1845 October 16.  New York Commercial Advertiser.  (New York, New York.)  October 16, 1845, Vol. XLVIII, P. 2.

Fair Of The American Institute.  Ninth Day…

Of Daguerreotypes there is an endless variety.  One of the finest that we ever saw is the panoramic view of Niagara Falls, taken from the Clinton house, Canada side.  The very spray from the tumbling waters appears to be rising before you, and any one who has ever visited the falls will recognize the scenery at a glance.  This picture is the work of Mr. Langenheim of Philadelphia.  There are also some finely marked portraits and a view near the City Hall credited to Langenheim & Recker, [sic.] the work, we presume, of the same artist.  Plumbe of this city has some excellent portraits.  Among them is a frame containing likenesses of the present members and officers of the Common Council, which any one acquainted with the originals will recognize at once.  How life-like is “Old Hays”; you feel an involuntary inclination to ‘pull off your hat,” the moment it is seen.  The portraits of P. Haas, M. M. Lawrence, M. B. Brady, E. & G. H. Morand, and very finely finished.  In fact all or nearly all exhibited are pictures which furnish abundant evidence of the still continued improvement in the art.  The other exhibitors, so far as we could ascertain them through the crowd that always surrounds this portion of the exhibition, are Mr. Shankland, T. S. Walsh, Perry, Brothers & Co., J. P. Weston, A. F. Thompson, J. T. Tracy, S. Hart, Meade& Brothers, G. R. Spellman, and Walker & Garritt, (of Albany.)
