Daguerreotype Miniatures.—Mr. Maxham, of the firm of Maxham & Gorman, of Nantucket, has taken rooms at the house of Mr. James M. Nye, in this village, as will be observed by his advertisement in today’s paper, and will remain here for a short time. He brings with him numerous testimonials of his skill and success in taking correct and expressive likenesses, in the form of beautiful miniatures taken on former occasions. These display excellent taste and judgement in their coloring, drapery, attitude, etc. We have seen also a few that have been taken within a few days which are justly considered true copies of their originals. We hope our citizens will avail themselves of the present opportunity to obtain miniatures, for a trifling expense.

Take Notice, that our friend Chase proposes to make single glass pictures. Why this condemnation to what he calls humbug!
The only place to procure the genuine improved Ambrotype on double glass, is at B. D. Maxham’s. He will tell you the truth and nothing but the truth; that in his opinion the Daguerreotype is far more durable, being composed entirely of mineral substances, whereas the Ambrotype is vegetable. As for the patent, it was given up six months since Mr. Cutting, as also was the use of gum. The only way to seal up a picture to make it permanent, is to seal them up in tin boxes, the same as sardines are sealed.

1856 November 25. Worcester Daily Spy. (Worcester, Massachusetts.) November 25, 1856, Vol. XI, No. 277, P. 2.
We see by the Spy of Nov. 18th, that B. D. Maxham wants the public to take notice that friend Chase proposes to make single pictures, and wants to know why this condescension to what he calls humbug. I have never have called the single glass picture a humbug; what I call humbuging the community is, for a man professing what he does, to deceive the public by selling a single glass picture, and telling them that it is an Ambrotype, when he knows that it is not, and never can be an Ambrotype. He knows very well what constitutes an Ambrotype, and he knows that to make it an Ambrotype, it must be sealed between two plates of glass with Fir Balsam, or its equivalent. He knows that he has not a right to take the Ambrotype picture, and therefore cannot take them, but if he can deceive and impose upon the public by misrepresentation and deception, it will answer his base purpose. In his advertisement he says, that he will tell the truth and nothing but the truth, but he forgets to tell the whole truth for he says that the patent was given up some six months ago by Mr. Cutting, as also the use of gum. Now, if his object was not to deceive, why did he not tell that Mr. Cutting surrendered his patent and applied for re-issue and got it, against the combined forces of the Daguerreotypist, who brought every thing to bear against it which they possibly could, to break it down and prevent a re-issue, but it proved a decided failure. The government granted a re-issue covering the whole ground; and now, if he can dupe and deceive the public by telling them that his pictures are Ambrotypes, he will not hesitate to do it. Now where is the deception? why does he wish to impose upon the public by selling a spurious article for a genuine? Can there be any thing manly in this? Does this look like having a just regard for other people’s rights? I leave it with the public to decide, and will say that the only place where you can get a genuine Ambrotype, is at Chase & Welch’s rooms in Foster’s Block, No. 222 Main street. We have the exclusive right for taking Cutting’s patent Ambrotypes, for the City of Worcester, and all pictures emanating from any other room in the city, called Ambrotypes, are spurious and worthless. Chase & Welch.
