Colored Daguerreotype Miniatures.  Messrs. Ficket & Martin respectfully announce to the citizens of this place and vicinity, that having taken rooms over Mr. Prescott’s Jewelry store they are prepared to execute miniatures of all sizes, from that of a sixpence to the largest ever taken in this place—in a superior style in tone, coloring and finish—put up in fine cases or lockets, and warranted to give satisfaction.

They would say to those who have pictures taken by the old method which are either faded out, or unlifelike in color, &c., they will take them in Exchange For New Ones, or find a new plate and put them up into the case at reasonable prices.

In taking likenesses by this new method, different kinds of chemicals are made use of, and the gilding is of an entirely different and superior quality from that used formerly, by which the impression is made permanent on the plate; and the depth-like appearance, which has hitherto been the objection to Daguerreotype Likenesses, is obviated.

Our mode of operating is entirely different from that of operators who have previously visited this place.

Ladies and Gentlemen are solicited to call and examine specimens and sit for their likenesses if they chose, by way of experiment.

Those wishing to avail themselves of this opportunity will please call soon, as we shall stay but a few days only.

Likenesses taken in all kinds of weather.

Messrs. Ficket & Martin have been taking likenesses by the Daguerreotype process, at Firemen’s Hall, in this village, for the past week, with great success.  The following notice appeared in the Keeseville Republican a week or two since:  “A slight inspection of the work thrown off since their arrival in Keeseville, will at once convince any one as it has us, that they are no ordinary artists, and that none who have heretofore visited the place have been able to approach the perfection in the execution of a likeness which they display.  Many improvements have been introduced into the mode of taking pictures, of which they have availed themselves, and all their materials are of the very best quality from the celebrated establishments of Plumb[e] in New-York.  Sitters do not now have an opportunity of falling asleep in their chairs while a picture is perfecting, and what is better, a good likeness is almost invariably the result of the first trial.  It is well worth a visit to their [rooms to notice the [ ? ] their business is accomplished, and the striking clear and life-like expression that is imparted to their pictures. 

Those intending to give them a call will do well to improve an early opportunity, as they will probably leave here next week.

Mr. Editor.  A day or two since, I called with a friend up on Mr. Martin (of the firm Fickett and Martin) at their rooms, where I saw some of the finest and most finished specimens of Daguerreotype Miniatures imaginable, being far superior in many respects, to any-thing of the kind that has been done in this place previous to their coming, and equal to any done in the land; there is a clearness and life-like appearance, a softness of tone, and a richness in the coloring of their Likenesses which has not been approached by those who have preceded them—and I would say to those who may wish a lasting and suitable “present for the season” to give them a call, at 100 State st. (up stairs) in Walker’s Building.

Opinions Of The “Press” In favor of Martin’s Premium Daguerreotypes.

“Many improvements have been introduced into the work of taking pictures, of which he has availed himself, and all his materials are of the very best quality.”—Keeseville (N. Y.) Republican.

“They are of the finest and most finished specimens of Daguerreotype Miniatures—superior alike in clearness and life-like appearances, softness of tone, and richness of coloring.”—Schenectady (N. Y.)  Reflector.

“Giving our citizens an opportunity to examine specimens, and obtain of themselves or friends a Likeness that will out-rival the finest painting in finish and accuracy.”—St. Albans, (Vt.)  Messenger.

“There is a naturalness in the in the Miniatures, a perfection, a beauty we never saw equalled,”–St. Albans (Vt.)  Republican.

“His pictures are equal to any, and surpassed by none in the country.”—Glen Falls (N. Y.)  Republican.  

“They are the finest specimens of Daguerreotype Miniatures we have ever seen, and would recommend to them who have not done so, to call upon him at once.”—Kingston (N. Y.) Journal.

Those persons who may be desirous of obtaining a Likeness of themselves or friends, would do well to call soon, as my stay in this place is somewhat limited.

Now Is Your Time.   We understand that Mr. Martin, the Daguerreotypist, contemplates remaining in this village but a short time.  His miniatures are a little superior to any we have seen.  They almost induce us to believe in “Fairy Legends,” so often and so sweetly sung by the Poets—particularly by Spencer in his “Fancy Queen.”  They seem to live, to breath, to speak.  Mr. Martin is justly entitled to great credit for his unrivalled proficiency in this most beautiful and splendid art.  We have seen the Daguerreotype likenesses of Pardee in Waterbury, which are admirably fine; but we cannot say that they excel those of Mr. Martin.  We sincerely hope that he will meet with good encouragement every where, as he is eminently deserving of the most extensive patronage.  We refer our readers to his card or advertisement in another column.

Landscape Daguerreotyping.—On Wednesday of last week, our friend Martin showed us a most beautiful representation of the finest portion of our Village, taken by himself in Daguerreotype.  It included most of the public buildings—the Park—the Mansion House—the conspicuous edifices in the business part of the borough—her stately elms and other trees—and an extensive portion of the most beautiful scenery in the vicinity.  It is a most accurate and elegant specimen of the wonderful powers of the Daguerreotype, in the hands of a true artist, in landscape pencilling with beams of light.  it would constitute an exquisite parlor ornament, to hang up on the side of the wall, in the place of many of those engravings, which cannot compare with it, in any respect.

The public will find it for their benefit and gratification, to call on Mr. Martin , as soon as convenient, if they wish to have their likenesses taken; as he he contemplates remaining in this village but a short season.

For The Republican.  Sonnet, To Mr. Martin, The Daguerreotypist.

Thine is an Art, my friend, of Wond’rous power,

More than a Raphael’s pencil ever drew.

From Inspiration’s heaven-encircled bower,

All glowing bright with Hermon’s sacred dew!

With magic skill, how dost thou bring to view

Friends, lovers, kindred—all, a brilliant throng,

More lovely than the sweetest power of song!

Thou snatchest from the dark unconscious tomb

The memories of all we love below!

They seem to live, to speak, to breathe, to bloom!

As fairies’ mid the flowers of Spring-tide glow!

Accept the tribute I would fain bestow;

Though it be small, my friend, ‘tis from the heart!

O mayst thou ever prosper in thine art!   H. W.

A Card.  Mr. Martin [renders] his sincere acknowledgement to the citizens of Litchfield and vicinity for the generous patronage which has been extended to him.  His last call has gone forth and was promptly attended to.  But knowing that there are still very many who from various circumstances, could not avail themselves of his services he takes this opportunity of informing them that he leaves the business with entire confidence in the hands of Mr. J. L. Judd, who has received all necessary instructions in the art.  Comment is unnecessary—for by calling at his rooms (in the County House, up stairs,) and examining his specimens, all must be satisfied of his ability.
