“Secure the Shadow, ere the Substance fades.”  Ambrotypes, Photographs, And Daguerreotypes.  S. Crombaugh, Daguerrean Artist, (late of Cleveland.) would respectfully announce to the citizens of Warren and vicinity, that his Daguerrean Car is located for the present, at the corner of Market & Liberty, near the Western Reserve Bank; where he is prepared to take likenesses of all kinds, Ambrotypes, Photographs or Daguerreotypes.

The Ambrotype is taken upon white glass, and surpasses everything of the kind ever offered to the public.  There is a distinctness of outline and beauty of finish in these pictures, which present every feature with surprising clearness, and as permanent as time.  Ambrotypes taken at all times, either in pleasant or cloudy weather.

Particular attention paid to taking Likenesses in Lockets, and Pins, which he is prepared to do in the highest style of the srt, no matter how small the articles may be.

The prices will be as low as those of any other artist.

Ambrotypes.

“Blest be the art that can immortalize.

The art that baffles time’s tyrannic claim

To quench it.

Thus wrote Cowper more than a century ago, and so thinks those who, wishing thems leves to be immortalized, look into that Daguerrean Car Stationed on Market street, near Western Reserve Bank, where Mr. Crombaugh takes capital Ambrotypes.  His plan of hermetically sealing two glass plates together, with the picture between, must make the likeness imperious to air, consequently indestructible by time.  Those who wish to see themselves as others see them, should give him a call; and those who wish their pictures to look a little better than themselves, can be cheered by our experience.  

This is probably Samuel Crobaugh
