Daguerreotype Gallery.  H. L. Dunshee & Brother would respectfully inform the Ladies and Gentlemen of Taunton and vicinity that they have taken a Room in Washburn’s Block, opposite School Street, formerly occupied by Mr. Hopkins, where we would invite Ladies and Gentlemen to call and examine specimens of our work.  We hope that they will not forget that life is the time to secure a perfect Likeness, and those who wish for a correct facsimile of their own person, or friends, which, under the trying circumstances of a final-separation from friends, no price can purchase, can have the same by calling at our Room.  Having had long experience in the business, we feel assured that we shall not fail to suit the most difficult.  Likenesses taken single or in Groups.                       

Advertisement ran from December 20, 1849 to January 9, 1850.
