Wilmington, Dec 9th, 1854.  Mr. Editor:—It is well known that Mr. Whitehurst’s enterprise, as a Daguerrean Artist, is second to that of none other in the Union.  Not only has he branches established in many of our principal cities; but his reputation is known throughout the land; and the Medals which have been awarded him by competent Judges, are but a simple tribute to the triumphs of well-directed talent.

But, one word with special reference to his Wilmington Gallery, and the intelligent and accomplished operator Mr. Mallon, who seems to have an inveterate habit of casting delicate reflections by the plate full.  Having frequently visited Mr. Mallon’s rooms, I became much impressed with an opinion of his superior merits as an artist.  His pictures in tone, beauty and finish, rank high; while his frank, unassuming and courteous manners, cannot, I am sure, fail of winning the respect and patronage of those who may make his acquaintance.  A prominent feature of his rooms, is a neatness that I’ve rarely witnessed in any of the galleries visited in my travels.  Surely, thought I, Mr. Mallon’s gallery in the place where youth and loveliness go to get a correct semblance of life; and, judging by the pictures I saw, I am of opinion that Wilmington is not a whit behind her sister cities in the beauty of her fair daughters.  I would advise all who desire a correct, life-like picture, to call on Mr. Mallon at once, whose long experience in connection with one of the first galleries in New York city, is the surest guarantee of his ability as a Daguerrian Artist.

This simple notice has been written without the knowledge or consent of Mr. Mallon, believing that his real merit deserves this word of commendation.  F.

We invite attention to the advertisement in another column of Mr. Mallon, Daguerreotypist.  From the recommendations he has received through the public prints, we opine he is amply qualified to execute likenesses second to none.

The subscriber would inform the Ladies and Gentlemen of Greensboro’ and vicinity, that he has taken rooms at Mrs. M. Adams’ where he will be pleased to see all who may wish to secure an unfading likeness, or one of those almost living, breathing, speaking Stereoscopic pictures, he has a fine assortment of fancy and all other styles of Cases and frames on hand, all of which will be filled with Daguerreotypes and sold on moderate terms.  With his long experience in the art, and the improvements in chemicals and aparatuses [sic.], he has in his possession, he feels confident that he will be able to please the most fastidious.  As his stay will be but short, he trusts that all will visit his rooms and examine his stock and specimens whether they may wish pictures or not.  M. M. Mallon.

Phew!  How tired a fellow feels!  How sleepy I am, to be sure!  I kinder sorter calculate “Old Rip” has had a nap broken during the past days of festivity, jollity, sunshine, rain and mud.  Beg pardon for yawning in company; but it would have required a small patent jaw-breaker, to have restrained me from gaping in my present condition of somniferous oblivion.  Speaking of “patents” puts one in mind of the “Fair”—not a “Patent Fair”—but of the “Masheens” that crowded the Fair Grounds.  Wall yer see, as heow what particarly attracted my attention, was the “Floral Hall,” happy name that.—Makes us think of all kinds of flowers!  Wall Flowers, and I guess yer deont oftent see many prettier wall flowers than was on exhibition by “Havens & Mallon.”  Ay golly; but they were good!  I laughed till I felt I was about to go off into a  “hysterical decline” at one chap, who spoke to one of the “pictures,” thinking that one of the directors had got into a recess and was looking at him with sharp eyes.  We scarce remember of ever having seen better likenesses—the eyes, the little curl of the lips, the construction of the brows, all were so minutely delineated by these inimitable daguerreans, that we do not blame the “chap” for speaking to any of them.  Well I am mighty sorry I can’t keep my eyes open; but it is no go, so good-buy.  Tempus Fuget Et Nos Run After It.

Beautiful Pictures.—Improvements in the Daguerrean art, or sun-painting, have of late years been made, until the at has almost become perfect.  Even the most accurate portrait painting can be rivalled.—No one should neglect an opportunity, when one occurs, of having his likeness taken, when it can be had at such a trifling cost, by this new an improved process; especially here, where one cannot go at all times, and sit for one.  Mr. Mallon, late of the gallery of Havens & Mallory, of Raleigh, is now in this place, and is prepared to take likenesses at the lowest prices, in the most approved and perfect manner.  His Daguerrean gallery in Raleigh was one of the best we have ever seen, and pictures taken by them, were pronounced unrivalled, and received the highest encomiums of praise from The New York Photographic Journal of Fine Arts; they also received the first and only premium at the State Fair of the Agricultural Society.  We noticed that the old Daguerreotype has been almost entirely superseded by the new processes of taking pictures under the names of Ambrotype, Photograph, and Cameotype.  By this last process, the pictures appear to stand boldly out, as it were, upon a light background, being more life-like, accurate and brilliant, than by any other process yet discovered.  Besides, they will remain as brilliant and perfect for an unlimited time, as when first taken.  The Cameotype is an invention of Mr. Mallon. 

Mr. Mallon’s gallery is at the Odd Fellows Hall, where he is prepared to take pictures at all hours of the day, and in any weather.  those wishing a perfect likeness would do well to give him a call immediately, as his stay here will necessarily be short owing to engagements elsewhere.

The Judson Gallery.—Seeing it announced by parties that I am associated with various Photographic and Ambrotype Galleries in this city, and feeling that this a constant embarrassment to myself, as well as leading the public to believe that I am not really connected with any.  I have found it necessary to make an arrangement with one of these establishments.  Desirous to form one that would give the joint pictures an artistic value.  I have selected the best Operator in the city in A. Judson, No. 238 Broad st., one door above the Canal, whom I havealso long considered the best Ambrotypist in the United States.

Having for a long term of years been conversant with the higher branches of the art, and constantly making it a study, my partnership with this establishment will add to the merit of the truly elegant pictures which Mr. Judson produces, and will, I feel confident, secure to this Gallery the favor of the public.  John McDougall.

Something New!  Photographs Painted In Oil!!  W. M. Naramore respectfully announces that he is now prepared to make Pictures that surpass anything ever before produced in this State, viz:  Photographs taken upon canvass and painted in oil.

These Pictures, which may be of any required size, from a miniature to the Size Of Life, combine beauty of color, durability, and the highest artistic finish, with the perfection of Photographic art, and are therefore unequalled.

We have secured the co operation and assistance of Mr. C. Curtis, whose reputation and skill enables us to Defy Competition; and in proof of our assertion we invite the public to call at P. B. Segee’s Store, No. 1 Sterling Block, and examine the Portrait of Rev. Dr. Hewit, just completed by us.  At our rooms, 230 Main Street, may also be seen other specimens of the art, together Photographs painted in water colors, plain, &c.

N. B.—Persons having Daguerreotypes, Ambrotypes or any other pictures of deceased friends can have them copied and made perfect Portraits of any required size.  Children should be brought between the hours of 10 and 2 o’clock on a clear day.  Pictures of adults taken equally well in clear or cloudy weather.

be witnessed by looking at the likeness of Mr. Geo. P. Sanborn at the store of J. C. Blackman,

and that of Rev. Dr. Hewit at the store of P. B. Segee.  The coloring is beautiful, and would do

honor to artist of greater pretensions than Messrs. Naramore & Curtis, while the likenesses we 

think, could hardly be excelled by any.  They may truly be called ‘master-pieces’ of portrait

painting.  Go and see them; and if you want a correct picture, one that really looks life-like, call

Daguerreotypes.—This method of taking likenesses, is one of the most astonishing discoveries of the age.  Had the discovery been made in the seventeenth century, the author would no doubt have been regarded as a witch, and perhaps been hung or burnt at the stake.  The improvements that have been recently made in the art, are very great.  Not only are the form and features correctly given, but those taken by Mr. Cary, now at Sterling’s Building, give also, to a remarkable degree, the colors of the face.  We examined some dozen or more likenesses, in an unfinished state, at his room, last week, and were surprised at the improvement in this respect.  Some of them were almost as true as life.—We recognized every face with which we were acquainted, at the very first glance.  Among the number, were the likenesses of two children, (brother and sister,) on one plate.—They were complete.  Mr. Cary remains here another week.

The Daguerreotype Process.—Messrs. Editors:  There is no memorial of a departed friend so valuable as an accurate picture that will recall those features which are once so familiar.  This new process affords the means of procuring such a picture by the sitting of a few seconds, which in beauty and accuracy, much exceeds the ordinary miniature painted on ivory.  What can be more accurate than the shadow of an object we would copy, and I am sure nothing can be more beautiful than the colored daguerreotypes, which Mr. Cary of the Sterling Buildings is every day preparing for those who visit his rooms.

This process may be considered as having reached its perfection, for I am sure no one can see the pictures which Mr. Cary furnishes by the aid of the pencil, without feeling that no greater accuracy or beauty, could possibly be attained.  So it appears to me.  Observer.
