Daguerreotype Miniatures At One Half Of The Usual Prices.  R. Laphaw, pupil of T. H. Darling, Boston, has taken a room in the Town Hall Charlestown, where he will wait upon those who wish his splendid Miniatures.  He is acquainted with every improvement that has lately been made in the art, and is able to produce First Rate likenesses in a few seconds—so that a person, in a few minutes after entering his room, can have a perfect miniature of himself, produced by Nature’s unerring pencil.

The public are respectfully invited to call.

Instruction given in the Art, and Apparatus furnished.

Miniatures fitted into Lockets or any size.—Groups of two or more persons taken, if requested.
