Ambrotypes.  New Style of Likenesses!  Daguerreotypes Superseded!!  Ambrotypes are far superior to the ordinary Daguerreotype for many reasons, viz:  They are finer and more beautiful; they do not reverse the position, as the Daguerreotype does; they can be seen in any light; they are taken in a much shorter time, therefore the expression is more lifelike.

They can be made double, so as to show two pictures instead of one.  They are sealed between two Glasses, and will never fade!  There is a softness and a brilliancy in this new style of picture which has never been obtained in the old Daguerreotype process.

Persons wishing to see this new style of Picture are invited to call at the rooms of the undersigned at the Opelousas Varieties, where they will remain until the first of October.  Clark & Hedrick.

New Daguerrian Rooms.—Those handsome daguerreotypes that hang on the outer wall of the Emporium Block and attract the attention of the passers by are the handiwork of Mr. James Heath, the proprietor of the “Daguerrian Palace” in the 3d story.  No better assurance could be given of his skill and competency.  But if it needed, a walk up stairs to his rooms will settle the question.  Mr. Heath has here as convenient and well arranged rooms as we have ever seen, admirably adapted to his business and so contrived as to give the least possible trouble to those sitting for pictures.  The walls are hung with handsome paintings and engravings, and numerous exhibitions of the Daguerrian art, among which are pictures of many of our well known citizens.  Mr. Heath’s stock of cases and frames for pictures is very large and embraces some very exquisite articles.

But a feature in Mr. Heath’s enterprise that must not be overlooked, is the fact that it is the only room on the East side of the River, and therefore is chiefly to be held in repute by the citizens thereabout.  Those wishing pictures will do well to call at No. 55 Main Street, Emporium Block, and try Heath.

1852 June 19.  Rochester Daily American.  (Rochester, New York.)  June 19, 1852, Vol 8, No. 146, P. 2.

Mr. James Heath, the artist whom we mentioned yesterday, as having opened new and elegant rooms at 55 Main St., Emporium Block, has very appropriately styled his place the “Daguerrian Palace.”  The numerous frequenters of his rooms certainly deem it such.  He has a magnificent show case on the “outer wall.”

1852 June 21.  Rochester Daily American.  (Rochester, New York.)  June 21, 1852, Vol 8, No. 147, P. 2.

Mr. J. Heath, of the Daguerrian Palace, No. 55 Main St., has executed a large and extremely vivid daguerreotype of the American Building as seen from the sidewalk near the Arcade.—We have seen nothing better of the kind.

1852 June 24.  Rochester Daily American.  (Rochester, New York.)  June 24, 1852, Vol 8, No. 150, P. 2.

We noticed hanging in the Arcade a half dozen or so local daguerreotypes by James Heath, of No. 55 Main St.  They attract a good deal of attention, and most certainly they deserve it.  Heath’s rooms are visited by a vast number of admires of the art.  He is doing a great business.  The East side of the river may well be proud of him.

Heath at his Daguerrian palace in the Emporium Block, takes pictures that possesses every quality of excellence.  His arrangements are perfect, and his rooms are fitted up in the best style—He can catch the changeful features of children before they have time to make a movement that wou’d interfere with the symmetry and accuracy of the picture.  His great run of patronage is a good guaranty of his success.

1852 December 11.  Rochester Daily American.  (Rochester, New York.)  December 11, 1852, Vol 8, No. 296, P. 2.

We have seen some rare specimens of cases &c., for daguerreotypes at Heath’s room, in the Emporium Block.  His show frame is full of the most elegant and costly settings, for the lifelike and beautiful pictures that he takes.  Heath moreover has a giant Camera, with which he can take faces as large as life.  Nothing of the kind has ever been seen in this city.  This Camera is worth a special visit.  The portraits will be well worth the money. 

1852 December 23.  Rochester Daily American.  (Rochester, New York.)  December 23, 1852, Vol 8, No. 306, P. 2.

Heath, Proprietor of the Daguerrean Palace in the Emporium Block, corner Main and North St. Paul Streets, is now taking portraits of the full size of life with his new magnificent Mammoth Camera.  Daguerreotypes of this size, are a novelty and a curiosity.  Those who pass Mr. H’s. establishment will be gratified to look at his specimens.  And now that the holidays are at hand, our readers will find many things “adapted to the season” in the “Daguerrean Palace.”

1853 February 17.  Rochester Daily American.  (Rochester, New York.)  February 17, 1853, Vol 9, No. 41, P. 2.

The attention of the passers by for a day or two has been centered in a magnificent daguerreotype, hanging in the Arcade Hall.  It is the most beautiful thing ever seen in this city.  The portrait is of a lady—a young lady of Syracuse—and is one of the noblest faces ever painted by the sun.—It is much larger than the pictures usually seen, and we were not surprised to learn that it was from the big instrument, engineered by Heath, at his suite of rooms, in the Emporium Block.  We learn that Mr. Heath is determined to offer a prize to the best subject for a daguerreotype that can be found in the State.  The subject to be a lady, and to be taken at his rooms.  It seems to us that he can find a claimant here for the prize.

It is not a single “extra fine” picture that establishes the fame of a daguerreotypist, for a thousand circumstances may concur to give excellence to a specific picture.  An examination, however, of Heath’s rooms will satisfy any one, that he has marked success in getting meritorious pictures. 

1853 February 18.  Rochester Daily American.  (Rochester, New York.)  February 18, 1853, Vol 9, No. 42, P. 2.

We briefly noticed, yesterday, that Mr. Heath had started the novel idea of offering a prize for the best subject for a daguerreotype,—the subject to be a lady, and the picture to be taken at his rooms.  He now informs us that he will take this prize picture upon his mammoth plate, with his mammoth  instrument,—the only thing of the kind in the city, and that he will give to the subject another likeness on a full size plate, and put up in the most elegant style.  Competitors, please apply immediately.  Heath has the best part of the entire 3d story of the Emporium Block, and there is no danger of missing him.

The entire third story of the Emporium Block, corner of Main and St. Paul streets, is occupied by the Daguerrian establishment of Messrs. Heath & Kelsey.  The first named gentleman came here a stranger last May, and commenced business.  His partner has been here two or three months.  Their success and progress for the year is quite remarkable.  The rooms rented by this firm are finely situated for their business.  The first is a room .  The first is a room 45 by 20 feet, whose walls are hung with pictures, engravings, and frames of beautiful daguerreotypes, the handiwork of the establishment.  This room is carpeted and well lighted, and is one of the best reception rooms of which we know.  At the right of the room is a room 75 by 20 feet, running from front to rear of the Block.  This room is about being brought into use.  The ceiling is frescoed in Glessing’s best style.  The floor will be covered with a handsome carpeting, and on the walls are to be suspended, within a few days now, the 52 portraits of the Pioneers taken by Kimball, and also a large number of other paintings.  This Pio [damaged line] in the city and the enterprise of Heath & Kelsey is much to be commended in providing for it.  At the extreme left, and opposite the Gallery room, is another large space, divided into rooms for various purposes, viz: a dressing room for ladies, about 15 feet square—a parlor, 35 by 20 feet, which is furnished with superb carpeting, with a piano, a chandelier, &c. &c.  Next is a dressing room for ladies, 16 feet square, in which is Kimball’s large painting of the “Judgement of Solomon;”  next in order is the work room, 35 by 20, supplied with all the accessories of the art—and finally the operating room, 25 by 25 feet, lighted and furnished with a full assortment of Cameras from smallest to the “mammoth.”  A second room is about being constructed, with a large skylight, to meet the claims of the business.

The great advantage of these rooms, aside from the acknowledged excellence of the pictures taken is the fact that the entire suite is on the same floor—a great convenience where ladies and children are concerned.  They are fast getting into shape to manage all the business that offers.

H. & K. sent word to Mr. Appleby who at once identified the case as having been on his table the day before, when he had missed it and the picture it contained.  He also recognized the girls as visitors the day before at his rooms.  This was promptly denied.  But the affair resulted in a visit to the Post Office and an exposure of the girls.  These Petty Larceny offenders seem not to know that detection of such thefts is often very simple.  Perhaps this paragraph may be a warning to those who make gain by robbing the show cases of Daguerrians.
