As it is expected that every one will be favored with some present on New Year’s day, the question is often a difficult one to some, what that present shall be.  Now let us make a suggestion.  Death, with his ever-moving and tireless sickle is constantly on his round, removing the loved ones from the place they now occupy, and what can be more appropriate or what would be received with more grateful emotions, than a likeness of a friend or relative?  Griffin is fully prepared to supply all calls, and in doing so, will give you a picture that cannot be excelled by any one.  A likeness to be of any value, should be correct—a faithful reflex of the “human face divine,” and such a one you can have by giving him a call.  His assortment of cases, frames, lockets, &c., is very large, embracing some of the most elegant patterns and styles we have ever seen, from one dollar to almost any price you may desire.  Mr. G. is a thorough artist, and gives his pictures a life-like appearance, and tone of finish, we have never seen equaled.

Daguerreotypes!  Griffin still remains in town, ready at a moment’s notice to transfer your shadow upon the imperishable plate of silver.  The whole process accelerated and the impression made completely perfect by the aid of that almost indispensable apparatus, the Galvanic [Hartlery] A large size Camera has been lately added with a Condenser and Metallic Reflector.  Those wishing views of Dwellings, Landscapes, or Family Groups, with dense foliage for the back ground can be accommodated at their place of residence, if desired.

By using the above apparatus every object appears in its true position the revered order as is the case with Common Camera is with the above arrangement completely avoided.  We have taken some beautiful proofs which receive the admiration of all—Nature’s own copy of Nature’s work.  A large assortment of every size and quality of Frames, cases, and Lockets, of the best workmanship, on hand at all times.

We would suggest an idea to the public—You that have aged relatives and wish to perpetuate their memory by the aid of this art, should improve the warm pleasant weather of summer.  Do not wait for a more favorable opportunity.  The “old pioneers” are dropping off like the withered leaves of autumn, and you are left at hardly a moment’s notice, without a shadow of their former existence.

M. Whitney whose name in this department of art, is his sufficient eulogy.  Messrs. Whitney & Griffins have opened an establishment in the Crystal Palace Block, Main st., just east of the Blossom Hotel, which will be under the immediate supervision of Mr. G. while Mr. W. will continue in charge of his rooms in Gould’s Block.

Daguerreotype.—We saw yesterday a superb whole size daguerreotype of Sheriff C. B. Woodworth, taken by Mr. Griffin of the Crystal Palace Daguerrian Rooms.  It is one of the strongest and best pictures we have ever seen.  It seems to stand out from the plate as if in relief.  This is a fair sample of the work turned out by Griffin, who is rapidly gaining the name and merit of rare excellence.  His rooms are favorably located for business, of which he is drawing a good share.

Crystal Palace Daguerreotype Gallery, L. V. Griffin, 79 Main st., Crystal Palace Block.  We would invite the attention of all interested in the production of fine Daguerreotypes, to this large and truly beautiful Gallery.  The rooms are very large and were arranged expressly for this business at great expense and nothing has been left undone that would contribute in the least to make every arrangement complete and as perfect as possible.  The largest and most superior Sky-Light ever constructed for this Art, is adjusted at an angle, that will admit all the light required, and the facilities are such that a sitting can be given in a remarkable short space of time at any hour and in any weather.

In fact this indispensable addition to Photographic manipulations has become so justly appreciated, that many operators from different sections are desirous of obtaining a plan of the adjustment by which to obtain what Artists style Half or Natural Tints, which cannot be procured in a perfect manner without the aid of such a Light.

Citizens and strangers are requested to call, and for proof of the above, examine specimens, and also refer to the patrons of the Crystal Palace Gallery.

“This is no Hoax.”

If it seems improbable, call and satisfy yourselves as to the truth of the assertion.  A constant attention to this art or six successive years, has won for us the enviable notoriety of producing the best Daguerreotypes, notwithstanding the “Puffs” of our neighbors in the art, written by themselves, and paid for at the rate of ten cts. per line.

Let the respective merits of each be critizied (sic.).

Pictures of every size, from the largest plate to the smallest finger-ring.

One great advantage over other Galleries, is the immense Sky-Light Pictures.

Children are taken daily in one, two and three seconds, single or in groups.  The state of the weather is no account.  A large light and superior Cameras, will conquer Stereoscopes, Crayon, Landscape, or Scenic illuminated and magic, and the vignette, are among the styles of the present method of taking Daguerreotypes.

All are invited to call and examine specimens and prices.  The latter shall be put down as cheap as the cheapest, in fancy cases or frames, and no work allowed to go out unless it suits in every particular.

The Stereoscope.  [It] has sometimes been known to our citizens, that our ingenious townsman, Mr. Dominick Peduxxi, has, after much careful experiment, made in conjunction with Mr. Albert Gregory, one of our intelligent daguerreotype artists, discovered the exact method of taking daguerreotype portraits for the stereoscope.  The few pictures he has exhibited have excited great admiration.  The flat and changeable surface of the daguerreotype, by this arrangement assumes the appearance of most exquisite statuary.  Nothing in painting or engraving is capable of producing such a result.

The whole art, tho’ not quite new, is of so recent discovery, that it may be necessary for us to explain the principle which the stereoscope involves.  Every person, who reflects on the subject, will perceive that when we look at an object with both eyes, we see two different pictures of it.  One eye sees a little more of the right side of the object, the other eye sees a little more of the left.—The image formed in each eye are as different as the aspects of the object would be, if we were to close one eye and with the other look at the object successively from two points, one of which shall be almost two and a half inches to the right of the other.  It is this double union, by which we partly look round the object, which principally gives us the idea of prominence or solidity in what we see; which enables us readily to distinguish between a real projecting body and a flat picture.  Now it is apparent that if to pictures of any body could be painted, one of which should exactly represent the picture seen by the right eye, and the other the picture of the same body as seen at the same time by the left eye; and both pictures, placed side by side , could be seen at once and as one, by aid of a pair of lenses or otherwise, the picture would produce the same imprehension (sic.) upon the sight, as the solid object itself.  Painting can never be executed exactly enough to produce this effect; but two pictures may be taken by the camera or daguerreotype process, which will very perfectly accomplish it.  The published methods of doing this, however, are far from being correct, and the results which they produce are very imperfect.

–Mr. Peruxxi has very ingeniously discovered the true method, and his pictures are, as we have said singularly beautiful.

We are induced to notice this discovery of our townsman, at the present time, by observing in the Boston Evening Traveller, an advertisement of Southworth & Hawes, in which they claim the discovery as their own, and offer a reward for the apprehension of Mr. Peduzzi as an Imposter!  It is possible that these modest gentlemen may have made them same discovery, but they really arrogate too much to themselves when they undertake to claim the sole proprietorship of it.  The discovery, being of a principle only is probably not patentable; certainly the principle, and to some extent, its exact application has been too long and too publicly known, for any person now to set up any exclusive right in it.

We leave Mr. Peduxxi to seek the legal redress to which he is entitled, and which we understand he proposes to claim, for the libels upon him; but we hope the public will not suffer itself to be imposed upon, by the arrogance of any pretenders whatever.  The new art is very beautiful in its results, and we hope it will at once come into general use.  We are sure our townsman can suffer nothing from the unjust and selfish attacks made upon him, but will ultimately derive credit, and we hope profit for his ingenuity.

New And Interesting About Daguerreotypes.  A. Gregory respectfully returns his acknowledgements to his patrons for their appreciation of good work, and is happy to announce that he has recently enlarged and refurnished his pleasant and well known establishment, No. 33 Congress Street, for the further comfort of customers—likewise to introduce  to notice [I hope] splendid new kind of Pictures On Glass, which are fast coming into vogue.  These pictures possess several valuable qualities which highly recommend them to favor, being much prized wherever they have been introduced.  They are not reversed, avoiding the double reflection of pictures on plates, as they can be seen in any light, and are made permanent enameling nearly as hard as the glass itself, rendering them even more durable than the old kind.

Mr. G. keeps a splendid assortment of Fancy Cases of rich styles, together with plain kinds at reasonable prices, including the all important requisite of a superior Likeness, which his long practice enables him to give.

Strangers in Portsmouth as well as all others, willobserve the right place to get the full worth of their money.

Daguerreotype Gallery.—We lately visited the Daguerreotype Picture Gallery of Mr. J. C. Gray, and was surprised to observe the improvement there has been made in the art.  Mr. Gray can have but few equals; his portraits are true to nature.  For fineness and strength of outline, beautiful gradations of shade, and life-like color, together with delicate tinting by means of the pencil, they excel in beauty and expression any thing of the kind we have ever seen.

Mr Gray has devoted much time in the acquirement of the art, and has spared no expense in providing himself with apparatus of the best quality.  We understand that he intends leaving town in a few days, and would advise all those wishing for a perfect likeness of themselves or friends, to call on him immediately.

We call attention to the special Notice in our paper, headed “The house that Jack built,” or rather since it has no connection with the ‘shantee’ that Webster built, to the advertisement of that distinguished Daguerrean Artist.—The aforesaid ‘shantee’ is situated, for the time being, just opposite the Capitol Hotel.  But its proprietor is a ‘fast man,’ and we are unable to say how long it or he may remain.  Those who want life-like portraitures of their dear selves, excuted in the most improved and superior manner, that the art of Daguerre admits of, had better pay an immediate visit to the ‘shantee,’ and have their good looks drawn to a focus in Webster’s glass.  If our New York correspondent was good authority, Webster got the premium at the World’s Fair, and if he did’nt, we are certain that he or our old friend and fellow citizen Goodwin, at the corner of St. Clair and Broadway, ought to have had it.

Goddard’s Daguerreotype Rooms, in Smyth’s Block, are crowded daily with those delighted with the idea of getting good pictures for 50 cents.  That it what takes in these stringent times, when the people begin to appreciate the remarks of Franklin, “a penny saved is as good as a  penny earned.”  Goddard goes for the crowd, and, as is natural, the crowd are [leased with the idea.

1856 March 15.  Manchester Daily Mirror.  (Manchester, New Hampshire.)  March 15, 1856, Vol. X, No. 25, P. 2.

“Take the Substance Ere The Shadow Flies,”  seems to be the rule of action among the throng that visit Goddard’s Daguerreotype rooms in Smyth’s Block.  They are determined to “see themselves as others see them,” and for fifty cents they can do that self same thing at Goddard’s.  Wonderful, wonderful is the magic array of Daguerreotypes.  Fifty cents will buy a likeness more perfect than a Michael Angel could have painted in a twelve-month.  Goddard “hangs his banner on the outer wall,” and bids the crowd a welcome.

Musical Daguerreotypes.—Goddard at his daguerreotype rooms in Smyth’s Block, takes great pains to give his customers their money’s worth.  It would seem that fifty cents was cheap enough for a picture, but Goddard cannot rest satisfied with that , but gets a revolving show case, of pyramidal shape, that winds up like a clock, and moves with the precision of a music box.  It sits at the entrance of the building, by the sidewalk, and attracts a crowd of visitors.  It is called Musical, though no music comes from it, because the first impression is that music will come from it.  It will be in full blast all Fast Day.

Address to the Faces of Manchester.  Fellow Citizens and Citizenesses:  I am aware that in the course of human events it becomes necessary—in times like the present, when our taxes are so high, and we are, to such an intemperate extent, interested in political affairs—concerning the “saving of this glorious Union”—that a “point of Light” be at once obtained, that we amy the more readily introduce to your notice the Camera, of our matured, and polished reflections, in such manner that the “Human face Divine” shall be bathed in liquid light; and that Shadows, shall fall only, to make more complete the translucent impressions we shall be happy to transfer to you.

The Emporium, where it is proposed to realize the virtue of the “Platform”—just cited, is to be round of course, at Goddard’s popular Daguerreotype Gallery, Smyth’s Block; where all who love their country, and believe in the final resurrection of Kansas; the nomination of Gen. Daniel Pratt—the Great American Traveler, j. c. Fremont, G. W. F. Miller, James Buchanan, Millard Fillmore ad the Chivalric P. S. Brooks, to the Presidency. Are invited to present themselves—that each may receive their “Plate” in proportion to Specie—Services rendered, during the day’s campaign.

Mr. Goddard would say that it is not him that is to be made the victim of “Ascension” on the Fourth, but some gentleman of a more flighty character.  Mr. G—,the Daguerreotypist, being willing to content himself by remaining a tax-payer for a short time longer on this mundane-sphere, providing his friends continue, as ever, to rally around.

Yours, sans desperative, J. G—

What great time we live in, What strange things are seen!

Thoughts borne on wires!  Folks carried by steam!

But the strangest of strange things that now ca be done,

Is J. Goddard taking faces by sun!

Why think you good folks!  I was walking to-day

Where stood his Daguerrean Car, just back of Gray’s,

When I ‘gan to bow and say “How d’ye do?”

And stretch out my hands to some folks I knew—

For I thought some old friends were looking at me

Though nice little holes in this Picture Gallery—

When, lo and behold! What I thought were their faces,

Turned out to be likenesses hung up in cases.

I put on my hat and held down my hand,

I felt some abashed and came to a stand;

But the more that I gazed and saw how it stood,

The less I felt’ shamed and the more I cried—good!

Of course, I marched in and looked at the man

Who could take down folks faces, omitting the tan,

Then peeped in a glass, to see how I should look,

Then—sat down—was taken—as true as a book!

Paid the money—rushed home—laid my face on the table

Then in came—no matter—my own lovely Mabel.

She gazed at me there and she gazed at me here,—

She looked at us both—then as she drew near

“What is it? what means it?”  at last she exclaimed.

I said not a word, but direct to the famed

Mr. Goddard’s Ambrotype Car

Led Lovely Mabel, securing that star.

As did I, so do ye,—each of you, all;

Let none be neglected the great nor the small;

In all weathers—at all times—the prices are low;—

To one and to all my word, Friends, is—go!

“Who can Paint like Nature?”  Mr. Emerson Goddard, daguerrean artist, of this town, has produced specimens of his craft which are creditable in the highest degree.  Among his recent portraits, of life size, is one of the late Robert Foss, of Mansfield, Connecticut, one of which may be seen in the Patriot Bookstore.  It is finished in crayon, and is not only beautiful as a work of art, but is a natural and faithful representation of the subject.  The art of painting life-like portraits by the eye and brush is one of the most difficult in the whole realm of art, and few have excelled therein.  It was not until Louis Jacques Maude Daguerre, the eminent French painter, discovered and improved the photographic process, in 1838-1839, that truthful “counterfeit presentments” of the human face became common and accessible to all.  Daguerre died July 12, 1851.  His name and fame must forever remain indissolubly connected with the wonderful art.

People who desire to see a faithful picture by a creditable imitator of M. Daguerre, should examine this portrait of Mr. Foss, which will remain in the Patriot Bookstore for a brief time.

Mr. Emerson Goddard, the photographer, has broken ground on the north side of Hamlet Avenue, for the purpose of putting up a house.  Messrs Rickard & Prary are builders, and the work is let out to them by contract.  The style of the house is what is known as the “American cottage.”  It will contain about eleven rooms and will be 35 x 30 feet in extent, with a barn at the rear, 30 x 20.  It will cost when completed about $5,000.

Mr. Glen’s Daguerreotypes.  The Daguerreotypist of Charleston are avowedly some of the first artists in the State.  Their galleries contain specimens of the success with which they have labored in their art, of the most pleasing and convincing nature.  Among these Artists, Mr. D. L. Glen, of King street, ranks deservedly high.  The improvements he has made of late are very important, one of which has enabled him to obtain such complete mastery of lights and shades, that he can effect as vivid a likeness in days of gloom as in days of sunshine.  In his Galler are to be found most striking portraits of many of our leading citizens, who though absent from the spot really seem to speak to their friends.  During the past week Mr. Glen has added to his fame by the production of two large-sized portraits, the one representing Signor Novelli, the eminent Barytone, and the other Signor Gambati, the famous Musician.  As works of arts these portraits are likely long to remain unsurpassed.

A Card.  That part of the community who are in the habit of reading advertisements, must be somewhat surprised to find two Daguerreotypist proclaiming that each had the first Premium awarded to him at the late Fair.  Now I ask no more than I have merited, and I leave the public to judge.  The Committee in awarding Premiums made the following public announcement:  “To J. M. Osborn, a Silver Medal, for the best composition Daguerreotypes; To D. L. Glenn, for the best Daguerreotype Heads.”  These were the precise words used in awarding the Premiums, and I make o hesitation in assuming as mine was the first Premium awarded by the committee, and that for a superior branch of Daguerreotyping, that it was intended, as I certainly think all must understand it, that the first Premium was awarded to me.  J. M. Osborn, 233 King-st.

Julia Dean Daguerreotype.  On Calling in to D. L. Glen’s Gallery, 221 King-street, I was shown there the finest production in the line of Daguerreotyping I ever saw.  Being an artist myself, and having seen others in the different Northern cities, I must, with pleasure say, that finer pictures are taken there, that in any city in the United States, or in the world.

It was the likeness of Miss Julia Dean, also, a group of Miss Julia and sister.  I find him assisted by S. Jenkins, from Richmond, Virginia, of Whitehurst’s Gallery.  He is acknowledged by the best Northern Artists to be ahead in his line.

A Day At The Fair.  The number of new contributors pouring in is still so great, that several tables examined by us on Thursday presented quite a strange aspect on Friday…

We are next attracted to some fine specimens of the Daguerrean art—an art in which our State has attained a deserved distinction from the degrees of excellence manifested by our leading operators.

The Gallery of D. L. Glen, 221 King-street, represented by a fine case, containing specimens of groups, portraits, and copies from prints.  Of the new and later additions to his collection, we noticed the portraits of Cr. Dewey, and Miss Eliza Logan.

J. T. Zealy of Columbia, one of the best, if not the very best of our Daguerrean artists, of the interior, has contributed some very fine specimens.  We readily recognize his Excellency Governor Adams, and Chancellor Wardlaw; the portrait of the latter, however, is marked “Chancellor Dargan”—a case of “individual misapprehension,” which shows a singular freak of optics, and would be unpardonable in a sheriff. 

Mr. Cohen sends a case from his Daguerrean rooms, corner of King and Liberty-sts.

Geo. S. Cook sends from his well known rooms a fine collection, in all styles of the art, including the new process of oil photographs on paper.

Young American on Two Sticks.  Master Benson A. English, the young drum-major—or shall we say drum—minor—who beats anything of his size and shape, with two sticks on a sheepskin, will give a concert and entertainment this evening at the institute Hall.  It is sufficient to say that he visits our city in accordance with a letter of invitation signed by many leading and influential citizens, who remember the gratification experience from his performances here two years since.  On that occasion, which was his first public appearance, we believe in a Southern city, Master Benson was received with lively tokens of welcome, and honored by many demonstrations in the form of presents.  Among others we may note, a uniform from the Cadets of the Citadel, which the little major has worn with much gratification,—a goblet and salver from the Washington Light Infantry, a uniform from the Vigilant Fire Engine Company, a silver knife and fork from Capt. Berry, then in command of the steam ship Marion, now of the Nashville, and a silver trumpet from the German Fire Engine Company.  His Honor, the Mayor, and many citizens also testified their admiration in many forms, and on the same tour he was received with equal approval by Gov. Manning, and the citizens of our Capital generally.  This has been indeed his well deserved fortune in all cities where he has appeared.

Many of the tokens and presents received by the little Major, including one from the widow of President Polk, and one from President Pierce, may now be seen at the store of James E. Spear, on King, opposite Haskell-street.  The prizes to be distributed after the first concert, are also on exhibition there.  Our well known daguerrean artists, Osborn of 233 King-street, and Glen of 221 King-street, have taken excellent daguerreotypes, which may be seen in their collections of specimens…

Colored Photographs.  We were much pleased yesterday with a colored photograph we had an opportunity of inspecting, which exhibits a new and most effected model of adding the advantages of color and hue to the photograph without destroying the peculiar delicacies of the original impression.  The coloring was executed by Mrs. E. M. Link, whose ingenious and highly meritorious skill in Grecian painting, leather work, and other branches of ornamental elegance we have had previous occasions to notice, and who occupies rooms at the S. E. corner of King and Hasell streets, (over the store of Calder, Browne & Co.) for the purpose of giving instruction in these arts.  The photograph in this case was taken by Glenn, in the usual excellent style of his gallery.

The Gallery of Paintings at the Institute.

“All that imagination’s power could trace,

Breathed in the pencil’s imitative grace,

Portrayed each pulse, each passion’s might revealing,

Sorrow and joy, life, hatred, fear, and strife.”
