1854-1856       369 Broadway, New York, New York.

1854 August.  The Photographic And Fine Art Journal.  (New York, New York.)  August 1854 Vol. 7, No. 8, P. 256.

Mr. Gaige has opened an elegant suite of photographic rooms at 369 Broadway N. Y.  This young artist is a regular graduate of the Daguerrean College, which has been for years under the Presidency of M. B. Brady, Esq., we all know has retained constantly the most skillful and learned professors in the art, and to say this, is to say sufficient to give confidence in his skill and taste as an artist; but we can say more; we have been personally acquainted with Mr. Gaige for some years, and we do him not more than justice in saying that as a gentleman and a daguerrean artist we place him in the front rank, and we are very much mistaken if, before the end of the year, he does not become captain.  He certainly is an artist of high promise, and we sincerely trust that his present enterprise may be as successful and permanent as his most sanguine expectations could desire.

Gaige[1] & Fields.  Photograph, Ambrotype and Daguerreotype Gallery, over Criswell & Hillhouse Store, Jefferson Street, Burlington.  Mr. Fields has the pleasure of announcing that he has associated with him, Mr. Gaige, for six years an operator in Brady’s celebrated Gallery, New York.  He therefore ventures to promise his customers Photographs, Ambrotypes and Daguerreotypes, in the highest style of the art, with all recent improvements which have brought the art so near a state of perfection.

He is confident the specimens on exhibition at his rooms—and all are cordially invited to examine them—will bear a comparison with the finest pictures from the best New York Galleries, or from any other point, no matter where.  And as he does not wish the public to take this on trust, he hopes they will come and see.

Daguerreotypes of deceased persons copied to any desired size and colored to equal the finest oil paintings.  Likenesses of deceased persons also taken.

Remember the place, Jefferson st., between Third and Fourth, opposite Barret House.

Colored Photographs.  A. G. Gaige would inform the citizens of Burlington that in addition to the many superior specimens of Ambrotypes and Daguerreotypes now in his Gallery, he has some elaborately colored Photographs, which he does not hesitate to offer as equal, in brilliancy of tone and naturalness of effect, to any Eastern efforts.

I would particularly call attention of the citizens to this department of the Photographic art, as the present opportunity afforded by Mr. Geo. Winter—the Artist’s visit to Burlington offers facilities of getting up artistic efforts of this character not hitherto enjoyed.

Mr. Winter’s experienced pencil is a guarantee in assuring the public that those who wish to avail themselves of this interesting art, will be enabled to secure a finished production.

Persons having Daguerreotypes of deceased relatives, can have them transferred, and colored Photographs produced from them and enlarged to any size At the Gallery also, new specimens of Ambrotypes colored in a superior style.
