Buell’s life-like pictures, mocking at decay, [eye,

Will still be fresh and vivid as the day.

Brown’s American Ambrotype Gallery, No. 95 (Baldwin’s Block) Superior Street.  The Attention of the Public is respectfully invited to the Gallery, just opened for the production of this new style of Pictures, which is universally admitted to be far superior to any kind of Likeness yet produced by the Photographic Art.

The Ambrotype is taken upon Plate Glass, to which an other plate of glass is hermetically sealed with an indestructible cement; this imparts to the picture a richness of tone which cannot be obtained by any other method, and also renders it imperishable.

The Ambrotype is patented in the United States, Great Britain and France by Mr. Cutting.  I have purchased the sole and exclusive right to make these pictures in Cuyahoga County.  The Public are therefore cautioned against pictures made on a single plate of glass, and falsely called Ambrotypes; and all persons making pictures in this way, and calling them Ambrotypes, are using my trade mark, and thereby rendering themselves liable for damages.

The public are most respectfully invited to call at my rooms, and inspect this new style of likeness.  Pictures from the smallest to the largest size take irrespective of weather.  Children taken in from 2to 6 seconds.  E. W. Brown, Proprietor of the American Ambrotype Gallery, No. 95 Superior St.

Broadbent, respectfully announces that he has taken Rooms over the store occupied by Miss Kendrick and Mrs. Bullard, in Congress-street, opposite the Pulaski House, where he will be happy to wait upon Ladies and Gentlemen, who wish to see Specimens, or have their Likenesses, taken by the Daguerreotype process.

Mr. B.’s Portraits have all the colors of the complexion, dress, &c., and are warranted superior to any Specimens that can be produced done in New York, or elsewhere.

1843 November 7.  Savannah Daily Republican.  (Savannah, Georgia.)  November 7, 1843, Vol. XLI, No. 258, P. 2.

Mr. Broadbent’s Daguerreotype Likenesses.—It is only recently that we have paid much attention to the really excellent work of Mr. Broadbent, in this new art.  So repeated have been the failures of all similar attempts here, so imperfect have been the portraits which we have hitherto seen of this kind, that we have never held the method in proper estimations.  The likenesses of Mr. Broadbent are full of merit.  They are perhaps a little too true to be pleasing in some instances, but they are perfect.  The effect of light and shade and foreshortening, is precisely that which the most eminent artist known how to reach, while the peculiar contrast and gradation of colors cause them to present an appearance somewhat between a steel and mezzotint engraving.  Mr. B. has a method of precipitating gold upon the finished picture which prevents any change in it from lapse of time, whether from oxidation or otherwise.  Napoleon was but poorly gratified when Isabey told him that he could paint a picture which should last 400 years.  We can see no reason why these pictures should have any limit to their duration.  Chemically speaking there is a necessity of their continuous perfection.  Their price brings them within the reach of every one.  Mr. B.’s stay in Savannah will not be protracted much longer, as he has engagements elsewhere.  Those therefore, who desire to send cherished friends, true likenesses  of themselves, ought to make immediate application.

Broadbent’s Daguerreotype.  We had often seen notices of the superior excellence of Broadbent’s pictures, and have always heard him spoken of as excelling all others in the Daguerreotype—and we really think him deserving of all the praise that has been awarded him.  His pictures are more highly finished, and have a strength, brilliancy and beauty about them, that we have never seen in Daguerreotype pictures before. 

We have seen a few specimens of Miniature Paintings by Broadbent, which show him to be an artist of very superior skill, and probably his artistical skill may be one reason why he excels in the Daguerreotype.

Mr. B. intimates that he will leave in a few days, and we would advise all those who wish their portraits to call on him at once, as probably there may never occur an opportunity of getting portraits equal to Broadbent’s Daguerreotypes, which are infinitely superior as likenesses, and consequently more valuable, than any painted portrait in the world.

1845 April 9.  The Columbus Times.  (Columbus, Georgia.)  April 9, 1845, Vol. V, No. 15, P. 2.

For The Times.  Daguerreotype.  Messrs. Editors:—Having recently visited the operating room of Mr. Broadbent, over Ives & Brothers Store in this city, who is now engaged in taking Miniature likenesses, I was astonished to see what perfection this beautiful art has attained.  Among his specimens I saw many familiar faces which I daily meet, and so natural are they, that were they Busts, instead of Pictures , nothing is wanting save the infusion of the breath of life, to make them real or second self.  Mr. B. being an Artist, (with the aid of the magic pencil, or some other secret charm,) imparts a coloring to his pictures which makes them vie with nature itself.  I understand that he will remain in the city but a few days longer; therefore all persons interested in obtaining a perfect resemblance of themselves, or friends, will improve the golden moment, and resort at once to his room, where almost in a twinkling he will indelibly stamp their features on something more lasting than paper, or durable than wood.

[For The Courier.]  Daguerreotype Portraits.  Those who desire to procure the most perfect likenesses by this beautiful and truly wonderful process, can now have an opportunity of doing so, by calling at the rooms of Mr. Broadbent, in King-street.  This gentleman has carried the practical operation of this science to a perfection which has not been attained by any other artist within our knowledge.  Whether it is the result of the quality of the materials used, or the superior skill of the artist, we cannot say, but the pictures of Mr. Broadbent surpasses any we have ever seen for distinctness and beauty.  They are brought out in such a manner as to resemble the finest engraving, without that unsatisfactory dimness and want of life which characterises most likenesses taken by this process.  For durability, also, they are fully equal to engravings.  Mr. B. now has in his possession portraits, several years old, that present as fresh an appearance as though they had just been retaken, If there are any who doubt what we have stated, we can only say to them call and judge for yourselves.  X.

Colored Daguerreotype Portraits.  Mr. Perry[3], from New-York, having taken the rooms recently occupied by Mr. Broadbent, No. 271 King-street, proposes Taking Portraits By The Daguerreotype Process,—and he assures his patrons that his Pictures shall be superior, for beauty and finish, to any that can be produced at any other house in Charleston.

Mr. Perry for several years has had the charge of Mr. Plumb’s establishment in New-York, and produced the pictures for which Mr. Plumb obtained the first premium for the best pictures at the Fair of the American Institute in New-York the several successive years he was with him.  Mr. P. was also commissioned to visit the President’s house at Washington to take the portraits of his family—and also was engaged during the last session of Congress, taking the Portraits of Members of Congress, and other eminent persons.  It is well known the Daguerreotype reverses the picture, making the right appear the left side of the sitter.  Mr. P. has a mode of correcting this error by the use of a speculum which takes portraits or views without reversing them—which is not practiced by others in this city.

Mr. Perry is a practical optician, and manufactures the very best Daguerreotype instruments extant—and has for sale, Perry’s Premium Apparatus, also Plates, Cases, Chemicals, &c. &c.  Instructions given in the most approved process.

Daguerreotype!  Removal.  S. Broadbent has removed to rooms over Messrs. Hart & Polley’s store where he has a Sky Light built expressly for the Daguerreotype.  There are several advantages of a sky light—the pictures are stronger, more effective, and of a more pleasing character than those done by side light; the objection of one side of the face being light and the other dark is obviated, and blue eyes can be as well taken as others.

Mr. Broadbent is an artist by profession, which gives him many advantages in the arrangement and finish of his pictures.  He has had, perhaps, mor experience in the Daguerreotype than any other person; having been successfully engaged in it ever since the art has been practiced, and his process is superior to that practiced by others, (either with machinery patented last October, or otherwise,) and he warrants better pictures than can be produced, done elsewhere.—or no charge.

Beautiful Daguerreotypes.—We have recently [examined] with much pleasure the very beautiful specimens of Daguerreotyping, executed by Messrs, Broadbent Cary, No. 128 Baltimore street.  These gentlemen, with a perfect knowledge of the art, have availed themselves of the latest improvements made in France and Germany, and now produce a perfect likeness, [which] by the aid of a little colouring, is made to bear [a close] resemblance to a finely executed miniature.—[those] who will take the trouble to examine their [speci ?] will at once acknowledge their great excellence.  [The] rooms of Messrs. Broadbent & Cary are neatly [prepared] for the reception of ladies and gentlemen, and [ ? ] great pains they take to afford entire satisfaction to [those] who favor them with their custom, commends [them] strongly to public patronage.

Likeness Of George Thompson.—We have seen, at various times three or four different pictures of this eminent man, but they were all failures—we had almost said caricatures.  Correct in outline, they yet lacked expression, and were powerless to convey a right impression of the man whose lineaments they professed to present.  But we have before us now a picture of another sort, and one that does something like justice to its subject.  It is an engraving by Illman & Sons, from a Daguerreotype by Broadbent & Co.; and those who have seen Mr. Thompson will, we think, agree with us that it is not only a striking likeness, but a beautiful work of art.  The engraver has been fortunate in catching the spirited and life-like expression so effectually traced by the sun, and in looking at the picture you might almost think that the man himself stood before you, and was about to give you an illustration of his oratorical powers.

It is for sale at the Anti-Slavery Office, price 37½ cents.

Broadbent & Co., Chestnut St.—What specimens we saw, chiefly daguerreotypes, were in the first style of the art, with a few exceptions. Good daguerreotypes are not so much appreciated as formerly, as the attention of true artists is directed now particularly to Photography on paper and glass. As daguerreotyping has not yet reached its acme of perfection, I am very glad to see that there are some artists who are still striving for its improvement; although I acknowledge the superiority of paper and collodion photographs.

1858 October 23.  Philadelphia Inquirer.  (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.)  October 23, 1858, Vol. LIX, No. 95, P. 1.

We Noticed also, among the photographic specimens some magnificent works by Broadbent.  Other cities may boast as much as they will of the advancement of the photographic art—Philadelphia still, as we think, bears away the palm.  Some of the works in the collection of Broadbent surpass any we have ever seen, either of home or foreign execution.  Those of them which are plain have high merits, while those that are colored are, if possible, even more attractive.

Franklin Institute.—The photographs of Mr. Broadbent, in the upper saloon of the Institute, are beautiful specimens.  Among them we noticed a likeness of John Grigg, Esq., which is brilliantly executed, presenting a most spirited fac simile of the features of that well known and highly respected gentleman.  The coloring of all the specimens in Mr. Broadbent’s collection is extremely life-like.  Indeed, the entire display he makes at the Fair is of the best possible character.

“Secure the Shadow ere the Substance fades.”  E. T. Brigham Takes pleasure in calling the attention of the citizens of Dover and vicinity to his Daguerreotype Gallery, On Washington St. nearly opposite the Town Hall. 

Mr. B. has taken the Rooms, formerly occupied by Mr. Charles Emerson, and has enlarged the light and rooms and so arranged both, that he feels confident in coming before the public and saying he is now prepared to execute work in a style unsurpassed by any in New England.  He does ot deem it necessary to say much as to his skill and experience as an Artist, as the over five thousand miniatures which he has taken in this and the neighboring towns (with far inferior facilities) will be a sufficient guarantee to those for whom they were executed.  He would simply say to all that he has turned his attention entirely to this Art for more than nine years, in which it has been his aim to excel, not only for his advantage but to perfect the Art.

Brigham’s Daguerreotype And Ambrotype Gallery, Washington Street, nearly opposite the City Hall, Dover.  These are the largest and best arranged suit of Rooms for light, &c. in the State.  All who favor him with their patronage shall have the advantage of his long practical experience in this art and his personal attention to the extent of his ability.

His apparatus is of the first class and he is constantly supplied with a extensive assortment of the best quality of Frames and Cases, both Plain and Fancy ad Gold Lockets in which likenesses will be inserted large or small, single or in groups, at the lowest prices.  Invalids or deceased persons waited upon at their residences.  Copying of likenesses of every description executed with the greatest care.

Mr. B. has the exclusive right for this City of making the popular and celebrated pictures known as Ambrotypes, and is fully prepared to preform work in a style unsurpassed by any who have offered them to the public.

Ambrotypes possess a marked superiority over all other styles of making likenesses now extant, being made on glass instead of the silver plate or gross paper, unlike Daguerreotypes they are not reversed, and possess a rich and velvety hue and they are taken so quick that the sitter rarely changes his expression—and therefore gets a much more life-like likeness than by any other process.

The intensity and clearness of their lights, shades and middle tints are unsurpassed.  As to their durability it is not doubtful for they are hermetically sealed between two plate glasses in the same manner that microscopic objects have been preserved for many years and the glasses of optical instruments are united in the same manner.

They are emphatically what their name purports, “immortal, Imperishable.”

Whilst he would gratefully acknowledge the unparalleled patronage bestowed on him since his permanent location in this City, and also the liberal favors received from the citizens of this and the neighboring towns, during the last seven years, he can but hope that his unwearied efforts to meet the demands of the public will be crowned with success in the future.  Dover, January 1, 1857.
