O. K. not O. K.—A singular mistake occurred in this city on Tuesday last, which goes to prove that we should not always trust to outward appearances.  The ship Saracen, Capt. Oliver Keating, sailed from this port that day for Manilla and Canton.  When the ship was ready to start the Captain sent a cartman to the Pearl Street House, where he had been boarding, for his baggage.

The cartman accordingly went to Capt. K.’s room and took his things, which were all packed up, and in coming out of the room he saw in the entry, near the door, two boxes marked O. K. the initials of the Captain’s name, (Oliver Keating) and supposing they belonged to him, and that it was Oll Korrect, he took the boxes, carried them down and put them on board the ship with the Captain’s baggage, and the vessel immediately afterwards went to sea.  An hour or two after she had sailed, it was discovered that the boxes did not belong to the Captain, but to another gentleman who was stopping at the Pearl Street House, and that the contained a complete set of Daguerreotype apparatus which the owner was about to put in operation in this city.  It was, however, too late to correct the mistake, and the boxes Daguerreotype apparatus and all, are now on their way to Manilla

Card—The subscriber having purchased one-half of the proprietor’s entire Right for Cutting’s Patent Ambrotypes in the city of Boston, has associated himself with Mr. A. H. Knapp, a successful Artist, for the purpose of taking these beautiful and endearing pictures, In Glass.

The Ambrotype, being hermetically sealed between two plates of fine polished glass, (by a cement which not only secures, but gilds and beautifies the impression,) is proof against the action of water or acids, or the variations of climate in long sea voyages.  Hence they are named “Ambrotypes,” “immortal, imperishable.”  They can be taken from the size of full life to the smallest miniature, and in one-quarter of the time of the Daguerreotype.  They are not reversed, and can be seen in any light as plainly as an engraving; hence are very suitable for pins, Lockets, and large Frames, as well as Cases.

The extreme popularity of the Ambrotype has given rise to much imposition.  Counterfeits upon single glass, covered with black varnish, are often sold for Ambrotypes.  None are genuine without the patent stamp.  The public are invited to call and examine specimens.  J. Briggs.

Fires.  At 1½ o’clock last night fire broke out in the wooden building at the corner of Hanover and Union streets, occupied by Redding & Co., as a ten cent store, C. A. Roundy, shoe dealer, B. P. Bassett, hair dresser, A. B. Matthewson’s weather-strip manufacturer, and Wm. N. Jordan, daguerreotypist—the two latter premises being burned out, and the others badly damaged by water.   Messrs. Redding & Co.’s loss was the largest—probably about $500—their $1400 stock of teas being more or less “steeped” or smoked.  They are insured at the Manufacturers office.  Mr. Wilton has $300 insurance at the Chelsea Mutual, and Mr. Jordan $800 at the Mohawk Valley Farmers, which will cover their losses…

J. A. Whipple and W. B. Jones of Boston, have discovered a process by which the most perfect and beautiful daguerreotype picture can be taken on paper.  The picture are first taken on glass and then transferred to paper.  The number of copies on paper can be multiplied to any desired extent.  This is truly a great discovery.

1852 May 26.  Daily Evening Transcript.  (Boston, Massachusetts.)  May 26, 1852, Vol. XXIII, No. 6715, P. 2.

Daguerreotypes on Paper.  A valuable improvement in daguerreotyping has been made by Mr. J. A. Whipple of this city, in connection with Mr. W. B. Jones.  By a new and delicate process Daguerreotypes can be transferred in the most perfect manner to paper.  We have seen several specimens thus transferred and can testify to the extraordinary accuracy and beauty of the impressions.  The idea of daguerreotyping on paper was first carried out by Mr. Fox Talbot, an English gentleman of fortune, and his invention was called the Talbotype.  The greatest difficulty in his process was the uneven texture and fibrous character of the paper, upon which the images were taken.  Messrs. Whipple and Jones substituted films upon glass for the paper negative of Talbot, for which improvement they secured letters patent in the United States.  The same thing was discovered at about the same time, by

Nepice, a French scientific gentleman; but pictures taken in this manner upon glass still lacked the harmony of light and shade desirable.  Objects in the shade, as in many daguerreotypes, could not be distinguished.  Mr. Whipple has recently improved upon the process so as to obviate this difficulty, and to give to every object represented, the delicate shading of nature.  The pictures we have seen are in every respect equal to the original daguerreotypes in effect, and superior as objects for preservation and parlor ornament.  We commend the curious to an examination of Mr. Whipple’s specimens.

1852 May 27.  Maine Farmer.  (Augusta, Maine.)  May 27, 1852, Vol. XX, No. 22, P. 3.

Talbotypes—Or Daguerreotypes On Paper.  Mr. J. A. Whipple and Mr. W. B. Jones have perfected a process by which the most perfect and beautiful daguerreotype pictures can be taken on paper.  We have seen several pictures of public buildings in the city and other objects taken by this process, which possess the beauty and fine finish and perfect distinctness of engravings, while they have much of the softness of crayon drawings.  The pictures are first taken on glass, and thence transferred to paper; and one great advantage of this process is, that after the image is obtained on glass, the impressions can be multiplied on paper to an indefinite extent; the glass plate serving as a stereotype plate of the picture which is transferred to paper by an easy and simple process.  It is the greatest improvement in daguerreotyping which has yet been made, and we hope will fill the artists’ pockets with “material aid.”  [Traveller.

Massachusetts Charitable Mechanics Association— …The display of Daguerreotypes at both ends of the room attracts very general attention, and many of the pieces appear to be in the highest perfection of the art.

The specimens of Southworth & Hawes, Boston, are greatly admired for their peculiar delicacy of finish.  The likenesses of Judge Woodbury, Mr. Winthrop, Prof. Greenleaf, Justice Merrill, &c, &c, and a copy of the Greek Slave, are at once recognized as perfectly lifelike, and true to the original.

The family groups furnished by J. A. Whipple, Boston, excel in this line—among them we notice the family of Lieut. Gov Reed.  There are also capital heads of Gov Briggs, Hon David Sears, Kah-ge-ga-ge-bowh, and a miniature full length portrait of Daniel Webster.

Other highly creditable specimens are contributed by Messrs Chase, Ives, and Hale & Co., of this city, J. Starkweather, Roxbury, and W. A. Perry & Co., Lowell…

A Family Picture…

Let me say to the young men of Boston, whose parental home is in the country, that if they would awaken the affection that lingers around the family hearth, next to that of their living presence—they should send home a fine daguerreotype—such as Ives, or Ormsby and Silsbee, of Washington street, can produce.  A picture where every feature and expression are so finely delineated, and the tone and color so well preserved, that it appears more the reflection from a mirror, than the result of a chemical process.  Such a present to a parent or sister, would be one of the most valuable that could be made, and should death take the original away, this truthful representation would be invaluable.  In this way, at a trifling expense, a whol;e family may leave a memorial which would be greatly prized by the living.  What amount of money, would purchase from a mother the daguerreotype of her dead son?  With this happy thought I close this family letter.  Yours very truly, G. Q. C.

Daguerreotypes.—The pictures taken by Ives & Black, near the Old South, are unsurpassed for the beauty of their finish and the correctness of their portraiture.  It is almost inexcusable in any one to neglect securing pictures of relatives and friends, in view of the facilities now afforded for doing so.  Years ago, when a miniature was a work of great labor and expense, and then was often dependent upon the partiality of friends to decipher the resemblance it bore to those whom it was intended to represent, a picture of a loved object was not to be hoped for by a poor man—in his memory, alone, could the likeness be cherished, unless, perhaps, it was recalled dimly by some queer old black profile, that hung smoke dried on the wall, like that of “corporal Paul” in Mrs. Partington’s back sitting-room.  But now everyone has it in his power to save the semblance of friends in these exquisite pictures, which look out lovingly upon the living though Death may have claimed the originals years agone.  Messrs Ives & Black execute Talbotypes superbly, and specimens we examined recently, we found it difficult to distinguish from the finest lithographs.

Whipple’s Crysalotypes are charming specimens of this class of daguerreotypes.  All the softness and distinctness of lithography are preserved with the correctness and beauty of the daguerreotype.  The pictures of the President elect and the late R. Rantoul, Jr., may well be referred to in proof of what we say.  Those familiar with the features of these notables may see at a glance the life-likeness preserved in their pictures.  Mr. Whipple’s room abound with splendid specimens of daguerreotypes and crysalotypes, worthy the attention of all interested in art.  Mr. Black, formerly with Ives, presides over the crysalotype department, and the excellence of his productions is a lasting monument of his skill.

To the Ladies and Gentlemen! –Of—Manchester.  Having for the past three or four months listened to, and read in silence, the one thousand and one windy advertisements, and paid Editorial puffs, published and circulated by Daguerreotypists of the city—who have made numberless statements calculated to mislead those unacquainted with business, ad which they cannot prove, I deem it a duty due to myself and the public, to say a few words in regard to the subject in question.

The above named gentlemen (who dislike everything new because they find it difficult to keep up with the improvements of the time,) state that which they do not know to be a fact, that Ambrotypes are worthless, that they will “crack, spot, fade, peel off,” &c.

For the benefit of these ‘would be’ advisers and monopolists, I would say that I will, in presence of witnesses, subject any Ambrotype, made and finished by myself, to tests that will utterly spoil any Daguerreotype, and all without injuring the picture.  And furthermore, I will challenge any operator in the city, whether resident or imported for the occasion, whether a “finished workman” or unfinished, to produce a better picture, either as regards the fineness of chemical effect, delicacy of light and shade, or beauty of finish.

And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, since it has become the fashion, allow me to add my “one word of advice.” Never allow yourselves to be humbugged by Old Fogies; but let your own good sense be your guide both in the selection of pictures and artists.  I would further advise you to call at our gallery and examine our specimens of improved Ambrotypes, put them to any reasonable test, and then decide for yourselves.

I shall continue to devote myself exclusively to the Art.  Pictures executed in any desired, either Ambrotype, Daguerreotype, or Photograph, from the smallest miniature to the full plate, and warranted not to “Spot, fade, peel off,” or spoil in any way.  With ten thousand thanks for the very liberal patronage you have heretofore bestowed up on me, and many hopes for the continuance of the same, I will take my leave, hoping soon to have the pleasure of a personal interview.  Yours Truly, F. D. Hopkins.  85Elm Street, South End Merchants’ Exchange.

Fire Yesterday Noon.  About 1 o’clock, yesterday noon, smoke was seen issuing from an upper window in the rear of Carleton Block, on Merrimack street, and the alarm bell soon brought the fire department to the spot.  It took in a small room occupied by Mr. F. D. Hopkins, daguerreotypist, and contained his apparatus.  It is supposed to have been caused by the heat of the sun thrown by means of a powerful glass upon a quantity of saturated cotton.  It was extinguished with a few buckets of water.  The damage to Mr. Hopkins will not exceed $100.  The building was damaged by the burning of the window casing, &c., to the amount of $40 or $50.  Had the building got well on fire, our citizens would have seen the necessity of keeping the water pipes filled all the time.  The canals were drawn off, as they generally are on Sunday, and no water could be had excepting through the pipes.  Luckliy none was needed.

A Slight Fire.  About 1 o’clock, P. M., on Sunday, fire was discovered in the fourth story of Carleton Block, issuing from the window in a room occupied by Mr. F. D. Hopkins for a laboratory, which is a part of his photograph and ambrotype establishment.  The alarm was given, and in a few moments the Fire Department was fully represented around the building, but its services were not required, as a few buckets of water extinguished the flames.  The supposition is that the fire was set by the rays of the sun operating, through the window glass and a mirror, upon a curtain.  Mr. Hopkins’ loss was about $100; the proprietors of Carleton Block do not lose more than $40 or $50 from the damages. 

Mr. Hopkings is a young artist of decided merit, and we regret that he met with this unpleasant draw-back.  His rooms, however, are now open, and he will be happy to receive the calls of those wanting photographs.

Dead Body Found in the Massabesic.  Yesterday afternoon, some person out with a boat found the dead body of a man, on the east shore of the Massabesic Pond, nearly a quarter of a mile above the island Pond House, 4 miles from the city.  This morning the Mayor and Coroner Rowell, of this city were notified of the fact, and went over.

His pockets were all examined by Corner Rowell in presence of the crowd.  In them nothing was found but two fish-lines, a buckskin mitten and a daguerreotype of a lady; not a copper in money.  The daguerreotype was taken by J. D. Haywood, No. 228 Washington st., Boston; so the plate said.  This may lead to the discovery of the name of the person.  No one present could identify him.

Dead Body Found.  We learn from the Manchester N. H. Mirror that the body of an unknown man apparently 40 years old, was found on Thursday afternoon in Massabesic Pond, near Manchester.  The deceased had apparently fallen through the ice while fishing upon the pond.  A daguerreotype, of a lady, taken by J. D. Heywood, Boston, two fishing lines and a leather mitten were found in the pockets.  He was dressed in grey clothes.
