Isaiah West Taber (August 17, 1830 – February 22, 1912[1]) was an American daguerreotypist, ambrotypist, and photographer who took many pictures of noted Californians, which he donated to the California State Library "that the state may preserve the names and faces, and keep alive the memory of those who made it what it is."[2] He was also a sketch artist and dentist.[3] His studio also produced a series of stereoscopic views of west coast scenery.
