... that despite having no professional training or experience, DeLancey W. Gill(pictured) was appointed to take thousands of photographs for the Smithsonian Institution? Source: From "De Lancey W. Gill: Photographer for the Bureau of American Ethnology. History of Photography.", pg 8-9"How Gill learned photography is not entirely clear. Perhaps an answer is provided in his assertion that his artistic and scientific accomplishments proceeded largely from self-teaching." (pg 8.)"Thus Gill received his subjects, sometimes as many as 300 a year. His total production is not counted, but it is estimated to include between 2000 and 3000 portraits." (pg 9.)
@Generalissima and Onegreatjoke: The citation needs to follow the hook sentence in the article not at the end of the paragraph with the hook fact. I moved it to comply with DYK Criteria. Lightburst (talk) 18:12, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
