Pictures.  T. V. M. Doughty, who has taken the rooms occupied by Landon in the building adjoining our office, is sustaining the former high reputation of the Gallery for pictures not to be surpassed, and not often equalled (sic.).  Daguerreotypes have for the most part given place to the more modern and more valuable Ambrotypes; but Mr. Doughty is equally at home in all styles and improvements of the art.  Those still preferring a photograph he can gratify, and while we felicitate ourself upon the possession of a gentlemanly and clever neighbor, our gratulations extend to our community in its possession of an excellent resident artist.  Winstead Herald.

The above is true, even if the Winsted Herald does say it.  Mr. Doughty is one of the best artists in the State.  Wonder if friend Clark didn’t [notice.]
