Don’t You Want a Likeness?  It will be seen by advertisement that Mr. J. Crafts, Daguerreotypist, has arrived in our town, and now occupies the spacious room over the store of Kahn Brothers.  Mr. C. makes use of all the late improvements; and his portraits are remarkably correct and beautiful; as his stay amongst us will be for a short period, we advise our readers to give him an early call, that their own, and features of those whom they love, may be stamped upon the silvered plate by Nature’s great artist, and preserved for eyes to behold, of faithful and loving hearts, long after the real image has gone down to the grave.  No family should be without a Daguerreotype likeness of all the members connected with it.

Mr. Craft’s Daguerreotype Saloon.  Numbers of our citizens have visited the Saloon of this gentleman since he has been here, both to admire his beautiful and life-like pictures and to have their own faces sketched upon the faithful plate.  Many as have patronized Mr. C., we have not yet heard a single word of complaint, but on the contrary, can testify to expressions of high commendation in his favor.  Since he has been here, he has had very unfavorable weather for his business, and as he contemplates leaving some time next week, we would advise those who would like to have their images handed down to posterity, to call upon him as soon as possible.

Daguerreotypes, , , ,

1840                Corner of Lodge Alley and Eighth Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

1840 July 4.  The Newport Mercury.  (Newport, Rhode Island.)  Vol. LXXIX, No. 4,082, P. 1.

The manner in which daguerreotype miniature likenesses are taken is thus described in the Mechanics’ Magazine.

Mr. Cornelius and Dr. Goodman (sic.) are now occupied at their establishment corner of Lodge Alley and Eighth Sts. Philadelphia, in taking likenesses, which are about seven by five inches in neat metallic gilt frames, and, are taken for five dollars.  As the likenesses are true the owners are, very often, too little flattered by the sun to be pleased with his painting, but as a French artist said to a friend of mine who complained that he had made him look like an assassin, the hellographist might reply “Sir, that is not my fault.”

The mode of proceeding of Dr. Goodman (sic.) and Mr. Cornelius is in this wise: out of the window of their room having a southern exposure, is projected horizontally, and at full length, a large looking glass to receive the rays of the sun, which are thrown up against another large mirror, so slanted, as to throw the light against the person whose likeness is to be taken, sitting at the opposite side of the room with his face to the window.  To soften the intence light thrown on the face by the mirrors, which would otherwise be intolerable, there is, suspended from the ceiling, a circular glass plate about three eights of an inch thick, of a very deep purple tinge, (which had once been used in the laboratory of the distinguished chemist, Dr. Hare,) for exciting electricity.

When the operate is seated on his chair, and subjected to the light transmitted through the purple glass, you would suppose all Mr. Cornelius wished was to make the fellow “look blue” but he will be relieved from such apprehension very soon, as it is only necessary to sit half a minute, or perhaps a minute, till the sun has, by his powerful pencil, trans mixed every lineament of your features with all their beauties and blemishes, in imperishable lines upon the plate of silver.  Before the person, and about four feet in front of him is a bureau, on top of which, is a mahogany tube or box, six or seven inches square and eighteen inches long open at both ends.  I the end next to the person (to be represented) is fixed a double convex lens about the size of a common burning glass, by which the figure of the face and bust is diminished to the proper size for the plate of silver on which the likeness is to be fixed.—When the person is seated, the, strong light is thrown from the mirrors through the purple plate upon the face, and bust and reflected thence through the lens and box and is transmitted to the plate of prepared silver fixed at the other end of the box.  Half a minute or more is sufficient to trace imperishably the delineation of the plate.

We copy the following from a Dubuque, Iowa, paper. Messrs. Corey & Pickerill succeed Mr. W. H. White. We wish them prosperity in their new enterprise:

Corey & Pickerill’s Daguerreotypes. — We feel that we owe something of an apology to the above gentlemen, inasmuch as we have never noticed the superior excellence of their pictures, and the tasteful elegance of their rooms, as they deserve. Amongst all the operators in this line of business, who have visited Dubuque, it is doing them but simple justice to say, that they have never been surpassed in the tone, superior finish, and uniform excellence of their daguerreotypes. Their rooms are most conveniently and tastefully arranged, and they have a large collection of specimen plates, embracing many of our prominent citizens, and our most interesting and beautiful ladies. Their operating room combines the advantages of both sky and side lights, with apparatus for directing it at the will of the operator. The public will find themselves warmly welcomed by the gentlemanly proprietors, and we consider a visit to Messrs. Corey & Pickerill’s ” National Daguerrean rooms,” as one of the chief attractions of the city
