Ambrotypes!  Levi D. Johnson Takes pleasure in announcing that he is now ready to put up these New And Beautiful Pictures in every variety of style.

The Ambrotype is made with Two Glasses, cemented together with an indestructible cement, so that it can Never Fade, But will retain its brilliancy For Ages.  It is taken in less than one fourth the time required in the quickest Daguerreotype process; is not reversed, can be seen at any angle, and has none of that Blueness or Haziness, Which so often mar the beauty of the Daguerreotype.

All are invited to call at my Saloon Near the Sullivan House, And examine Specimens.

Eastman’s Daguerreotypes, Ambrotypes, Photographs, Talbotypes, &c., are, to say the least, decidedly in advance of anything yet seen in the country.  He is now taking Ambrotypes of the astonishing size of 10 by 14 inches, of a startling life likeness.  The counterfeit presentment of the [sitter] seems to be bodily and spiritually with you and ready to take part in conversation.  Mr. Eastman, by long and close application has made himself master of his profession, making, himself, many of his sensitive chemicals, and without regard to expense has surrounded himself, at his rooms over the Claremont Bank, with all the appliances and facilities of a city establishment of the first order.  Indeed, there are but few city operatives who can complete with him.

We advise everybody, who can afford it, to have a Cabinet size Ambrotype.  Price from $10 to $15. According to the richness of the setting.  Youth and beauty is fleeting.  Old age and wrinkles come on apace.  Secure the prize while you may and which time will render invaluable.
