Photographic Miniature Rooms, No. 123 Washington Street, over Lows, Ball and Company.  The subscriber begs leave to call the attention of the public to specimens of Daguerreotype Miniature Portraits executed by him.  He has recently made some highly successful experiments, by which the time required in sitting is materially lessened, while the distinctness and legibility of the portrait is increased.  The fidelity to the original which marks these miniatures, and the ease and rapidity with which they are taken, render them superior to all other portraits.

Persons desirous of making themselves acquainted with the Photographic process, may receive such instructions as will enable them to take portraits, drawings, &c. In a very brief space of time.  A. E. Emerson, Proprietor.
