1852 October.  Photographic Art-Journal.  (New York, New York.) October 1852, Vol. IV, No. 4, P. 257.

To The Editor of the Pho. Art-Journal:  Mr. H. H. Snelling—Sir; I see by a notice in the last Journal that the N. Y. State Daguerrean Association is to convene in your city, Oct. 6th.  I have watched the progress and reports of these meetings with much interest for two reasons; first, hoping that much good might result from associated efforts, and that a friendly interchange of views and a fraternal reciprocity would help to do away with that selfishness, which has been to predominant among daguerreans; a selfishness as characteristic of the profession as of inventors of quack medicines and cure-all-receipts.  Honorable exceptions there are, however, to these charges, which a generous charity demands us to allow, exceptions which I have happily witnessed, and for which I have felt grateful.

Secondly, I have been anxious to know whether female operators are to share its friendship and receive of its benefits.  From the silence maintained on the subject, I have inferred that we were not cordially welcome into the fraternity, that we were either not considered competent to perform the labor with honor to the profession or were stepping beyond our appropriate sphere and practicing an innovation; I am not disposed to reiterate the claim to equality of the sexes so often made the theme of remark in these days of progression; but if the above is the case, I would simply ask if female talent and genius have not been sufficiently developed to warrant the idea that the intricacies of the art, and its perplexities may not be overcome by the quick perceptions and patient perseverance of the female mind.  A quickness of apprehension and a ready judgement are necessary requisites, and does woman fail in these?  Has she not a love for the beautiful equally as strong, also as good taste for artistic arrangement?  What though she may not have threaded the analytical mazes of chemistry, can she not judge of cause and effect so far as her knowledge has extended.  Does the host of daguerreans who are traversing the country understand the science perfectly; many of whom will curl the lip with contempt at the idea of a lady taking daguerreotypes.  Permit me to respectfully request you, if not inappropriate, to obtain an expression of the Association on this subject, by resolution or otherwise, that I and others who are practicing, may know that we have the sympathy and good wishes of wise and competent minds.  If it be a lucrative employment may we not share in its profits?  If an honorable profession may we not try to win the laurals?  If it be an art designed to elevate and inspire the mind with a love of the beautiful and an admiration of the great source of all wisdom and beauty, the fountains of light, who can more readily appreciate it, than the cultivated and refined sensibilities of women?  Yours, &c.  Marcelia W. Barnes.       

Our fair correspondent is right, and we will venture to answer for it, she is as fully entitled to the benefits of the Association as any member of the profession.  There is no clause in the Constitution or By-laws that debars and lady daguerrean from membership; on the contrary, we know that the liberal members—they are  all so—of the Association desire the countenance and assistance of the female portion of our daguerreans.  Our correspondent has  only to observe the form for admission as laid down in the By-laws to become, we feel sure, a Mamber of the N. Y. State Daguerrean Association.

Art…Cincinnati, O., April 3, 1857…Having been in this city for some time taking lessons in coloring photographs.  Photography here is in the hands of those well calculated to do honor to the profession.  The 25 cent advertisements often meet the eye; yet those Galleries which maintain an honorable price are sustained.  The Galleries of J. P. Ball, J. Porter, Faris & Hawkins, with their courteous and gentlemanly proprietors, are an honor to any city, and Cincinnati may well be proud of her artistic reputation, as well as many of her other characteristics.  An enlightened community are always sure to sustain and encourage true genius, and the more so, as they rise in the scale of mental wealth and intellectual cultivations.  Marcelia W. Barnes.

In an article entitled the Photographic Galleries of America.  Number One, New York. The author visited 69 Galleries in New York City.

J. T. Barnes — A general dimness and want of sharpness is the general feature of these specimens, which is a fault scarcely excusable that being one so easily overcome. It is strange

artists are not more careful what pictures they expose as specimens. In some galleries I have seen pictures which can hardly be called shadows. If a picture is sharp many faults are over-looked. No picture lacking sharpness and depth of tone should be hung up as a specimen. Some pictures I have seen stand forth boldly from their backgrounds, and I was not obliged to keep my head going from one side to the other of the plate in order to make out the contours, though as to other particulars they were perhaps quite as bad. There are some fine local views in this gallery which show great delicacy.

Daguerreotype Art—Improved.  Perfect Likenesses Of Children Or Adults, By C. Barnes & Brother.  We would say to our friends of Macon and surrounding country, that we have neatly furnished a room in the Eagle Hotel (up stairs) for the purpose giving those wishing perfect likenesses of themselves or friends an opportunity of obtaining them.  The new improvement will enable us to take perfect likenesses of Children of any age.  Gentlemen are respectfully invited to call and examine specimens. They would do well to call soon as our stay will be short.  C.& W. Barnes.

1854 October 30.  Alabama Planter.  (Mobile, Alabama.)  October 30, 1854, Vol. VIII, No. 48, P. 2.

Daguerreotyping.—Our Daguerreotype artists have been making improvements for an extensive business the coming winter.

The art, we believe, was first introduced into Mobile by Mr. Barnes, who attained great distinction in it.  Indeed, we believe, it may be said that his success has been so great that he has accumulated a fortune.

He was followed by numerous other persons, but the only establishments besides his are those of the Messrs. Stanton and Mr. Marks.  The former have their rooms on the south side of Dauphin way, entering by the same steps which lead to the printing office of the Tribune.  They have erected a large glass front, which will enable them to obtain an excellent light for their operations.

Mr. Marks, at the southeast corner of Dauphin and Royal streets, has been here about a year.  He comes from Baltimore with the prestige of success and one or two medals from the great fairs.  He has also changed the externals of the building he occupies and has made a large skylight which is very complete.  His rooms are elegantly fitted up, and the numerous pictures which decorate his walls are a sufficient proof of his great skill in the art.  He has a series of very striking Daguerreotype views of San Francisco, taken by himself, and exhibiting that place by sections which, joined together, make a complete picture of the entire city, in which the minutest detail of every house tree, and street, and shipping, &c., is given with surprising clearness.  The name on some of the signs can be easily read by the naked eye. 

We are satisfied that there are o more exquisitely executed pictures any where than those which our Daguerreotypists are ready to take; and we commend them to our country friends who, doubtless, this winter will liberally patronize this very beautiful art.  Let them visit the galleries of our artists and see how difficult it is to resist the desire to have their pictures taken.

1858 May 6.  The Prairie News.  (Okolona, Mississippi.)  May 6, 1858, Vol. VI, No. 34, P. 3.

C. Barnes, Mobile, Ala.  This gentleman takes the most perfect pictures of any artist we ever saw.  Ambrotypes, Daguerreotypes, and Photographs are taken small or life size.  He can take a life size photograph from a miniature half an inch in diameter, and when a picture is finished off by him, it looks more like a human being than a mere representation.  Indeed, his pictures are naturally beautiful (so far as the execution is concerned) and beautifully natural.

1858 May 6.  The Prairie News.  (Okolona, Mississippi.)  May 6, 1858, Vol. VI, No. 34, P. 3.

C. Barnes, Photograph & Ambrotype Gallery, Nos. 46, 48, and 50 Dauphin Street, Mobile, Ala.  Photographs made life size from Daguerreotypes or Ambrotypes equally as well as from life, which surpass both in beauty and durability the most exquisite Portrait Painting.  Call and see specimens.

Photographs.  Life Size, On Canvas.  I would most respectfully state to the citizens of Mobile that I am now fully prepared and am taking Life Size Photographs, beautifully colored in Oil, the patent of which I am the sole Proprietor for the city of Mobile.

I have enlarged my establishment: by adding a new suite of Rooms, next East of my Daguerrean Gallery, neatly fitted up with an Improved Skylight, expressly for Photographic purposes.

During the last summer I have made myself fully acquainted with all improvements pertaining to the art, and carefully selected with great expense, Cameras, Pantescopes, etc., etc., of the best quality, together with a good assortment of Frames of the neatest style.

I would also state that I have been successful in procuring the services of the best Artists in the country, which enables me to guarantee my Pictures permanent, and as beautiful in Finish as the Art is susceptible of, colored in Water, Oil or Pastel.

Persons having old Daguerreotypes or Ambrotypes of departed friends, can have them copied.  Life, Cabinet, or Miniature Size, colored in all the freshness and vigor of animated nature.

I have fixed my terms, corresponding with New York prices, so as to enable all to ornament their parlors with family portraits, which have become so popular at the North.  Please call and examine specimens.  Rooms Nos. 46 and 48 Dauphin Street, Mobile.  Jan. 1858.          C. Barnes.

We thank Mr. C. Barnes, of Mobile, Ala., for a photograph of General Walker.  The picture is very well executed, and we must say, Mr. B’s powers of discrimination, in pandering tastes, are as nice as his artistic skill is accurate; for we would have chosen the picture of the grey eyed patriot in preference to any other in his extensive gallery.
