“Who can Paint like Nature?”  Mr. Emerson Goddard, daguerrean artist, of this town, has produced specimens of his craft which are creditable in the highest degree.  Among his recent portraits, of life size, is one of the late Robert Foss, of Mansfield, Connecticut, one of which may be seen in the Patriot Bookstore.  It is finished in crayon, and is not only beautiful as a work of art, but is a natural and faithful representation of the subject.  The art of painting life-like portraits by the eye and brush is one of the most difficult in the whole realm of art, and few have excelled therein.  It was not until Louis Jacques Maude Daguerre, the eminent French painter, discovered and improved the photographic process, in 1838-1839, that truthful “counterfeit presentments” of the human face became common and accessible to all.  Daguerre died July 12, 1851.  His name and fame must forever remain indissolubly connected with the wonderful art.

People who desire to see a faithful picture by a creditable imitator of M. Daguerre, should examine this portrait of Mr. Foss, which will remain in the Patriot Bookstore for a brief time.
