Ambrotype Miniatures, The subscriber would respectfully call the attention of the public to his New and Beautiful style of Miniatures at my Gallery.
The superiority of the Ambrotype over the Daguerreotype are as follow:
1st. The Picture is not reversed
2d. It can be seen in any angle of light
3d. It is impervious to water, air, or dust, the two glasses being cemented together with fir balsam.
4th. The length of setting is so short, that there is no difficulty in getting a good expression.
I will state for the information of those that wish to procure the genuine Ambrotype that there are but two rooms, besides my own in Boston where they are made, all the rest are imitation. B. F. Campbell, No. 145 Hanover Street, corner of Union.

Cutting’s Patent Ambrotypes. B. F. Campbell, No. 145 Hanover Street, Boston. Is now prepared to take pictures of all varieties, from large Frames to small Lockets and Pins, at moderate prices.
The Ambrotype being hermetically sealed between two plates of fine glass, are proof against the action of water, acids or the variations of climate, and are the only Picture that remain unchanged by time.
They are not reversed: can be seen in any light, are bold and clear in effect, and beautiful tone. They can also be taken in a few seconds, rendering them far preferable for children and those who cannot bear strong lights.
These Pictures seem destined to supersede all others now in use, and none are genuine unless stamped “Cutting’s Patent.”
