Daguerreotypes, That are Daguerreotypes.  It is an acknowledged fact, that Cooley’s Daguerrian Gallery is a little ahead of all others in this country, and it is so admitted by Artists and the traveling public.  No pains or expense have been spared in fitting-up this establishment, and the arrangement of rooms, sky-light and extensive apparatus cannot be improved.  The sky-light was built expressly for the business after a design by one of the best Architects in the country, and pictures taken under this light cannot be surpassed for the fine and beautiful effect of light and shade, and the life-like expression of the eyes.

O. H. Cooley & Co. Have the honor of announcing to the public, that they have secured the services of Mr. A. Litch, formerly of the firm of Litch & Whipple, Boston, one of the oldest, most experienced, and successful operators in this country, and they are now prepared to give their patrons pictures that cannot be excelled in this place, or any of the larger cities in those qualities that make a good Daguerreotype.  Mr. L. has operated at some of the best establishments in Boston, New York and Philadelphia, and we can commend him to the public for his gentlemanly demeanor as well as for his qualities as a scientific Artist.

O. H. C. & Co. Have obtained in addition to their other apparatus a new instrument expressly for taking Children’s pictures, which requires only a sitting of a few seconds.

They would return thanks for the liberal patronage which has been bestowed upon their establishment, and hope, by unceasing endeavors to please, to merit a continuance of the patronage of a generous public.

Just received, a new lot of Daguerreotype materials, among which we have White’s Scovill’s and the “Star” and Phenix” brands of French Plates, and all other kinds in use.  New and beautiful patterns of Cases, Lockets of all kinds and every variety of Settings, and in fact everything used in the Art can be found at our Sales Room where Prof Atwater will be in attendance.

…N. B.—Mr. Litch being a practical Chemist, would inform those who wish to use his Chemical preparations that they can be obtained at the Sales Room of O. H. C. & CO.

‘Of those for whom we fond emotions cherish,

Secure the shadow ere the substance perish.’

Mr. Appleby respectfully informs the Ladies and Gentlemen of Binghamton and vicinity, that he has taken rooms corner of Court and Water Streets, opposite the Binghamton Hotel, over K. Smith’s Grocery Store, where he is prepared to take Daguerreotype Portraits in a superior manner.  Having, by long experience in the business, become thoroughly acquainted with all the improvements in the art, both in this country and in Europe, together with some valuable discoveries in Chemistry, he is enabled to guarantee a Likeness not to be surpassed at any of the most celebrated Galleries in the U. S.—giving any desirable shade of color in any position, or in any dress, richly colored, or plain.

Ladies and Gentlemen and the public in general are respectfully invited to call and examine his specimens.  Mr. A. wishes it perfectly understood, that he takes Likenesses in all kinds of weather, and in all cases warranted perfect, or no charges made.  He would also state that his time here is limited, and admonish those who wish life-like fac-similes of themselves or friends, not to miss the present opportunity.

P. S.  Children will be taken in from 3 to 4 seconds.

Important to the Citizens of Penn-Yan and Vicinity!  R. B. Appleby, the Proprietor of the Rochester National Daguerrean Gallery, Who stands so deservedly at the head in that City, where, perhaps, there is more rivalry in this new and beautiful Art than in any other place West of the City of New York, and S. Wood, who has been so eminent in the above named establishment for the past year, and who brings to the aid of the Art a very comprehensive mechanical genius; have formed a collation for the purpose of an itinerant Picture Business, for a short time, during the dull season in the city.

We now offer to the citizens of this place and vicinity, advantages, for getting Pictures of a quality decidedly superior.  We have with us our Best Instruments, which were brought without regard to cost, and are entirely above [ ? ] with the instrument, generally used in small towns.  That those who do not know us by reputation may have some proof that we understand our business, we have with us some of our specimens, among which are several full size—Pictures of Jenny Lind and Husband, President Fillmore and Cabinet, &c., &c.

We now extend an invitation to all to call and see us—see our Specimens—see our Instruments—see our [manner] of doing business—and if you find us to be what we claim to be, then our advice to you is, have your Daguerreotypes taken!  Have a good one—(for a poor one [cannot] be copied if your friend dies,)—we say, have a good one of each member of the family, while you have them with you.  Life and health are uncertain.  The instances are [too numerous] in which we have been called out of our Rooms to take Corpse Pictures; which besides being [attention] with great expense to friends, are very unsatisfactory at best.  But the fact shows how much all think of retaining in their memory the features of departed friends.  It is not necessary that you set apart a whole day for this business with us.  We will not detain you more than 30 or 40 minutes, and we warrant every picture to give perfect satisfaction, or it will be taken over, free of charge.

Being largely engaged in the Daguerrian Stock business, we have been with us the Largest Assortment of Frames and Cases and find Gold Lockets ever exhibited in this place.  We offer to you rare opportunities, but remember, they are only for a short time.  When business revives in the City, we shall leave at some unexpected moment.  Rooms in the Court House.  R. B. Appleby. S. Wood.  Penn Yan, August 24, 1852.

Rochester Daguerreotypes in Geneva.  R. P. Appleby of the city of Rochester, at the solicitation of friends, has consented to stop for a very short time in Geneva, to serve the public with Daguerreotypes of superior quality.  He has rented the Daguerrean Rooms of John F. Greene, temporarily, where specimens of his style of work can be seen, and where he will be happy to wait in those wishing his services in this beautiful and wonderful Art.  With the aid of all the Late and Important Improvements, added to extensive experience, he is confident he offers to the inhabitants of Geneva and surrounding country, opportunities superior to any ever before offered in this village.  Particular attention is invited to Daguerreotypes of Large Size, which he produces in the greatest degree of perfection.  This is a rare chance, one that is not likely again soon occur.

But it is vain to multiply words, it would be far better to call and see if these things are so.  Let it be distinctly understood and borne in mind, that this opportunity will not be long extender, as it is only until the spring trade opens that our services can be dispensed with in the City.

All work Warranted to give Satisfaction.  R. B. Appleby.  March 11, 1854.
