History
Gilbert & Bacon was a portrait studio that developed out of the Trask & Bacon partnership in 1870. The studio began under the leadership of William Frank Bacon and found continued success under Frank T. Bacon. William Bacon was the main photographer for the studio. By 1878, the studio gained membership in the Philadelphia Photographic Society. The studio ran out of 830 Arch Street in Philadelphia, while a second gallery was opened in 1886 on 1030 Chestnut Street.
