Daguerreotype Art—Improved.  Perfect Likenesses Of Children Or Adults, By C. Barnes & Brother.  We would say to our friends of Macon and surrounding country, that we have neatly furnished a room in the Eagle Hotel (up stairs) for the purpose giving those wishing perfect likenesses of themselves or friends an opportunity of obtaining them.  The new improvement will enable us to take perfect likenesses of Children of any age.  Gentlemen are respectfully invited to call and examine specimens. They would do well to call soon as our stay will be short.  C.& W. Barnes.

Daguerreotyping.—Our Daguerreotype artists have been making improvements for an extensive business the coming winter.

The art, we believe, was first introduced into Mobile by Mr. Barnes, who attained great distinction in it.  Indeed, we believe, it may be said that his success has been so great that he has accumulated a fortune.

He was followed by numerous other persons, but the only establishments besides his are those of the Messrs. Stanton and Mr. Marks.  The former have their rooms on the south side of Dauphin way, entering by the same steps which lead to the printing office of the Tribune.  They have erected a large glass front, which will enable them to obtain an excellent light for their operations.

Mr. Marks, at the southeast corner of Dauphin and Royal streets, has been here about a year.  He comes from Baltimore with the prestige of success and one or two medals from the great fairs.  He has also changed the externals of the building he occupies and has made a large skylight which is very complete.  His rooms are elegantly fitted up, and the numerous pictures which decorate his walls are a sufficient proof of his great skill in the art.  He has a series of very striking Daguerreotype views of San Francisco, taken by himself, and exhibiting that place by sections which, joined together, make a complete picture of the entire city, in which the minutest detail of every house tree, and street, and shipping, &c., is given with surprising clearness.  The name on some of the signs can be easily read by the naked eye. 

We are satisfied that there are o more exquisitely executed pictures any where than those which our Daguerreotypists are ready to take; and we commend them to our country friends who, doubtless, this winter will liberally patronize this very beautiful art.  Let them visit the galleries of our artists and see how difficult it is to resist the desire to have their pictures taken.

C. Barnes, Mobile, Ala.  This gentleman takes the most perfect pictures of any artist we ever saw.  Ambrotypes, Daguerreotypes, and Photographs are taken small or life size.  He can take a life size photograph from a miniature half an inch in diameter, and when a picture is finished off by him, it looks more like a human being than a mere representation.  Indeed, his pictures are naturally beautiful (so far as the execution is concerned) and beautifully natural.

Photographs.  Life Size, On Canvas.  I would most respectfully state to the citizens of Mobile that I am now fully prepared and am taking Life Size Photographs, beautifully colored in Oil, the patent of which I am the sole Proprietor for the city of Mobile.

I have enlarged my establishment: by adding a new suite of Rooms, next East of my Daguerrean Gallery, neatly fitted up with an Improved Skylight, expressly for Photographic purposes.

During the last summer I have made myself fully acquainted with all improvements pertaining to the art, and carefully selected with great expense, Cameras, Pantescopes, etc., etc., of the best quality, together with a good assortment of Frames of the neatest style.

I would also state that I have been successful in procuring the services of the best Artists in the country, which enables me to guarantee my Pictures permanent, and as beautiful in Finish as the Art is susceptible of, colored in Water, Oil or Pastel.

Persons having old Daguerreotypes or Ambrotypes of departed friends, can have them copied.  Life, Cabinet, or Miniature Size, colored in all the freshness and vigor of animated nature.

I have fixed my terms, corresponding with New York prices, so as to enable all to ornament their parlors with family portraits, which have become so popular at the North.  Please call and examine specimens.  Rooms Nos. 46 and 48 Dauphin Street, Mobile.  Jan. 1858.          C. Barnes.

We thank Mr. C. Barnes, of Mobile, Ala., for a photograph of General Walker.  The picture is very well executed, and we must say, Mr. B’s powers of discrimination, in pandering tastes, are as nice as his artistic skill is accurate; for we would have chosen the picture of the grey eyed patriot in preference to any other in his extensive gallery.

Fire At Cincinnati.—The Cincinnati Commercial of Monday furnished the following particulars of a fire in that city, of which a record has previously been received by the telegraph.

Between 11 and 12 o’clock, on Friday night, a fire broke out in the old block of buildings, on the North west corner of Fifth and Main streets, known as the old “Museum Buildings.”  The fire originated in the room occupied by the Nonpareil office, and had gained complete ascendancy before it was discovered.  The following is the list of sufferers by this conflagration.

…G. P. Ball, Daguerreotypist, was injured to the amount of $150.

The weather is highly favorable for Daguerrean operations and we advise our readers who visit Cincinnati, go to Ball’s 28 Fourth Street, and have their likeness taken.  Mr. Ball is an artist of great merit and never fails to give satisfaction to his patrons.

1854 June 22.  Eaton Democrat.  (Eaton, Ohio.)  June 22, 1854, Vol. 11, No. 3, P. 2.

It is astonishing the large amount of business done in the art of Daguerreotyping in Cincinnati.  But the largest amount done by any one, is by Mr. J. P. Ball, No. 28 Fourth street.  It is an indisputable fact that there never has been a better patronized gallery in the West than Ball’s.  Go there at whatever time you will, and you are sure to see his saloons and operating rooms crowded.  He has nine operators-all artist of the first class, as is well known to all visitors of the gallery.—Their pictures are gems of art and beauty—remarkable for accuracy of detail and faithfulness of likeness.  His gallery is a perfect boudoir, where all who come may luxuriate in the enjoyment of everything that the art of genius can furnish for repose.  Ball deserves patronage.

1854 June 29.  Eaton Democrat.  (Eaton, Ohio.)  June 29, 1854, Vol. 11, No. 4, P. 2.

Where Do They All Come From?  This is a question that is naturally asked by persons who visit Ball’s Gallery, No. 28 West Fourth-street, for the first time.  When he first enters he will find the Gallery crowded, and nine operators hard at work, supplying the wants of the visitors.  Still as fast as one customer leaves, another comes in, thus keeping up a continual crowd; so that a person is led to ask “Where do they all come from?”—Now, it may not be out of place to ask in the same connection, “Why do all come there?”  The answer is plain:  They come there because Ball’s pictures are unsurpassed, and his facilities for taking them are unrivaled.—

Through the whole length and breadth of the land his reputation is wide spread, and we would do him injustice if we did not say that he well deserves the flattering reputation he enjoys.  Our friends will at all times find Mr. Ball’s Gallery a comfortable resting place, and his operators ever ready to furnish them with most admirable Daguerreotypes.

Crowds attest the skill of the artist employed by J. P. Ball, No. 28, Fourth Street, and accord to them the *meed of praise in the art of Daguerreotyping.  If you want a Likeness that is the place.

*meed – a noun, archaic Middle English/Old English word meaning “A reward or recompense.”

1854 July 20.  Eaton Democrat.  (Eaton, Ohio.)  July 20, 1854, Vol. 11, No. 7, P. 2.

By visiting Ball’s Gallery, No. 28 West Fourth Street, you can look at pictures of most of the great characters of this country.  His Gallery is a perfect Museum, and is well worth a visit.  His pictures are most excellent, his Gallery splendidly furnished, and his prices for Daguerreotypes very moderate. 

1854 August 17.  Eaton Democrat.  (Eaton, Ohio.)  August 17, 1854, Vol. 11, No. 9, P. 2.

There is something peculiarly pleasing in the possession of the likeness of a relative or friend, especially of one who is absent, and the value of his possession is increased vastly by the excellence of the likeness.  Now the best place to get a Daguerreotype in Cincinnati is at Ball’s spacious and splendid Gallery, No. 28 West Fourth-street.  By visiting his Gallery, you can at all times secure a perfect likeness and that, too, at a very moderate price.  He has no superior as an artist, and is therefore worthy of patronage.

1854 September 7.  Eaton Democrat.  (Eaton, Ohio.)  September 7, 1854, Vol. 11, No. 12, P. 2.

For the information of our readers, among whom the impression had gone abroad that J. P. Ball had sold out his splendid Gallery to his brother, we will make the following explanation:  Messrs. J. P. Ball and R. G. Ball brothers, had been partners in the gallery located at No. 10 Fifth-street, until a few weeks ago, when they decided to dissolve partnership the extensive business of both rendering imperative that each one should attend strictly and exclusively to one establishment.  This decision was carried into effect, and an announcement to that effect was made in the advertising columns of this paper:  and from the wording of this announcement many of our readers have got the idea that J. P. Ball had sold out.  This is not correct Ball still continues to do a large and prosperous business at his magnificent Gallery, No. 28 West Fourth street, where we advise our readers to call when they want a good Daguerreotype.—Cin. Eng.

The pictures taken by Ball, No. 28 West Fourth-street, are life-like and beautiful.  As he gives his personal attention to the business, he never allows a poor, badly-executed Daguerreotype to leave his Gallery; none but first rate pictures are given to his patrons.  His artist are the very best that can be procured and are engaged without regard to expense.—We advise our readers to visit his Gallery when they want a good picture.

Notwithstanding the splendid new building going up o Fourth-street, Ball’s Daguerrean establishment continues to be the great center of attraction.  His daguerreotypes are universal favorites, and may be seen in the parlors of the elite of the city and the country everywhere.  We venture to say that Ball sells more Daguerreotypes in one day than all the country Daguerreotypist in the state.

Among the mail from the Crimea, which reaches England weekly, a large number of Daguerreotypes are usually found.  It is said they are but poor affairs.  What a pity it is that a good artist is not on hand to sketch those important scenes.  If the army had such an artist as Ball in its train, what splendid Pictures he would furnish.  He is decidedly one of the best living artist.  His Gallery is on Fourth street, No. 28.

The opening of Spring and of agreeable weather, has witnessed a rush to Ball’s Great Western Daguerreotype Saloon, that was never equaled before.  His spacious and elegant apartments are crowded from morning to night and the amount of business he does would be absolutely astonishing to one who never saw Daguerreotyping on a large scale before.  It is an incontrovertible fact that Ball takes unrivaled pictures—hence his immense popularity.  His place is at 28 West Fourth street, between Main and walnut.  Go there for first class pictures.

The fact that Ball employs his own artist exclusively to color all photographs taken at his gallery is an important one.  By this means he’s enabled to give a good picture at a moderate price.  His glass pictures are gems of beauty, and like a “thing of beauty” will endure forever.  Give him a call at 28 West Fourth street, Cincinnati, and examine his specimens.

What Colored People Can Do.  It is gratifying to know that under all the disadvantages of prejudice and exclusion from many mechanical, professional and literary avocations our colored citizens are advancing rapidly in intelligence and wealth.  Very many of them have been slaves who had to purchase their own bodies and then commence life with nothing but strong hands and glad hearts…we find here five physicians, one of whom has a very large practice among both whites and blacks; twelve grocers; thirty Music and School teachers; five Daguerreotypists; one Patent roofer; five Brick layers and Stone masons;…J. P. Ball, R. G. Ball and J. C.

Warranted Not To Fade.—The Pictures taken at the Broadway Gallery, No. 58 Broadway, are warranted not to fade.  The Artists take especial pains with their work; they don’t send out Pictures put up in an inferior manner, and do not get up new names for an old process, and say, “Such and such Pictures fade—you’d better get one of my new ones.”  That game is played out.  Call at the Broadway Gallery for superior work of art.  Their Ferrotype, Ambrotype and Melainotype are Pictures that will not fade; and the prices at No. 58 are about one-third less than at other Galleries.  Call and see specimens.

Those wishing to procure superb  Likenesses of themselves or friends, can do so by the Ground Glass Sky Light, (with the assistance of your humble servant,) which is superior to any light in the city.  Perhaps you may say this is saying too much about your Ground Glass Sky-Light, but I am inclind to believe that I can convince you of the fact, when the saloon is in operation. Remember, within two or three weeks.  Very respectfully yours, Alonzo G. Amsden.
