Hill & Kelley—Case of ambrotypes and melainotypes…

Just thirteen in all!  Yet I am glade to say that the St. Paul articles formed a main part of the Fair.  The very first thing one sees on going into the main building, is a beautiful display of Photographs, &c. from the well-known St. Paul Artist, Whitney, and another equally fine case from Messrs. Hill & Kelly.  A crowd was about these pictures all the time, and they certainly were altogether as fine a gallery of pictures as we ever saw in such a place.  They both deserve premiums.

The Judson Gallery.—Seeing it announced by parties that I am associated with various Photographic and Ambrotype Galleries in this city, and feeling that this a constant embarrassment to myself, as well as leading the public to believe that I am not really connected with any.  I have found it necessary to make an arrangement with one of these establishments.  Desirous to form one that would give the joint pictures an artistic value.  I have selected the best Operator in the city in A. Judson, No. 238 Broad st., one door above the Canal, whom I havealso long considered the best Ambrotypist in the United States.

Having for a long term of years been conversant with the higher branches of the art, and constantly making it a study, my partnership with this establishment will add to the merit of the truly elegant pictures which Mr. Judson produces, and will, I feel confident, secure to this Gallery the favor of the public.  John McDougall.

Daguerreotyping.—Among all the inventions of the busy train of man, the daguerreotype must take high rank for the pleasure which it contributes to the social economy.—The art places within the reach of all, the most valuable mementoes of beloved friends—whose features, imbedded in silver radiant with life, may cheer many a lonely hour among strangers in a strange land, or if their counterparts no more gladden the earth with their living presence, will be doubly cherished as among the dearest memorials.  The value of a daguerreotype can only be estimated from the vain regret which is often felt by those who have parted with those they love, without such a speaking image to appeal to the eye as their memories speak to the heart.  In looking into Jordan’s Rooms, near Patch & Lewis’ Bookstore, the other day, we noticed some counterfeit presentments of life—well known among us.  Jordan takes his pictures in good taste and puts them in any desired style or case.  His assortment of lockets and seals, designed for one, two or four pictures each, is [very] fine. 

1855 December 20.  Bangor Daily Journal.  (Bangor, Maine.)  December 20, 1855, Vol. 2, No. 100, P. 2.

Lockets!  The best assortment of Gold Lockets that can be found in the city is kept by Jordan, the Daguerreotypist, No. 2 Smith’s Block.  Lockets with four Glasses, called the family Locket, very beautiful; Locket Rings, &c.

People coming in from the country, if not aware of the fact, should take notice that it is nevertheless true that he sells Lockets with a Daguerreotype set in it for less money than the Locket can be bought of any jeweler in the city.

His long practice in the beautiful art of Daguerreotyping enables him to produce likenesses which for durability and life-like appearance cannot fail to give satisfaction.

Daguerreotypes are suitable for Holiday gifts, and the new pictures of the Burnhams, and those beautiful lockets and the pictures Jordan puts in them, cannot be excelled.

1857 May 6.  Bangor Daily Journal.  (Bangor, Maine.)  May 6, 1857, Vol. 3, No. 214, P. 2.

Miniatures!  Jordan, the Daguerreotypist, is producing likenesses by the Collodion Process, at his new rooms, 34 Main street, surpassing anything of the kind in the city.  He fits them in Pins, Rings, Bracelets and Lockets, with that neatness which cannot fail to please.

—Our old friend, Mr. Robert S. Jones has become the successor of Mr. Retser in I the daguerrean art in this place.  Mr. Jones was a pupil of Retser for a considerable time, and spent a greater portion of last summer in perfecting himself among the artists of his profession in the North, and now he takes pictures equal to his instructors, and we hope the community will extend to him a generous patronage.  Mr. Jones has some daguerreotype views of Niagara Falls and other places of note, which he took while on his northern tour, that have been pronounced equal if not superior, to any ever taken.  It was untrue that our friend Jones lost his life when the Henry Clay Steamer was burned on the Hudson River last summer, for the very good reason that he did not happen to be on board of her, and all who may have heard the report, will become convinced of the truth of our statement by calling at his Gallery on Main street, and getting their pictures taken.—Charlotteville, (Va.) Jeffersonian.
