评论： Established himself as a daguerrean artist in N.O. in 1842 and taught the daguerrean process in his studio. He was at the forefront of New Orleans photographers, offering new techniques as they emerged: calotypes, ambrotypes, and ivorytypes. He was active as a photographer until his retirement in 1864, after which he was sometimes listed as an auctioneer.

来源： G&W; Encyclopaedia of New Orleans Artists, 199 (as Edward Jacobs). Note: G&W had a listing for an Emil Jacobs of New Orleans which contained the same information that the Encyclopaedia of N.O. Artists, listed under Edward Jacobs; G&W also had a listing for an Edmund Jacobs, English artist, age 40, living with his wife Rachel in New Orleans in October 1850 (based on 7 Census, 1850, La., IV-1, 499), both are most likely the Edward Jacobs listed here.
