Photographs In Oil. This beautiful style of picture has been brought to great perfection, as may
be witnessed by looking at the likeness of Mr. Geo. P. Sanborn at the store of J. C. Blackman,
and that of Rev. Dr. Hewit at the store of P. B. Segee. The coloring is beautiful, and would do
honor to artist of greater pretensions than Messrs. Naramore & Curtis, while the likenesses we
think, could hardly be excelled by any. They may truly be called ‘master-pieces’ of portrait
painting. Go and see them; and if you want a correct picture, one that really looks life-like, call
on Naramore, at his rooms, No. 220 (sic.) Main st.
