Photographic Miniature Rooms, No. 123 Washington Street, over Lows, Ball and Company.  The subscribers beg leave to call the attention of the public to specimens of Daguerreotype Miniature Portraits executed by them.  They have recently made some highly successful experiments, by which the time required in sitting is materially lessened, while the distinctness and legibility of the portrait is increased.  The fidelity to the original which mark these miniatures, and the ease and rapidity with which they are taken, render them superior to all other portraits.

Persons desirous of making themselves acquainted with the Photographic process, may receive such instructions as will enable them to take portraits, drawings, &c. in a very brief space of time.  J. S. F. Huddleston

Advertisement ran from July 20 to August 28, 1841.

Daguerreotype Miniature Portrait Rooms, No. 123 Washington Street, over Lows, Ball & Company’s.  The subscribers having successfully complete some important experiments in taking Photographic Miniature Portraits, whereby the length of time usually employed is materially diminished—a few Seconds Only being necessary to produce a perfect transcript of the original—would respectfully invite the attention of the public to specimens executed by them.  To those unacquainted with the Daguerreotype, it is only necessary to add, that portraits taken by this process will at once be recognized as perfect likenesses.  The great objection to miniatures formerly taken by this process was their indistinctness.  Recent discoveries have completely removed this, and the Portraits now taken by the subscribers are as clear and legible as paintings in oil.

Instruction given and Apparatus furnished, (warranted to give satisfaction, or exchanged,) carefully packed, and sent to any part of the country.  J. S. F. Huddleston & Co.

Advertisement was recorded ten times between July 24 to August 28, 1841.
