1854 January 28.  Portsmouth Journal of Literature and Politics.  (Portsmouth, New Hampshire.)  January 28, 1854 Vol. LXV, No. 4, P. 2.

The Stereoscope.  [It] has sometimes been known to our citizens, that our ingenious townsman, Mr. Dominick Peduxxi, has, after much careful experiment, made in conjunction with Mr. Albert Gregory, one of our intelligent daguerreotype artists, discovered the exact method of taking daguerreotype portraits for the stereoscope.  The few pictures he has exhibited have excited great admiration.  The flat and changeable surface of the daguerreotype, by this arrangement assumes the appearance of most exquisite statuary.  Nothing in painting or engraving is capable of producing such a result.

The whole art, tho’ not quite new, is of so recent discovery, that it may be necessary for us to explain the principle which the stereoscope involves.  Every person, who reflects on the subject, will perceive that when we look at an object with both eyes, we see two different pictures of it.  One eye sees a little more of the right side of the object, the other eye sees a little more of the left.—The image formed in each eye are as different as the aspects of the object would be, if we were to close one eye and with the other look at the object successively from two points, one of which shall be almost two and a half inches to the right of the other.  It is this double union, by which we partly look round the object, which principally gives us the idea of prominence or solidity in what we see; which enables us readily to distinguish between a real projecting body and a flat picture.  Now it is apparent that if to pictures of any body could be painted, one of which should exactly represent the picture seen by the right eye, and the other the picture of the same body as seen at the same time by the left eye; and both pictures, placed side by side , could be seen at once and as one, by aid of a pair of lenses or otherwise, the picture would produce the same imprehension (sic.) upon the sight, as the solid object itself.  Painting can never be executed exactly enough to produce this effect; but two pictures may be taken by the camera or daguerreotype process, which will very perfectly accomplish it.  The published methods of doing this, however, are far from being correct, and the results which they produce are very imperfect.

–Mr. Peruxxi has very ingeniously discovered the true method, and his pictures are, as we have said singularly beautiful.

We are induced to notice this discovery of our townsman, at the present time, by observing in the Boston Evening Traveller, an advertisement of Southworth & Hawes, in which they claim the discovery as their own, and offer a reward for the apprehension of Mr. Peduzzi as an Imposter!  It is possible that these modest gentlemen may have made them same discovery, but they really arrogate too much to themselves when they undertake to claim the sole proprietorship of it.  The discovery, being of a principle only is probably not patentable; certainly the principle, and to some extent, its exact application has been too long and too publicly known, for any person now to set up any exclusive right in it.

We leave Mr. Peduxxi to seek the legal redress to which he is entitled, and which we understand he proposes to claim, for the libels upon him; but we hope the public will not suffer itself to be imposed upon, by the arrogance of any pretenders whatever.  The new art is very beautiful in its results, and we hope it will at once come into general use.  We are sure our townsman can suffer nothing from the unjust and selfish attacks made upon him, but will ultimately derive credit, and we hope profit for his ingenuity.

New And Interesting About Daguerreotypes.  A. Gregory respectfully returns his acknowledgements to his patrons for their appreciation of good work, and is happy to announce that he has recently enlarged and refurnished his pleasant and well known establishment, No. 33 Congress Street, for the further comfort of customers—likewise to introduce  to notice [I hope] splendid new kind of Pictures On Glass, which are fast coming into vogue.  These pictures possess several valuable qualities which highly recommend them to favor, being much prized wherever they have been introduced.  They are not reversed, avoiding the double reflection of pictures on plates, as they can be seen in any light, and are made permanent enameling nearly as hard as the glass itself, rendering them even more durable than the old kind.

Mr. G. keeps a splendid assortment of Fancy Cases of rich styles, together with plain kinds at reasonable prices, including the all important requisite of a superior Likeness, which his long practice enables him to give.

Strangers in Portsmouth as well as all others, willobserve the right place to get the full worth of their money.

Daguerreotype Gallery.—We lately visited the Daguerreotype Picture Gallery of Mr. J. C. Gray, and was surprised to observe the improvement there has been made in the art.  Mr. Gray can have but few equals; his portraits are true to nature.  For fineness and strength of outline, beautiful gradations of shade, and life-like color, together with delicate tinting by means of the pencil, they excel in beauty and expression any thing of the kind we have ever seen.

Mr Gray has devoted much time in the acquirement of the art, and has spared no expense in providing himself with apparatus of the best quality.  We understand that he intends leaving town in a few days, and would advise all those wishing for a perfect likeness of themselves or friends, to call on him immediately.

Having availed themselves of all the late improvements, and applied them with experienced manipulation, they flatter themselves they can produce photographic likenesses in beauty, correctness and durability inferior to none in the country.

They have on hand a large variety of rosewood and gilt frames, passpatout, paper mache book, and other fancy cases, and also a large assortment of gilt and gold lockets.

We call attention to the special Notice in our paper, headed “The house that Jack built,” or rather since it has no connection with the ‘shantee’ that Webster built, to the advertisement of that distinguished Daguerrean Artist.—The aforesaid ‘shantee’ is situated, for the time being, just opposite the Capitol Hotel.  But its proprietor is a ‘fast man,’ and we are unable to say how long it or he may remain.  Those who want life-like portraitures of their dear selves, excuted in the most improved and superior manner, that the art of Daguerre admits of, had better pay an immediate visit to the ‘shantee,’ and have their good looks drawn to a focus in Webster’s glass.  If our New York correspondent was good authority, Webster got the premium at the World’s Fair, and if he did’nt, we are certain that he or our old friend and fellow citizen Goodwin, at the corner of St. Clair and Broadway, ought to have had it.

Goddard’s Daguerreotype Rooms, in Smyth’s Block, are crowded daily with those delighted with the idea of getting good pictures for 50 cents.  That it what takes in these stringent times, when the people begin to appreciate the remarks of Franklin, “a penny saved is as good as a  penny earned.”  Goddard goes for the crowd, and, as is natural, the crowd are [leased with the idea.

1856 March 15.  Manchester Daily Mirror.  (Manchester, New Hampshire.)  March 15, 1856, Vol. X, No. 25, P. 2.

“Take the Substance Ere The Shadow Flies,”  seems to be the rule of action among the throng that visit Goddard’s Daguerreotype rooms in Smyth’s Block.  They are determined to “see themselves as others see them,” and for fifty cents they can do that self same thing at Goddard’s.  Wonderful, wonderful is the magic array of Daguerreotypes.  Fifty cents will buy a likeness more perfect than a Michael Angel could have painted in a twelve-month.  Goddard “hangs his banner on the outer wall,” and bids the crowd a welcome.

Musical Daguerreotypes.—Goddard at his daguerreotype rooms in Smyth’s Block, takes great pains to give his customers their money’s worth.  It would seem that fifty cents was cheap enough for a picture, but Goddard cannot rest satisfied with that , but gets a revolving show case, of pyramidal shape, that winds up like a clock, and moves with the precision of a music box.  It sits at the entrance of the building, by the sidewalk, and attracts a crowd of visitors.  It is called Musical, though no music comes from it, because the first impression is that music will come from it.  It will be in full blast all Fast Day.

Address to the Faces of Manchester.  Fellow Citizens and Citizenesses:  I am aware that in the course of human events it becomes necessary—in times like the present, when our taxes are so high, and we are, to such an intemperate extent, interested in political affairs—concerning the “saving of this glorious Union”—that a “point of Light” be at once obtained, that we amy the more readily introduce to your notice the Camera, of our matured, and polished reflections, in such manner that the “Human face Divine” shall be bathed in liquid light; and that Shadows, shall fall only, to make more complete the translucent impressions we shall be happy to transfer to you.

The Emporium, where it is proposed to realize the virtue of the “Platform”—just cited, is to be round of course, at Goddard’s popular Daguerreotype Gallery, Smyth’s Block; where all who love their country, and believe in the final resurrection of Kansas; the nomination of Gen. Daniel Pratt—the Great American Traveler, j. c. Fremont, G. W. F. Miller, James Buchanan, Millard Fillmore ad the Chivalric P. S. Brooks, to the Presidency. Are invited to present themselves—that each may receive their “Plate” in proportion to Specie—Services rendered, during the day’s campaign.

Mr. Goddard would say that it is not him that is to be made the victim of “Ascension” on the Fourth, but some gentleman of a more flighty character.  Mr. G—,the Daguerreotypist, being willing to content himself by remaining a tax-payer for a short time longer on this mundane-sphere, providing his friends continue, as ever, to rally around.

Yours, sans desperative, J. G—

What great time we live in, What strange things are seen!

Thoughts borne on wires!  Folks carried by steam!

But the strangest of strange things that now ca be done,

Is J. Goddard taking faces by sun!

Why think you good folks!  I was walking to-day

Where stood his Daguerrean Car, just back of Gray’s,

When I ‘gan to bow and say “How d’ye do?”

And stretch out my hands to some folks I knew—

For I thought some old friends were looking at me

Though nice little holes in this Picture Gallery—

When, lo and behold! What I thought were their faces,

Turned out to be likenesses hung up in cases.

I put on my hat and held down my hand,

I felt some abashed and came to a stand;

But the more that I gazed and saw how it stood,

The less I felt’ shamed and the more I cried—good!

Of course, I marched in and looked at the man

Who could take down folks faces, omitting the tan,

Then peeped in a glass, to see how I should look,

Then—sat down—was taken—as true as a book!

Paid the money—rushed home—laid my face on the table

Then in came—no matter—my own lovely Mabel.

She gazed at me there and she gazed at me here,—

She looked at us both—then as she drew near

“What is it? what means it?”  at last she exclaimed.

I said not a word, but direct to the famed

Mr. Goddard’s Ambrotype Car

Led Lovely Mabel, securing that star.

As did I, so do ye,—each of you, all;

Let none be neglected the great nor the small;

In all weathers—at all times—the prices are low;—

To one and to all my word, Friends, is—go!

“Who can Paint like Nature?”  Mr. Emerson Goddard, daguerrean artist, of this town, has produced specimens of his craft which are creditable in the highest degree.  Among his recent portraits, of life size, is one of the late Robert Foss, of Mansfield, Connecticut, one of which may be seen in the Patriot Bookstore.  It is finished in crayon, and is not only beautiful as a work of art, but is a natural and faithful representation of the subject.  The art of painting life-like portraits by the eye and brush is one of the most difficult in the whole realm of art, and few have excelled therein.  It was not until Louis Jacques Maude Daguerre, the eminent French painter, discovered and improved the photographic process, in 1838-1839, that truthful “counterfeit presentments” of the human face became common and accessible to all.  Daguerre died July 12, 1851.  His name and fame must forever remain indissolubly connected with the wonderful art.

People who desire to see a faithful picture by a creditable imitator of M. Daguerre, should examine this portrait of Mr. Foss, which will remain in the Patriot Bookstore for a brief time.
