We have seen some of the pictures made at the “Sky-Light Gallery, corner Main and Markham streets, and must say that for depth of tone, correctness of expression, and for that nice gradation of light and shades that is the life and soul of a picture they are equal to any we have ever seen in large cities.

Photographic Portraits.—Those who have not visited Hines’ gallery lately, have a treat in store.  The full size portraits taken by his instruments and afterwards painted in oil are remarkable for their fidelity to the originals.  A cabinet portrait of Capt. Pike is as good a likeness as we ever saw anywhere or of any person.  Hines can take as good pictures as any artist in his line and work cheaply.   Go see his collection.

1859 December 1.  Arkansas True Democrat.  (Little Rock, Arkansas.)  December 1, 1859, Vol. 16, No. 8, P. 2.

Photographs Colored in Oil.  We have, elsewhere, noticed the portraits by Mr. Jackson, the artist.

Mr. Hines, whose daguerrean gallery is so well known and whose skill is so universally acknowledged, is now taking life-size photographs, and has these colored in oil by Mr. Jackson, so as to combine the correctness of the photograph with the exquisite coloring of a true artist.  Several of our citizens have pictures of this kind taken that are absolutely startling from their resemblances to the original, and if the artist could but endow them with speech he would become a second Prometheus.

Those who desire to secure a likeness correct as to feature and color should secure one of these.  They excel anything we have ever seen or read of.  There is no hyperbole in this notice—if the reader thinks so, let him go judge for himself.  Besides these colored photographs, there are others, of prominent members of the General Assembly, of different sizes that are worth a visit to those who wish to see the perfection that can be arrived at.—Rooms, up stairs in the State Bank, opposite the capitol.

1860 May 12.  Arkansas True Democrat.  (Little Rock, Arkansas.)  May 12, 1860, Vol. 17, No. 22, P. 2.

Our Arkansas Gallery.—For a year or more we have been collecting pictures of places and prominent persons in Arkansas, and have succeeded in getting up quite a little gallery.  Among others, we are indebted to Mr. E. A. Hines, for an excellent likeness of Capt. Pike, and to Mr. Wm. Batt, the daguerrean artist for some views.  One is a view of the Woodruff building, another of the Ashley mansion in this city, and still another of the city of Napoleon in this State. 

Mr. Batt’s establishment is on Markham street, on the corner of the block above  the post-office, where he furnishes excellent ambrotypes for 25 and 50 cents.
