Miniature Portraits By Daguerreotype, Over J. S. Perkins & Co.’s, entrance 178 Essex Street. Messrs. Keene & Cannon respectfully invite the attention of the citizens of Salem and vicinity, to their new Daguerreotype Establishment.  Having obtained all the improvements in the photographic process, and procured a Camera, manufactured expressly for themselves, directly from the studio of Professor Morse, of New York, they will guarantee Miniature Portraits, unsurpassed incorrectness and beauty by any like establishment in the Union.  And no person will be permitted to take pictures from their room unless perfectly satisfactory.—Their pictures are entirely free from that unnatural and distorted appearance which is so often seen in productions of the kind; nor is the subject detained with long and tedious sittings, but in a few moments after entering the room, he may gaze on a facsimile of himself, of Nature’s own penciling, as perfect as when reflected on a mirror; and far surpassing in precision and minuteness of delineation, the pencil of the most accomplished artist.

In conclusion they would remark, that they esteem the good old proverb, “by their works shall ye know them,” and by it they are willing to be tried.  Call at their room, and at Mr. Whipple’s Bookstore, and examine specimens.

Miniatures set in cases, from $4 to $5.  Groups taken if required.  Instructions $25.  Apparatus and materials furnished to pupils of superior quality

Daguerreotype Portraits.  We invite the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Messrs. Keene & Cannon.  We have seen several of the portraits taken by this process, and they have been the most spirited and striking likenesses imaginable.

1841 August 9.  Salem Register.  (Salem, Massachusetts.)  August 9, 1841, Vol. XLI, No. 63, P. 2.

Daguerreotype Miniatures.  We would call the attention of or readers to the new Daguerreotype Establishment of Messrs. Keene & Cannon, in the chamber over the store of J. S. Perkins & Co., entrance No. 178 Essex street.  Their apparatus, manufactured expressly for themselves, in complete, and embraces all the improvements in the photographic process, recently introduced into this country.—The miniatures executed by them are wonderfully perfect, and surpass in correctness and beauty any that we have ever seen; they as far exceed those that have ever before come under our notice, as an exquisitely finished steel engraving does one coarsely and clumsily executed on wood.  Indeed, we can conceive of nothing which can be added to make these pictures more life-like, unless it be the colors and tints of nature itself.  In this respect only, if at all, can a painted portrait be preferred.  In all others, in accuracy and minuteness of delineation, in the striking correctness of the features, in the delicate alterternations of light and shade, the Daguerreotype Miniature is as much superior to a painting, as the veritable productions of Nature are to the pencillings of the most accomplished artist.—These superiorities, together with the ease with which the likenesses are taken, (requiring a sitting of only a minute or two) and the low price at which they can be obtained, must render them exceedingly popular.  If any one thinks our assertions overwrought, let them call at the studio of Messrs Keene & Cannon, examine some of their specimens, and satisfy himself of the wonderful results of this process.  A picture comprising more than one individual can be taken, if required, and this fact will afford families a good opportunity to obtain interesting collections.—Several very beautiful representations of children in groups have been executed by the gentlemen of whose artistical efforts we have been speaking.

What new wonders may be in store for us from further improvements, we know not.  Daguerre, the originator of the process, is constantly making important improvements, and the able Paris correspondent of the National Intelligencer writes that he has nearly perfected his invaluable discovery, in obtaining instantaneous impressions by means of electricity.  A slight haze, however, is left on the impression, which he wishes to correct before he exhibits the results of his new process.  Daguerre’s friends boast that he has now rendered it easy to copy the largest assembly of persons, with their momentary countenances and most animated gestures!

Daguerreotype Portraits.  The operations of Messrs. Keene & Cannon, in taking portraits by the Daguerreotype process, are very successful.  Many of the specimens which we have seen have the effect of the most spirited crayon drawings, combined with an accuracy of delineation which the human hand can rarely equal.  The time occupied in taking a portrait, is but a few seconds, so that it can be taken by the busiest person, without inconvenience.

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.

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…

Daguerreotyping.—Among all the inventions of the busy train of man, the daguerreotype must take high rank for the pleasure which it contributes to the social economy.—The art places within the reach of all, the most valuable mementoes of beloved friends—whose features, imbedded in silver radiant with life, may cheer many a lonely hour among strangers in a strange land, or if their counterparts no more gladden the earth with their living presence, will be doubly cherished as among the dearest memorials.  The value of a daguerreotype can only be estimated from the vain regret which is often felt by those who have parted with those they love, without such a speaking image to appeal to the eye as their memories speak to the heart.  In looking into Jordan’s Rooms, near Patch & Lewis’ Bookstore, the other day, we noticed some counterfeit presentments of life—well known among us.  Jordan takes his pictures in good taste and puts them in any desired style or case.  His assortment of lockets and seals, designed for one, two or four pictures each, is [very] fine. 

1855 December 20.  Bangor Daily Journal.  (Bangor, Maine.)  December 20, 1855, Vol. 2, No. 100, P. 2.

Lockets!  The best assortment of Gold Lockets that can be found in the city is kept by Jordan, the Daguerreotypist, No. 2 Smith’s Block.  Lockets with four Glasses, called the family Locket, very beautiful; Locket Rings, &c.

People coming in from the country, if not aware of the fact, should take notice that it is nevertheless true that he sells Lockets with a Daguerreotype set in it for less money than the Locket can be bought of any jeweler in the city.

His long practice in the beautiful art of Daguerreotyping enables him to produce likenesses which for durability and life-like appearance cannot fail to give satisfaction.

The following is a statement of his business during 1855.

Capital Investment…………$22,000

Va. Of Pictures, &c.………..$38,000

Material used……….………$18,000

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.

—Our old friend, Mr. Robert S. Jones has become the successor of Mr. Retser in I the daguerrean art in this place.  Mr. Jones was a pupil of Retser for a considerable time, and spent a greater portion of last summer in perfecting himself among the artists of his profession in the North, and now he takes pictures equal to his instructors, and we hope the community will extend to him a generous patronage.  Mr. Jones has some daguerreotype views of Niagara Falls and other places of note, which he took while on his northern tour, that have been pronounced equal if not superior, to any ever taken.  It was untrue that our friend Jones lost his life when the Henry Clay Steamer was burned on the Hudson River last summer, for the very good reason that he did not happen to be on board of her, and all who may have heard the report, will become convinced of the truth of our statement by calling at his Gallery on Main street, and getting their pictures taken.—Charlotteville, (Va.)
