1844 April 24.  Edgefield Advertiser.  (Edgefield, South Carolina.)  April 24, 1844, Vol. IX, No. 13, P. 3.

Daguerreotype.  M. M. Coburn from Savannah, and recently from Augusta, respectfully informs the citizens of Edgefield, that he will remain hear a short time for the purpose of taking Daguerreotype Miniatures.  He brings testimonials of the highest attainments in the art, but the best recommendation is the work itself.  The pictures are not now as formerly, defaced by the touch, but are made permanent by being gilded, they are therefore more durable than any kind of painting.  They are also colored, which makes them all that can be expected or desired in the art. The public are respectfully invited to call and examine specimens.      Rooms at the court House.
