Daguerreotypes! The Largest Rooms in the City!! Two Lights, Two Operating Rooms. J. Q. Currier, Invites the attention of citizens and strangers to his extensive Daguerrean Establishment, at No. 88 Merrimack street, the largest and best arranged of any in the city. Two distinct and spacious Operating Rooms, together with skilful and practiced operators enable him to furnish his patrons with Pictures in the highest style of art with the latest possible delay.
His large skylight, added the past season, containing 240 square feet of glass, is admirably adapted to the taking of Large Pictures and Groups, and in this branch the proprietor will Challenge Competition! A share of attention will be devoted to the much admired Crayon Daguerreotypes.
These Pictures have the appearance and effect of very fine Crayon Drawings, and will not fail to merit the approbation of a refined taste.
Colored Daguerreotypes! A new process of coloring Daguerreotypes has just been introduced, and is used by the subscriber with great success. A perfectly life like appearance is given to the countenance and expression by this process, unattainable by any other.
Great pains will be taken in the execution of Children’s Portraits! Pictures Enlarged And Copied.
Mr. Currier is assisted in his business by Mr. M. H. Lufkin, an Artist of taste and experience, and, between the two, he is confident he will be able to merit a large and continued share of the patronage of his friends and the public generally.
Specimen Pictures May be seen at his rooms, which for [beauty] and delicacy he is willing to have compared with the most favorable specimens of the art.
All, then, therefore, in search of a good Daguerreotype, are invited to call at Currier’s Daguerreotype Rooms, Concert Hall Building, No. 82 Merrimack street, Lowell.
