Samuel Masury (ca. 1818–1874) was a photographer in 19th-century Boston, Massachusetts. He trained with photographer John Plumbe around 1842.[1] In 1853-1855 he partnered with G.M. Silsbee as "Masury & Silsbee", daguerreotypists, on Washington Street.[2][3] Masury "traveled to Paris in 1855 to learn the glass negative process from the Bisson brothers, whose landscapes and architectural views were internationally celebrated."[1] By 1858 he ran his own studio in Boston, on Washington Street.[4] He presented work in the 1860 exhibition of the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic Association.[5]
