Reader, Do you want perfect pictures of yourself or friend?  If so call at Howe’s and get one of his Sphereotype, that put all other pictures in the shade.  If you do not just look in up on him some day and examine specimens of Sphereotype, Ambrotypes, Daguerreotypes & Photographs.

He will be happy to see you, and exert himself to make your call agreeable.

C. L. H. has had more experience as a Daguerreotypist than any other artist in the State.  He is now located permanently at Brattleboro, where he has the largest and best arranged light in the country, and instruments for taking pictures from miniature to life size.  He would invite particular attention to his unusual facilities for copying Daguerreotypes and other Pictures.  Also for taking Landscape views, &C.  Having instruments peculiarly adapted to that kind of work he promises to do it in a manner not to be surpassed.

Persons wishing instructions in any of the various branches of the art will do well to call on him as there is no part of the chemical process he is not perfectly conversant with.  Terms moderate.
