Daguerreotyping. 

“Secure the shadow ere the substance Fade,

“Let nature copy that which nature made.”

Think not these portraits, by the sunlight made.  Shades through they are, will like a shadow fade; No! when the lip of flesh in dust shall lie, [eye.  When death’s cold film spreads o’er the beaming Fitzgibbon’s life-like pictures, mocking at decay, will still be fresh and vivid as to-day.

Our galleries are open from sun-rise to sun-set, at the corner of Post office and Centre streets, Galveston, and corner of Preston and Main streets, Houston, where we will be pleased to see visitors to examine specimens, whether they wish pictures or not.  For portraits of Adults, by our process and improved instruments, a cloudy day is quite as favorable as clear weather.  For children, a clear day (between eleven and two) is best.

In dress, ladies are recommended to wear figured or dark material; plaid, figured or striped dresses for children.  White, light-blue and pink, should be avoided.

Portraits, Miniatures and Daguerreotypes copied.  Views of buildings taken.  Invalids waited upon, and likenesses of deceased persons taken.  Fitzgibbon, Bourges & Stanley, Daguerrean Artists.

A specimen of Photography.—We have received, from Messrs. Fisher & Bro., daguerrean artist, No. 103 Baltimore street, a very excellent photograph of the N. E. Corner of Baltimore and North Streets, as seen from the point of view commanded by their gallery.  The office of the Daily Exchange is the focal point, and, in addition to the objects usually grouped about that interesting edifice, we have the new city railroad car standing in front, with the horses attached, but by no means such a crowd as have generally been staring at that wonderful machine.  Nothing but the interposition of the car prevents the reading of the telegrams on the bulletin board.  The artists will please receive our thanks for their attention.
