best effect
with his appliances. As a result, Mr. Monaco stands to-day admittedly in the
front rank of his profession, while his work is deemed, by the judges of the
Exposition, as worthy of the highest premiums for photography. It is safe to
say that through the gallery of Mr. Monaco, Stockton can compete in photography
with the best work produced on the Pacific coast.
