The Fine Arts!  Mr. T. Pearson, Who formerly occupied the Daguerreotype Rooms at 128 Merrimack-St., and Mr. B. C. Hazelton, who has just left the Rooms at Wentworth’s Building, would respectfully inform the citizens of Lowell and vicinity, that through the earnest solicitations of their friends who are anxious that they should take their Miniatures have fitted up splendid rooms at No. 82—Merrimack—St.—No. 82, (Under Concert Hall,)  Where they would be happy to see their former friends and patrons and the citizens generally.—As to the quality of their Miniatures, all that is necessary to say is that they will take them as perfect as ever, that is to say, they will give perfect satisfaction in all cases, or no charge will be made.

Their prices for taking Pictures of different sizes, in cases, and from taking them from Busts, Engravings, Corpses, Invalids, and for inserting Miniatures, in Lockets, Pins, or Rings, will be cheaper than at any other Rooms in this city.

Don’t Forget The Place!—No. 82 Merrimack-St., “Concert Hall” Building, up first flight of stairs—Entrance to the Rooms, first door on the left hand side, at the head of the stairs.  T. Pearson,  B. C. Hazelton.
