Daguerreotype Miniatures.—Mr. J. M. Johnson, who occupies a room in the Patriot building,  really gets some of the finest pictures we have seen.  While the daguerreotype must be entirely a portrait, it is frequently so indistinct and illy shaded that it requires no ordinary ingenuity todiscover of whom it is a representation.  Mr. J.’s pictures are as distinct and sharply shaded as the finest prints from the best steel plate engravings.

Daguerreotype.—Mr. J. M. Johnson has returned to town, and can be found at his rooms in the north side of the Patriot building.  Mr. J. we think, obtains some of the finest pictures we have ever seen—superior in our view to those which the passer-by will notice as exhibited by the artists of Boston in Washington and Court streets.  To any of our friends, desirous of procuring a perfect copy of their “phiz,” we can cordially recommend Mr. Johnson.

Sky Light Daguerreotypes.  The subscriber respectfully announces to the inhabitants of Claremont and the neighboring towns, that he has recently fitted up Rooms with a Vertical Light, over Haskell’s Furniture Rooms, corner of Broad and Washington Streets.  It is well known that all the best Paintings and Daguerreotypes are taken by a vertical light, and he flatters himself that he can suit even the most fastidious.—As the merest tyros are not deficient in recommending their pictures, he therefore invites Gentlemen and Ladies without distinction to call and examine his specimens and judge for themselves.

Miniatures taken without regard to the weather.  J. M. Johnson.

Daguerreotyping.  We take pleasure in calling the attention of our citizens and the public generally, to the splendid specimens of sky-light Daguerreotypes exhibited by Mr. Johnson at his rooms near the upper Bridge; and without disparagement to others who may have visited the place, we may safely say that no one has produced such fine specimens of the art or received such a liberal share of patronage.  At the outset Mr. J. was at considerable expense in preparing a suitable room to enable him to take superior likenesses, and the result has proved that it was money well expended, and duly appreciated by the public.

As Mr. Johnson is soon to leave town for a number of months, all who wish to obtain superior Daguerreotypes are admonished to improve the present opportunity.
