For The Republican.  Mr. Caskey:—The Improvement of a town depends upon the amount and kinds of business that is carried on.  While the attention of the public is daily attracted towards some new establishment in our midst, permit me to notice the fact that our neighbor and townsman , William McKee, has opened a most splendid, and attractive Daguerrean Room, in the new on the Irvine corner, where art of taking true and life-like pictures is displayed in all it perfection.  An examination of his work, demonstrates that he has advanced more nearly to perfection as an artist, than any one who has heretofore favored our village with their skill.  You can have a real flesh-like look of the face transferred upon glass, canvas, leather or almost any other material capable of reflecting the Picture.  To those who want superior Pictures, call upon Mc., who is a perfect gentleman, and a master of his art, and he will astonish you with an exhibition of perfection never before seen in our town in his line.

1859 January 20.  Holmes County Republican.  (Millersburg, Ohio.)  January 20, 1859, Vol. 3, No. 22, P. 2.

There seems to be no limit to improvement, particularly in the Daguerrean art.  We have seen some Pictures of the “human face divine,” that we thought could not be excelled, but on going into the rooms of Mr. McKee a few days since, we discovered that we had been laboring under a delusion, for we were shown pictures there taken on glass, on paper and on leather, that far exceeded anything we ever saw before.

Photography!  Great Improvements in the Art!  Wm. McKee, Would take pleasure in announcing to the citizens of Millersburg that he has taken the rooms over Dr. Boling’s office, where he has an excellent sky-light, and with his experience in the Art, having had the advantage of being instructed in the one of the largest and best Photograph Galleries in the East, he feels justified in saying that he will make Photographs, Ambrotypes, and all of the popular pictures of the day attaining the highest perfection in the Art.

He defies competition, and claims that he will make better pictures—on an average—than have ever been made west of the Mississippi.  My results are certain.

He would also call attention to the artistic and graceful position in which his subjects will be seated.  It is unnecessary to remind the enlightened citizens of this vicinity of the inestimable value of a fine and life like picture of a departed friend.

Suffice it to say that the safest way is to improve the present, for the past is not yours, and the future you cannot command.

Come One!  Come All!  To see and get better pictures than have ever been made West, if they don’t cost but 50 cts. each, neatly enclosed in a good morocco case.

Bring in your children.  He claims not to be excelled in making child-like and fine pictures of children.  Bring them in the forenoon.

Mr. M. is not what has the name of a “traveling Artist.”  There is no humbug about this circular.

Perfect satisfaction guaranteed.  William McKee.  Main Street, opposite the Book Store.

Read This Everybody!  

As Eve and Adam strayed beside

Fair Eden’s waters

Young Eve exclaimed with all that pride

So common to her daughter,

“O could we hand to ages down

Those features there reflected,

How much our charm would be admired—

Our memory, how respected!”

Ah! man, so early made to mourn,

Seem’d an egregrious [sic.] blunder

Before the Photographic Art

Sprung into joyous wonder;

But now, what pleasure beauty gives,

When every son and daughter

Can safely [ ? ] shadow down,

[That] flies them in the water—

By calling on McKee & Beebout, At their new rooms, just fitted up in what was recently known as Fritz’s Hall.  Their rooms will be open for the reception of all lovers of art, on Monday, March 30th.

Having the best of instruments, we are prepared to take all kinds of pictures, from full size down to the smallest locket ring, in the best style.  satisfaction rendered in all cases.

Sick and deceased persons taken at their residence.

Persons having old Daguerreotypes or Ambrotypes of deceased friends can have them copied into Photographs, giving a more life-like appearance than even the original picture.

Everybody “and the rest of mankind” are respectfully invited to call.

Remember the place—Fritz Hall, nearly opposite the Post Office.

Daguerreotype.—Those of our citizens who are desirous of having likenesses of themselves of friends taken in this cheap and perfect manner, will never find a better opportunity than that afforded by the visit of Dr. McIntyre (whose advertisement appears in another column) to our city.  We have paid a pleasant visit to the Doctor’s apartment at Hernandez’s and have never seen more perfect specimens of the beautiful art to which he has devoted himself, and have seldom met with a gentleman of more agreeable and amiable deportment.  We see that the Tallahassee papers (which city he has recently left) do full justice to the Doctor’s worth, professional and private—indeed, he seems to have won golden opinions from all, wherever it has been his lot to sojourn.  We advise our friends to pay him a visit.

In connection with the above, we would also recommend to those who may be suffering from decayed teeth, &c., to give Dr. S. an early call, we can from personal knowledge recommend him to the public as a scientific Dentist.

Many persons are impressed with the belief that the Daguerreotype Likenesses will fade in a few years.  The following testimonial from the greatest Chemist in the world is conclusive testimony against this opinion.

Professor Faraday says: “Likenesses taken by this interesting art in its earlier days were liable to fade in a few years.  The late improvement of Chemical gilding on the surface of the plate, forms a pure image of silver and gold which must retain its brilliancy for ages.”

Daguerreotypes.  We paid a visit on Saturday to the room of Mr. McIntyre, and enjoyed quite a treat in Daguerreotypes which adorn the walls in great profusion.  The art of daguerreotype drawing has within a few years taken a wonderful change.  We well remember the first specimens which we believe was ever seen in our city, and which was shown to us many years ago by a friend.  It was a view of the Thuilleries, [sic.] taken at Paris, by we think, M. Daguerre himself.  We well recollect that the impression on the plate was one that by no means pleased us.  We saw, indeed, the evidences of a new art, that the progressive science of man would make more useful and more valuable in the course of time, but in the stage in which it then appeared before us, it by no means offered anything upon which, exclusive of that anticipation, we might dwell with pleasure.  The outlines of the building were exceedingly indistinct, so that to see anything we were obliged to place the picture in a certain position in respect to the sun, and even then we saw but little more than a few lines whose distinctness was more sadly destroyed by the general glare of the ground work.  Since then daguerreotypes have been rapidly receiving the advantages of science, whose lights have been made to bear upon the art.

Of these improvements, our friend McIntyre has fully himself, and his daguerreotype pictures exhibit the evidences of skill which is indebted to long experience and much study for its perfection.  The specimens which we saw at his room were so far superior to any that it has been our pleasure in former years to examine, as to shew that he has made a profitable use of every thing that the masters of science have laid before him for his instruction and government.  His portraits as well as his landscapes and a few sea scenes, are so distinct, requiring no relative position to the sun, and so soft and mellow as to resemble, to the deception of almost any one not minutely versed in such affairs,  the appearance of mezzotinto engravings.

We recommend to our friends who desire to see daguerreotypes carried to the very extent of the art, to call on Mr. McIntyre and examine his pictures.

Daguerreotypes.  We have had the pleasure of seeing this morning two capital Daguerreotype likenesses of Gen. Shields, taken by Mr. L’homdieu.  From one of these we understand that our enterprising Musical publisher Mr. Oates, intends having an engraving taken to be used as Vignette to “Shiela’s Quick Step,” a new march that he has composed.

Just as we had written this paragraph an admirable Daguerreotype of Gen. Quitman was sent down for our inspection by Mr. McIntyre.  The admirable execution of both these heroes by the respective daguerreotypists would place any connoisseur in an awkward predicament if he were to attempt to draw a comparison.  As we are only amateurs we shall decline such an invidious task.

Card.  Mr. McIntyre, begs leave to return his sincere thanks to his friends and the public for the liberal and kind patronage extended to him during the past three years, and also to inform them that he has resolved to take his final leave of Charleston in a few weeks, when those who may desire to have likenesses in his style will do well to call soon.  He will dispose of his rooms, apparatus, specimens, &c. on liberal terms.

To operators he has a lot of sensitive which he will sell at $10 per bottle with instructions for using.

Daguerreotype Of San Francisco.—Decidedly the finest thing in the fine arts produced in this city, which we have seen, is a consecutive series of Daguerrean plates, five in number, arranged side by side so as to give a view of our entire city and harbor, the shipping, bay, coast and mountains opposite, islands, dwellings and hills—all embraced between Rincon Point on the right, to the mouth of our beautiful bay on the left, included between lines proceeding from the hills to the west of the city as the point of vision. 

This picture, for such it may be termed, although the first attempt, is nearly perfect.  It is admirable in execution as well as design.  It is intended for the “World’s Industrial Convention” in London.  We venture the assertion that nothing there will create greater interest than this specimen of Art among us, exhibiting a perfect idea of the city which of all the world carries with its name abroad more of romance and wonder than any other.  It is a picture, too, which cannot be disputed—it carries with it evidence which God himself gives through the unerring light of the world’s great luminary.

The People of Europe have never yet seen a picture of this, to them, most wonderful city.  this will tell its own story, and with the sun to testify to its truth,  We would suggest that a subscription be raised to out it into a frame equal to its merits,  Californian in style and richness, inlaid with native specimens of gold and auriferous quartz.  This would make it a perfect gem.  The views were taken by Mr. McIntyre of this city.  He proposes, if his efforts meet with sufficient encouragement, to finish and furnish duplicates of this excellent and artistical picture to the lovers of art, at one hundred dollars.  It may be seen at this office.

View Of The Plaza.—We are indebted to Doctor S. C. McIntyre for a very spirited and faithful Daguerreotype of the plaza, or Portsmouth Square.  It embraces all the buildings from the old adobe to the corner of Kearny and Washington street, including the office of the Alta California.  The buildings and figures in the foreground, the background and in fact all the minutiae of the scene is admirably taken.  It was executed literally instantaneously.  Dr. McI. Is the gentleman who has been engaged in getting up the panorama of San Francisco for the World’s Fair.  His picture prove him an adept in the interesting art daguerreotypic.

Hero Art triumphant our attention claims,

Here life seems speaking from a thousand frames:

[Belles], Merchants, Statesmen, throng the pictured walls

Each face from its living type recalled.

Features, complexion, attitude, attire,

Beauty’s soft smile and manhood’s glance of fire

Truly reflected from the burnished plate,

Astonish life with its own duplicate.

Think not these portraits by the sun-light made,

Shades though they are, will like a shadow fade:

No, when the lip of flesh in dust shall lie,

When death’s gray film o’erspreads the beaming eye,

McIntosh’s life-like pictures, mocking at decay,

Will still be fresh and vivid as the day.

Life and Health is the time to secure a Likeness—man dieth and is forgotten.  Who will let the opportunity pass without securing a lasting shadow of themselves or friends, when so easily obtained?  Who will die and be forgotten when they can preserve their memory for ages and generations to come.

No effort will be spared to give entire satisfaction to all who may favor me with their patronage.—Likenesses taken at all times without regard to the weather.  Instructions given in the art.  Terms moderate.  R, M, McIntosh.

A Few Days Only!  Timely Hits To All.  Friends.—Reader, if you have a valued friend, in whose welfare you feel an interest, and your kind feelings are reciprocated, that friend will prize as a precious memorial your Daguerreotype Miniature, if taken in McIntosh’s Daguerreotype Saloon, at Northfield, Vt.

Children!—If you are still blessed with parents, and no Artist’s Pencil has truly traced the lineaments of his or her familiar face or form, you may well act the part of wisdom to advise or persuade them to visit without delay McIntosh’s Saloon, and have their Miniatures taken in his superior style of art.

There is scarcely any one who does not take pleasure in gazing on the features of a friend, and when that friend has been removed by death, we often hear the exclamation, uttered with an expression of deep regret.—“Oh! What would I not give for such a picture of my friend.”

Reader, perhaps you cannot do a better thing while your mind is upon the subject, than to pay McIntosh a visit at his Saloon; then you may at some future period have reason to feel grateful for these “Gentle Hints” from R. M. McIntosh, Daguerrian Artist.

McIntosh Has Returned, And may be found daily at his saloon on the common, painting with the sunbeams, The “Human Face Divine,” and fixing it perishable lineaments permanently, and truthfully, upon the imperishable metal.  The extraordinary favor with which his work has heretofore been received in this place, warrants him in believing that The Rest Of Northfield, and adjacent places, if not “the rest of mankind” will, as fast as they can be accommodated, call on him for their likenesses.

He has just received, from market, A New Lot Of Fancy Cases, of elegant patterns.

Call and See.

Premium Patent Ambrotypes, By R. M. McIntosh.  Having a new Saloon, and well arranged for the picture business, will give notice, that he has purchased the right of Northfield, Berlin, Roxbury. Williamstown, Warren and Waitsfield, and all that are in want a never changing Picture, can have them taken at his Saloon.

A great improvement has been made in the Patent Picture for the year past.  The Patent Ambrotype is a picture that I will warrant.  The inhabitants would do well to ascertain what kind of pictures they are purchasing.  Glass pictures are put up in many different forms and called Ambrotypes.  No pictures are genuine on the said territory without the name of R. M. McIntosh stamped upon the picture.  Having practiced the Photographic art for the last twelve years, I feel confident that my pictures are equalled by few, excelled by none.  Those who are in want of a first class picture, would do well to call and examine specimens before purchasing elsewhere. 

Pictures made as cheap as in any place in Vermont, and Far Better.

They all are made of double glass,

And warranted through all time to last; they will not fade, they will not spot,

There’s not a poor one in the lot.

Please remember the place, west of the Union Block, Northfield, Vt.  R. M. McIntosh, Artist.

Song Of The Sun Pictures.  McIntosh.

With old and young, with belle and baeu,

McIntosh’s Saloon is all the go,

For why?  his pictures can’t be beat

At any Art Gallery in the State.

They all are made of double glass,

And warranted through all time to last;

They will not fade, they will not spot,

There’s not a poor one in the lot.

His Ambrotypes are something new,

For which he has the Patent too;

Look in as you go up the Street.

You ne’er saw any so neat.

And Pictures with light and shade

In all their beauties—there are made

By process new; and all around

Say they’re the best that can be found.

Ask the first passer-by you meet,

About his Ambrotypes complete;

You’ll find their finished depth and tone

Equalled by few, excelled by none.

His rooms arranged with taste and care,

Bet for one thing most pleasant are;

With customers they’re crowded tight,

From six at morn till six at night.

On children of each age and size

McIntosh’s entitled to the prize;

So hurry up the little creatures,

One second, and he’ll take off their pictures.

Hasten, then, while you have a day

To McIntosh—suffer no delay,

Secure by McIntosh’s skill portrayed

A shadow ere the substance fade.

A Counterfeiter about.  A Libel.  It becomes our duty to inform the public that we have in our midst one of the most skillful counterfeiters in the country, who is busily in prosecuting his business.  His imitations are facsimiles, and are taken in the most scientific and artistic manner.  Unlike some who are called counterfeiters, he imitates not bank notes or coin, but human faces!—His saloon is west of the Union Block, Northfield, Vt., where crowds are continually in attendance to procure evidences of his skill.  But especially does he excel in his representation of children over whom he seems to exert some biological influence to rivet their attention while the process is going on, gained doubtless by long practice.  He is also legally licensed to carry on his calling, and the public universally commend his success.  Give him a call.  His name is McIntosh.

Now we propose that every citizen of Northfield shall consider himself an examining witness, to call at McIntosh’s Saloon of Art, and see if they can obtain one of these counterfeits in Northfield.  Wonder if he isn’t liable to indictment.

R, M, Mc’Intosh’s Patent Ambrotypes !  For 1859.  Having returned from Market with a well selected stock of Frames, Cases and Chemicals of the best quality, I am now prepared to take Pictures that cannot be beaten.  Having the, exclusive right to use the Patent Sealing process for Ambrotypes by which the picture is hermetically sealed between two glasses and will last for all time, I challenge any one to produce pictures by any other process that will at all compare with them in point of tone, accuracy or durability.

Remember!  The Pictures taken at this Saloon are pronounced, by artists and scientific men, unrivalled for depth of tone and softness of light and shade, while they display all the artistic arrangement of the highest efforts of the painter. 

Citizens and Strangers visiting our Saloon, can have sittings for Portraits or Miniatures, and receive them beautifully cased in Morocco, Silk, Velvet, Papier Mache, Union, or other fancy styles, or set in Lockets, Rings &c., in a few minutes.

Charges Moderate, And Likenesses Warranted To Please.

N. B.—Daguerreotypes, Paintings, Drawings, &c., copied.  Out-door Views, and Miniatures of deceased persons, taken at the shortest notice.

For Portraits of Adults by our process, and Improved Instruments, a cloudy day is quite as favorable as clear weather.  For Children, a clear day (between 11 and 2) is preferable.

In dress—avoid white, blue, or light pink.  R. M. McIntosh, Artist.

Professor McEwen, Daguerran (sic.) Artist, arrived in Santa Fe during the past week.  He is now spending a few days at Vegas Springs, to recruit his health, after which he will open rooms in this city.  Prof. McEwen comes here highly endorsed by the press as [a] most skillful artist and a clever gentleman.  The specimens of work which we have seen are neat.

As to the particular time and place of commencing operations we are not now informed.  We merely desire to give timely notice that such an “institution” is in the city, so that our citizens may have time in advance to cultivate their prettiest looks and most charming smiles, preparatory to sitting for their pictures.

Melaneotype (sic.)and Ambrotype Pictures.  I would respectfully call the attention of the good people of this city and surrounding towns to my splendid Picture Gallery.

It is due the world at large that a life or shadow of the face should be left on record.  Now if you will call on me at my rooms, I will give you a picture to be handed down to posterity; that for beauty of excellence cannot be surpassed in this or any other wooden country, and at prices that come within the reach of all.  All I have got to say come and sit for a picture, and if not fully satisfied beyond your anticipations, nothing charged.  Whether persons wish pictures or not, their call will always be acceptable.

“Prof. McEwen, the distinguished Daguerrean Artist, now on a professional visit to our town informs us that he shall remain in Homer only a few days longer, and persons in want of beautiful life-like pictures, would do well to call on him immediately.  He is an artist of [decided]  merit.”

The Judson Gallery.—Seeing it announced by parties that I am associated with various Photographic and Ambrotype Galleries in this city, and feeling that this a constant embarrassment to myself, as well as leading the public to believe that I am not really connected with any.  I have found it necessary to make an arrangement with one of these establishments.  Desirous to form one that would give the joint pictures an artistic value.  I have selected the best Operator in the city in A. Judson, No. 238 Broad st., one door above the Canal, whom I have also long considered the best Ambrotypist in the United States.

Having for a long term of years been conversant with the higher branches of the art, and constantly making it a study, my partnership with this establishment will add to the merit of the truly elegant pictures which Mr. Judson produces, and will, I feel confident, secure to this Gallery the favor of the public.  John McDougall.

John A. M’Dougall Dead.  Celebrated Artist and Father of a Family of Artists.  Newark, July 30.—John A. McDougall, for half a century famous as an artist and litterateur, died last night at his home, 151 West Kinney street.  His demise was the outcome of a long period of illness.

Mr. McDougall was born in this city eighty-seven years ago, and from boyhood was a close associate of Edgar Allen Poe, Washington Irving, Nathaniel P. Willis and others whose fame is world-wide.  These boyhood associations were continued as each developed in years and in talent, and forty years ago the little coterie comprised the most famous poet, writer and artist of the day.

At the height of his genius Mr. McDougall was considered one of the best landscape artists and colorist of the day.  He had not done any work for many years, however.  During Edgar Allen Poe’s vicissitudes Mr. McDougall remained steadfast, siding warmly with him in all his quarrels.

Mr. McDougall’s wife, an octogenarian, five sons and a daughter, survive him.  All of his sons have followed his pursuit, and each has made good use of his inherited talent.

John A. McDougall, Jr., has required renown as an artist, and maintains a studio in Paris, as well as one in this city.  Hary C. is one of the proprietors of the Sunday Call, of Newarkbutor to magazines and newspapers.  Walter McDougall is, perhaps the best known of this talented family, through his brilliant cartoons in “The World.”  Walter is also a clever writer of fiction and is President of the McDougall Publishing Company, of Newark.

The McDougall family is well known in Newark society, and Mr. McDougall’s death removes one of its most respected and revered members.
