Mr. Dow, at the Phoenix Hotel, meets with great success in taking Daguerreotype Miniatures.  Our citizens, now that they have witnessed the astonishing accuracy of his likenesses, are flocking to his room to sit for their own Miniatures.  As he will remain in the village but a few days, those who intend to visit him must do it soon.

For A Few Days Only.  Miniatures Taken By The Daguerreotype!!  At The Phoenix Hotel.  G. H. Dow, having recently made a very important discovery in the Photographic process, by which he is enabled to produce Daguerreotype Miniatures in a style before unequalled, would respectfully announce to the Ladies and Gentlemen of Dedham, that he has taken a Room at the Phoenix Hotel, where all are invited to call who may wish for a perfect likeness of themselves; produced not by a flattering artist, but by Nature’s unerring pencil.

Miniatures will be made of any size, and fitted into Morocco cases, lockets, breastpins, &c.

No one will be expected to take a Miniature unless they give perfect satisfaction.

Advertisement ran from October 29 to November 5, 1841.

Daguerreotypes.  Our Villagers will do well to call at Temperance Hall, now occupied by Mr. Dawes, Daguerreotype Artist, and have their portraits taken.  We have examined some of his pictures and consider them first rate.—Those therefore who want a perfect likeness done in the best style, had better improve the present opportunity.

Daguerreotype Rooms.  The subscriber will spend a short time in Dedham, where he will attend to all orders in his profession with punctuality and dispatch.  His Rooms will be found at Temperance Hall, where he will take Daguerreotype Miniatures, during all hours of the day, and in all weather.

Being the Proprietor and Operator of one of the most eligible and successful Rooms in Boston, he trusts the execution of his work will sufficiently guarantee him from the charge of quackery.

Having made arrangements for being absent from Boston but a few days, he would respectfully invite Ladies and Gentlemen who wish to sit for Miniatures, and all others, to visit his Rooms as early as possible.  Howland Dawes, Daguerreotype Artist.
