Moses Sutton (1823-1874), American.
 
Quarter-plate daguerreotype housed in leather case, with red pad embossed "M. Sutton Artist, Detroit."
 
Sutton apparently opened a Detroit studio in 1850, and in 1851 was awarded a first prize for Daguerreotypes at the Michigan State Fair. Craig's Daguerreian Registry lists Moses Sutton as a daguerreotypist in 1852-53 with a gallery at 209 Jefferson Avenue. He sold his business in 1860.
