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.

D. Heywood, Boston, two fishing lines and a leather mitten were found in the pockets.  He was dressed in grey clothes.

1857 October 14.  Boston Semi-Weekly Advertiser.  (Boston, Massachusetts.)  October 14, 1857, Vol. CVII, No. 7995, P. 3.

Photographs.—The extent to which the wonderful invention of the daguerreotype has been pushed, is remarkable, and nowhere has the art of taking portraits been more successful pursued than in this country.  The French and Italian artists seem to have been most happy in their views of public buildings, ruins, and of statuary; we have seen no stereoscopic views of natural scenery, or of family groups, more skilfully done than the English; but for portraits our American artists thus far, we believe, are acknowledged to be unrivalled throughout the world.  This is doubtless owing to the fact that especial pains has been devoted in this country to this department of the art.  Photographic views of faces are now taken with such facility and accuracy that families are greatly to be blamed if they neglect to provide themselves with a faithful memorial of those whom absence or death may soon withdraw, perhaps unexpectedly, from the family circle.  There was a time when the miniature of a friend was a luxury only to be possessed by those who could afford to pay liberally for the painting, and who were willing to exact from the sitter the patient tribute of affection required by his oft-repeated visits to the painter’s studio.  Now they may be obtained for an expenditure of time and money altogether inconsiderable.

We have been led to these remarks by the examination of some fine photographic portraits executed by Messrs. Lay & Heywood, whose gallery is at No. 173 Washington street.  They are possessed of every facility for the successful prosecution of their art, they are patient and persevering in their efforts to please their sitters, and in the cases which have fallen under our eye, their executions have been crowned with remarkable success.

Our Photographic Illustrations.  Our Photographic Illustrations this month, we consider decided improvements on our former efforts.  In comparing these with the, so-called, plain photographs of the practical photographer, it must be born in mind that ours do not receive the slightest touch from the brush or pencil.  They are what they purport to be, true photographs.  When this comparison is made, we have no doubt all will consider ours of the present month, quite equal to any printed.  The first is

A Group; Negative by J. B. Heywood, of Boston.

Containing portraits of four of Boston’s celebrities.  This negative and several positives we have received from Mr. Heywood, place him in the front rank of American Photographic artists.

A Photograph Of Zanfretta.  We can imagine the excitement which this announcement will create.  Beardless youths, gray-haired sires, all classes of people, will be found eager in the rush for the first copy of the likeness of the unmatched Marietta.  The lucky photographer, J. B. Heywood, 173 Washington street, will have to enlarge his apartments to accommodate the throng.  If the photograph looks half as attractive as the original, in her daring feats of fancy, the town will suffer an attack of ecstatic delight only to be appeased by a thorough circulation of the picture.  We hope the artist has indulged in no efforts to improve upon the subject of his sketch, but has represented her as she appears when flushed with the conquest of a thousand hearts and eyes in one of her unrivalled evolutions upon the cord on which hangs her great reputation.

Very Striking.—Mr. Heywood, the excellent daguerreotypist, No. 173 Washington street, has sent up a fine photograph of our little Junior.  We don’t know what we have done that we should be obliged to take this picture home and have it stare us in the face every Sunday, after looking at the ugly original six days in the week.

 City And Suburban Affairs.  Street Pictures.  Those who saunter up and down the principal streets of the city fine much to amuse their leisure moments in examining the pictures put out by daguerrean saloons, to attract customers.  There are seen all styles and degrees of art, and pictures ranging in price from 12 and a-half cents to twice as many dollars.  All sorts of subjects have placed themselves under the direction of operators, and every kind of feature and all ages delineated.  Women,—good looking women,—appear to have been the best customers, but some artists have made children’s dear little faces their especial study, and put out dozens of darling pictures for the admiration of mothers, and the delight of young married couples.

Others have worked upon landscapes, or copied paintings.  Some depend altogether upon the finish of their pictures, to secure custom; many have no other claim but the low price for which they operate.  All or nearly all, seem to delight in being able to show likenesses of well-known persons—popular preachers or actors, statesmen, lawyers or public officers.  Our reporter had the curiosity, a day or two since, to note down some of the most familiar faces put forth as signs, and attractions, to secure the notice and patronage of the public.  Below is given a brief statement of the result of his labors, on Washington street:—

Beginning at Washington street, the first establishment is the well-known one of Whipple & Black, who hangs out large pictures of Marshall P. Wilder, Anson Burlingame, and the honest face of Col. Thomas C. Amory.

At 109, L. H. Hall[2] [sic.] hangs out his sign and picture, but shows no familiar faces.

H. M. Hooton[3], at 113, exhibits pictures of  Father O’Haggerty and the popular John Gilbert.

At 123, we see the “Singing Sisters” and the good natured countenance of Mr. Knapp of the Police Court.

At No. 140 a few pictures are shown, but the artist does not hang out his name.[4]

J. Bent has succeeded Collagan, and makes fine pictures at 142.  John C. Cluer is among the notables hung out here.

Heywood[5], at 173, shows the familiar faces of Rufus Choate, Gen. Wilson, Mayor Lincoln, Col. Schouler, Judge Abbott, Charles Mathews, Warren, Frank Whitman, Vanderhoff, Henry Wallack, and Zanfretta.

At Ormsbee’s, No. 209, we see Rev. Dr. Stone, surrounded by a bevy of handsome women, and pretty children.

Davis, at the corner of Winter street, hangs out a host of cheap pictures, taken from a crowd of visitors.

James & Co., corner of Summer street, hangs out pictures of Gov. Banks, Dodge the singer, and Proctor the actor, but relies for custom mainly on a well-earned reputation for taking about the best low-priced pictures in Boston.  Those that don’t believe this should visit his saloon and be satisfied.

Cahill, at 293, don’t exhibit many pictures of prominent persons.

Masury, at 289, and Silsbee, Case & Co., at 299½, have quite a rivalry, and each strives to get the best pictures, and the most customers.  The former exhibits the genial face of Father Taylor, side by side with Edward Everett, and Mrs. Wood the actress.  Some fine colored pictures are shown.—The rival establishment comes out with Forrest, Young Booth, Rev. T. S. King, John P. Hale, Ex-Gov. Boutwell, and his excellency, Gov. Banks, in winter costume, looking for all the world, as if just getting in readiness to cut off the doomed head of Judge Lorning.

Wyman & Co., at No. 335, exhibits Banks in summer costume, evidently just from his farm in Waltham.

What was seen in other streets will be told at some future time.

Heywood’s Photographs.  Who that passes the doors of photographs or daguerreotypes does not notice the difference not only in the style of execution, but in the kind of faces exhibited?  In one case you will see the pert features of a young lady, conscious that she is “sitting “ and endeavoring to look killing, or the smart vulgarity of grown-up boys, with cigars in their mouths, perhaps, and hats set jauntily on one side.  The beholder, if he is a man of taste, passes by; “My face is not to be seen in such company,” he thinks.  He stops again; he sees the likenesses of respectable, earnest-looking men and women whom he would not be ashamed to meet: he is attracted, and stops if he wants his picture for his wife, or his friends.

Such a place we are sure all our readers will find at the excellent establishment of Mr. Heywood, 172 [sic.] Washington street, not far from the head of Milk street.  His pictures are marked at once by force and delicacy.  The faces seem to have been artistically placed, and a pleasing effect produced, while nothing of truth to nature is sacrificed.  His collection embraces many of the eminent men of our city.  We mention those that struck us most, and not the great names merely.  Among them are the likenesses of His Honor, the Mayor, Hon. Moses Kimball, Judge Abbott, Billings the artist, Judge Shaw and Mr. Choate.  We don’t know, too, but we should mention that of the senior editor of this paper,—the best likeness, his juniors think, ever taken of him.

A Marine Photograph.—Heywood, at 173 Washington St., has produced a very fine portrait of the iron ship Seston, just sailed for India.  It is a splendid specimen of art.  The spars and the tracery of the rigging are distinctly and delicately drawn, and the whole affords an excellent proof of the advantage of photography, in the hands of an artist, in copying still life, such as buildings, ships, monuments, &c.  The picture may be seen at Mr. Heywood’s rooms.

A Fine Photograph of Mr. Pangborn of the Bee has just been finished by J. B. Heywood, 173 Washington street, and Mr. H. has succeeded in producing a very superior picture, from what—and we say it with no feeling of assumption on account of superior good looks—may be regarded as so unfavorable subject.  The aspect is the aspect is the amiably reflective, and one that appears to sit naturally and gracefully upon him.  Those who have been familiar with the face on the rostrum during the late campaign will flock to see this new phase of it.

1858 December 15.  The Atlas and Daily Bee.  (Boston, Massachusetts.)  December 15, 1858, Vol. XXXIII, No. 5158, P. 2.

The steadily increasing popularity of the photographic art is not a matter to surprise us—these pictures are so much superior in every respect to other styles of portraits, and are now produced with such exquisite skill and at comparatively little expense, that it is no marvel that they are sought after.  Especially is it the case when they are judged by such specimens as Heywood exhibits at his rooms, 173 Washington street.

The array of beauty at the grand Mt. Vernon ball, last night, was all that the most sanguine predicted or hoped.  It was a scene to be enjoyed and remembered, and as we looked upon the beautiful faces radiant with loveliness and beaming with pleasure, we thought that they ought to be preserved in some enduring form.  For this there is no better way, and none so easy, as that afforded by the photographic art in which Heywood, at 173 Washington street is so completely au fait.  We saw, yesterday, at his rooms, a magnificent picture—a group, comprising nineteen faces and figures—of the teachers of the Old Colony Mission Sabbath School.  It is rarely that an artist succeeds so well in taking a large group, but Heywood seems equal to the achievement of anything possible in photography.

National Typographical Convention.  Fifth Day…

 The Mayor of the city was then introduced to the delegates and made a neat speech, which was received with three cheers. 

The members of the Convention then assembled around the statute of Franklin, where they were received with songs from Morris Brothers, Pell & Trowbridge’s opera troupe.  A photograph of the members of the Convention, in a body, was then taken by Mr. Heywood.

1859 May 10.  The Atlas and Daily Bee.  (Boston, Massachusetts.)  May 10, 1859, Vol. XXXIV, No. 5279, P. 2.

Heywood, the artist, has made a magnificent picture of the group of delegates to the National Typographical Convention and their friends of the Boston Printers Union.  The gentlemen were assembled around the Franklin statute in front of City Hall, and Mr. Heywood has succeed so admirably, in this photograph that although there are so many full length figures in the group, nearly every one can be easily recognized.  The whole picture is a great triumph of the photographic art, and the details and appointments of the whole scene are admirable.  To printers in other parts of the country this is a most desirable picture, as it not only gives them an accurate representation of their brethren in the group, but includes a perfect view of the statue of Franklin.  Every printing office in the country should have a copy, and the photograph is handsome enough to adorn the walls of any house.  Mr. Heywood has also taken stereoscopic views like the photograph, which are excellent copies.  The pictures may be seen at his rooms, 173 Washington street.

Likeness Of Rufus Choate.  We mentioned briefly yesterday the photographic likeness of Rufus Choate, made by Mr. J. B. Heywood, 173 Washington street.  It deserves a second notice.  Mr. Heywood has been long known for his superior artistic skill in executing photographs, and in this picture of Mr. Choate he has most fully sustained his reputation as an artist.  Those who would have a picture which will always remind them exactly how Rufus Choate looked should secure one of the Heywood photographs.

Removal.  That popular artists J. B. Heywood, who has achieved such deserved celebrity for his imperial photographs and superior daguerreotypes, has removed from 173 Washington street to No. 10 Tremont Row.  He has fitted up in this new location a most elegant and convenient suite of rooms, to which he will be happy to welcome all his old friends and customers and as many new one as choose to call.  The superiority of Heywood’s pictures is universally acknowledged, and his new location, with it superior fixtures and appointments will add to his reputation and business.

1886 May 25.  Manuscript letter from Heywood, John B.  Correspondence between Sally Pierce, former Curator of Prints and Photographs at the Boston Athenaeum, Boston, Massachusetts and Karl Gridley.

Topeka, Kansas, May 25th, 1886.

At the request of Mr. F. G. Adams of the State Historical Society of Kansas, I have a short history of the two-third length photograph of John Brown which hangs in the State Historical Society’s rooms, which original Negative was taken by my own hands about the fall or summer of 1859.  Mr. Brown was brought to my place of business, 173 Washington street, Boston, Mass., by Dr. Webb, the s\Secretary of the New England Emigrant Aid Society, and introduced to me by him, with a request that I make a Negative of him to be preserved (as in the Doctor’s own words at the time) he was a person destined to become famous in history.  It has since been said to me by different individuals that the officers of the N. E. E. A. Society were cognizant of the destination of Brown at this time.  Dr. Webb was a personal friend, and told me afterwards they knew nothing of the matter.  Before the execution of Brown, his wife came to Boston and was brought to my place.  (If my recollection serves me right.)  She had one or two children with her.  She then was on her way to Virginia to take charge of her husbands’ body, after the execution.  I disposed of my business afterwards to J. W. Black.  This original negative went with the collection into his hands.  J. B Heywood, Greencastle, Mo.

Mr. Editor:—The time was, and it is yet within the remembrance of every adult, when the only means of preserving the likeness of dear relatives and friends was by means of the portrait, so expensive that its possession was deemed a luxury, and enjoyed only by the rich.  But now how changed None, however slender the means, are denied the opportunity of possessing on plate, enduring as the product of the artists pencil, the form, features and expression of those whom in life we loved, and whose memory now we fondly cherish.

The Daguerrian art did not, as the goddess Minerva from the head of Jupiter, at once spring into perfect proportions and symmetry; but like all other arts, has slowly, but perseveringly attained, by a discipline of about fifteen years, its perfect degree of excellence and beauty.  ‘Twere a wonder, surely, by the exhibition of Medusa’s head, to transform the object into stone, a wonder greater, by the exhibition of oneself to fix indelibly its like, living, breathing, almost speaking, upon the sensitive tablet.

The preceding remarks, together with the following, were suggested by the recent opening of Hawe’s Daguerrian Rooms, over the Express Office of Messrs. Davenport & Mason.

The city, sir, has removed to the country, and we wish to inform you and the country of it.  Said one, and no mean critic,—“Such rooms cannot be found in Massachusetts, out of Boston, and I know of but one there equal to them, but in no degree superior.”  Mr. H. has, in the preparation of his rooms, had special regard to convenience and elegance, sparing no expense for the attainment of both.  Designing to become a fixture in this community, he only wishes to share with his brother in the reception of public patronage.  Mr. H. brings with him the experience of five years, laboriously acquired in one of the oldest and most popular establishments in Boston.

As we enter, from the “Court Side” of Main street, the lower door, we are greeted by many familiar faces, themselves well pleased, seem to invite us in.  As we examine the specimens that line the passage way, curiosity and pleasure insensibly allure us up, step by step, till before we are aware, we have reached the floor of the rooms.  The door at the left introduces us into a room of moderate dimensions, well and tastefully furnished.  This is the common reception room, containing a show case, in which are exhibited miniatures cases of all sizes, patterns, descriptions, and of course prices.  The room, however, is but the anti-chamber to the spacious and elegant drawing room.   This is the room of the suite.—furnished complete with splendid sofas, mirrors, chairs, tables &c., all of costly material, neatest styles, and highest finish.

Adjoining and continuous with this, is the operating room, which, whenever occasion requires, can be entirely disconnected by letting fall the ample folds of rich damask curtains.  These with the ornaments above and around enhance the beauty and of fact of the rest.

Throwing aside now the curtains, we enter the operating room.  There is but little here to attract, save the Camera of various sizes, standing on tripods around, the large screens on either hand and above for regulating the quantity and modifying the intensity of the light, and other nondescript fixtures, to gather with the magnificent carpet which also covers the floor of other rooms.  Ascending two or three steps you then enter the sanctum of Mr. H.  Here more objects are visible than can now be described; but within this, like a nest of boxes, is the innermost retreat of all, where neither eye nor step of the vulgar can intrude.

The style of the pictures taken by Mr. H. differ in some respect from those ordinarily met with, in respect to greater softness and deeper tone of expression; the transition of light and shade being less abrupt but none the less pleasing.

In the perfection of any daguerrian specimen much depends upon the ease and grace of position; for however distinct and perfect the features and expression of the countenance may be, if the body, arms or hands are in a constrained and awkward position, the eye is offended, the picture rejected and the artist disesteemed.  In these respects Mr. H. will yield the palm to none.

Mr. H. being by his experience and opportunities initiated into the most recent improvements in his art and possessing Cameras of different sizes and other necessary appliances, is prepared to take pictures of any desirable size, either singly or in groups, also those in which the bust alone appears or those of smaller size suitable for breast-pins, lockets or finger rings.

Much more might be told, but this must suffice; and now we close this communication by advising those wishing daguerreotypes to visit the rooms of Mr. Hawes and verify our description.

Hawes’ Daguerreotype Rooms.  Just opened, at A. F. Hawes’ Daguerreotype Rooms, in Davenport & Mason’s Express Building, a splendid assortment of Lockets, Pins, Frames and Fancy Cases of all the latest styles.  Mr. Hawes would say that he is prepared to do the best work that can be done in his line, in the Country, and having just bought a Quick instrument, expressly for taking Pictures of Children, With which Likenesses can be taken in Two Seconds, the great difficulty from not keeping Children still, will be overcome, and he is consequently able to warrant perfect satisfaction in this, as well as in all other work done by him.

To The Photographers Throughout the New England States.  Special Notice For Immediate Action By The New England Photographic Society.  Boston May 8, 1865.  Whereas, William E. P. Smythe and Timothy H. Hubbard have commenced an action of trespass in regard to the use of Bromide of Potassium, and have placed an injunction on each of the following named rooms of Boston, to wit:  W. H. Dole, Hanover Street; B. C. Hazelton, Washington street; T. R. Burnham, Washington street; W. H. Wardwell, Wahington street; S. A. King, School street; Fisher Brothers, Washington street; and intend commencing suits against other parties in Boston and throughout the New England States.

Now, according to the best of our judgement, after an experience of from five to twenty-five years in the business we, the undersigned, believe that the so called Bromide patent cannot be sustained, and are determined to fight it to the  “last ditch,” and for this reason we have formed an association for mutual benefit and protection determined to [deterd] its members throughout the New England States from any law suit arising from this so called Bromide Patent.

Now To Whom It May Concern.  We, the undersigned, would most respectfully invite our brother artists throughout the New England States to join our Association, and send on ten dollars initiation fee to the Treasurer, from whom they will receive a receipt and certificate of Membership, and to those who do not wish to join the Association, but take an interest in the cause for which we are contending, any amount from one dollar upwards would be thankfully received, and a receipt given in return.  E. L. Allen, President, W. H. Mumler, Secretary.

All letters containing money must be directed to John Leahy, Treasurer of the N. E. Photographic Association.  113 Washington street, Boston.

Daguerreian Circular

Come Ladies and Gentlemen, Come youth and old age,

Come call at the Octagon Daguerreian Saloon;

Come Priest and come people, Philosopher, Sage,

Come, give us a call very soon.

Just come in and see if you want nothing more,

With pleasure we wait upon all.

Call in again if you’ve been in before.

Tell your friends we wish them to call.

In the Daguerreotype line we think we can please,

As it has been our employment for years;

We study position to give grace and ease,

And for beauty of tone have no fears,

At all times, in all weather, our light is so good.

In a moment your picture is done—

So perfect no fault you could find, if you would—

Unless you’d find fault with the sun.

There hangs on our walls in beautiful groups,

the statesman and Poet and sage;

the beautiful Lily in sunshine of life,

And also the white locks of age;

the round chubby face of the Infant is there,

Like sunshine that falls among flowers;

The Miss with soft cheek, and the Matron so fair,

Might rival a Titian or Powers.

Single or in Groups, the style the first best,

In Lockets, in cases or Frames—

In Rings for the finger, or Pins for the Breast,

Our pictures are always the same.

The Daguerreotype Art—We are pleased at all times to note advancement and give credit wherever it is due.  Wishing to send some ambrotypes to a foreign correspondents, we repaired to Boston to have a proof of our physiognomy transferred to glass in as good a style as possible, engaged the services of one of her best artist, and got what we thought good pictures; but, happening to show them to a somewhat critical friend, he offered to take us here in Cambridgeport and give us something better if we would just take the trouble to go and sit for it.  We did so, and when it was done, we had to acknowledge that Messrs. Metcalf & Harley, at the corner of Main and Inman streets, had carried off the palm and had given us the best impression; and we would advise all who want a life-like picture to give them a call.

About half-way between the grave yard and our camp, Yankee enterprise had exhibited itself by adding an L to an island cabin, and locating therein an ambrotype saloon—but, as it was beyond the reach of any but a few lucky ones, the speculation could not have been very remunerative.  The specimens I saw from there would hardly pass muster as other than caricatures beside those from our Cambridge artists, Messrs Harley & Metcalf…

Hardy, successor to that celebrated artist T. H. [sic.] Cathan[2], No. 20 Washington street, up stairs.  For correctness of expression, beauty of finish and delicacy of coloring, his pictures cannot be excelled by those of any artist in the city.  His prices, also, are exceedingly reasonable.

Daguerreotypes.—Spring has come, and those who are in want of a good and pleasing picture should secure it now, while they are free from the tan and and freckles are ever attendant on this season of the year.  And we would advise all our friends, who are in want of one to call on Mr. Hardy, 20 Washington street.  For softness of expression and beauty of finish, his pictures are excelled by none.
