Daguerreotypes.  We wish to say to our friends in Meriden and its vicinity, that Mr. Charles Eastman, who is now on a visit to that town, has passed some months in Claremont pursuing his profession.  He has won with us the reputation of a true gentleman and excellent artist, and we bespeak for him a kind reception and the patronage of such as may wish to obtain a lifelike and finished picture of themselves or friends.  We are confident that Mr. Eastman will give you a better Daguerreotype than you can obtain in the city, as he has the materials, taste, ad the great advantage of a clear and pure light, instead of the dusty and smokey atmosphere of the city.

Eastman’s Daguerreotypes, Ambrotypes, Photographs, Talbotypes, &c., are, to say the least, decidedly in advance of anything yet seen in the country.  He is now taking Ambrotypes of the astonishing size of 10 by 14 inches, of a startling life likeness.  The counterfeit presentment of the [sitter] seems to be bodily and spiritually with you and ready to take part in conversation.  Mr. Eastman, by long and close application has made himself master of his profession, making, himself, many of his sensitive chemicals, and without regard to expense has surrounded himself, at his rooms over the Claremont Bank, with all the appliances and facilities of a city establishment of the first order.  Indeed, there are but few city operatives who can complete with him.

We advise everybody, who can afford it, to have a Cabinet size Ambrotype.  Price from $10 to $15. According to the richness of the setting.  Youth and beauty is fleeting.  Old age and wrinkles come on apace.  Secure the prize while you may and which time will render invaluable.

New Daguerreotype Rooms.—Mr. S. C. Dustin, an experienced operator, has fitted up a spacious and elegant suit of Rooms in Richards’ Building, over the Post Office, and furnished them with every facility for taking Daguerreotypes of all sizes.  He has a superior light, and with the finest German Instruments, is enabled to bring out a picture that for strength and beauty of outline cannot be excelled.  Persons wishing Daguerreotypes should certainly call and examine his facilities,

Beautiful Pictures.—Mr. Dustin, at his rooms in Richards Building, is taking the Stereoscopic Ambrotypes so perfectly that they actually cast a shadow upon the back-ground.  They are certainly the most perfect pictures we have ever examined, and prove no less the scientific skill of the operator than the perfection of his apparatus.  It is well to take a look into Mr. Dustin’s rooms, and observe the recent strides in the art.

Ambrotypes & Photographs, S. C. Dustin Would invite the attention of the public to these new and beautiful style Pictures, specimens of which can be seen at his rooms.

The Ambrotype is taken upon the best of German White Plate Glass, and is sealed with an

Indistructible (sic.) Enamel, between two glasses, which not only beautifies the Picture, but will preserve it in its original brilliancy in any climate, for any length of time.  In effect this Picture is bold, clear, and brilliant, resembling very much a fine Mezzotint Engraving, and can be seen in any angle or light.  It is not reversed as in Daguerreotypes, but everything produced in its true position, and in so short a time that the expression first assumed is not lost.

Ambrotypes set in Lockets or Pins.

For Children this process is invaluable, the picture being taken in from 1 to 3 seconds.  Also for views of Buildings & c., as they are not reversed.

By this process old Daguerreotypes faded, or likely to fade, can be copied and size and far superior to the originals, and will last for all time.

Prices as low as for good Daguerreotypes.

—Also—Enameled Photographs, A new style of Picture, taken on canvas, which can be sent in a letter without extra expense.  Call and see them.  Rooms in Richards’ Building.

The “Great Eastern” Has Not Arrived, But Dustin & French Would respectfully inform the citizens of Keene and vicinity that they are daily making Ambrotypes and Photographs. of every size, style and price.

The Photograph, or Paper Pictures, so much resembling the steel engraving, can be finished in India Ink, or beautifully colored in Oil or Water colors, giving the true colors of nature.  This is a very desirable picture for framing, and the readiness with which an indefinite number of prints can be made from the negative without extra sittings, gives the preference over all other styles of portraiture.

The Patent Leather Picture, a style just introduced, is well adapted for mailing to an absent friend, and durable as the leather itself.

Miniatures Inserted in Lockets, Pins, Rings, &c.

Fading Daguerreotypes and Portraits accurately copied.

Likenesses of small children made best between 10 and 12 A. M., in clear weather.

Ladies and gentlemen are cordially invited to call at our Gallery In Richards’ Building, 4 Doors North Of The Cheshire House, And examine specimens.  S. C. Dustin, J. A. French.

Fine Pictures.—It is no more true that “a new broom sweeps clean,” than it is that a new firm always aims to be up with, if not a little beyond the times.  This may be verified by a visit to the Ambrotype rooms of Messrs. Dustin & French, who are now getting out some as well finished pictures, both in Photograph and Ambrotypes, as we have seen anywhere.  Both gentlemen are expert operators—Mr. French having practiced at the South for some time past—and those who patronize the establishment may be sure of having their work done in the most improved styles of the art.

The Ambrotype.

O, heavenly Art, that thus imparts

A likeness true of those we love,’

To cherish in our heart of hearts—

A treasure dear where’er we rove.

Peace to him who first unveiled

Such wonders in the Art divine,—

And Dustin, too, whose skill ne’er failed

To Photograph, since auld lang syne.

A grateful thought on him I cast,

And wish him all the joys of heaven,

Since all the scenes of happy past

By him so truly have been graven.

S. C. Dustin’s New Picture Gallery.  I have opened in Shelly & Sawyer’s Building, Rooms where I shall be pleased to receive my former patrons an the “rest of mankind.”

My success in the business so far, assures me that gooid Pictures, at fair prices, are what the people call for.

In fitting up my Rooms, I have profited by every valuable Discovery in the Art of Photographing, and introduced improvements but recently known.

The difficulty of getting the Eye perfect by the light of the common sky-light mis overcome by building a very large Ground Glass Sky-Light, so arranged as to produce a soft, mild, but powerful light, which gives the Picture a bolder outline, and develops the drapery more perfectly.  It works almost instantaneously—admirably adapted for making Pictures of Children.  They Can’t Dodge It.

I keep a variety of Cases, from the cheapest to the best.  Every style of Photograph Frame, at prices to suit the people, and support the Constitution.  S. C. Dustin.

Conflagration In Keene.  Last night this town was visited by the most disastrous conflagration which has ever occurred here.

A little before twelve o’clock the sound of fire alarm warned our citizens that the devouring element had got loose, and those who hastened out soon discovered the flames bursting from the rear portion of Richards’ block.  In the course of an hour the fire had extended to the whole block which was soon destroyed, the efforts of the firemen only succeeding to prevent the spread of the flames to the Cheshire House on the south, and the dwelling houses on the east…

The following is a list of losses and insurances, as nearly as can be ascertained upon going to press…

Dustin, the photographer, who was so unfortunate as to have his beautiful suite of rooms destroyed by the recent fire, is once more in luck, having secured a lease for a term of years of the upper story of Buckminister’s Block, just South of the Court House—one of the best locations for his business in the village.  He has had a suitable sky-light constructed in Boston, which will probably be put in the present week, and he will be ready to receive customers in his new location in a very few days.  His enterprise, and especially his skill in the photographic art, should and doubtless will secure him all the business he can wish for.

Isaac H. Dupee, Daguerrean & Ambrotypist, Z. Hyde’s building, Front St., Bath, Me.  Having bought the right of Sagadahoc County, is now prepared to take these beautiful pictures, which are admired by all who see them.  By this method it only requires one third of the time required for a Daguerreotype.  Children can be taken in one second.  Persons wishing likenesses of their children have no treason now for saying they can not get them. All they have to do is to bring them to me.  I can take them in any weather, and get them natural and good; the stormy weather is just as good as a bright day. These pictures are not reversed as a daguerreotype—are more durable, and are seen in any light, and are more natural than any other picture.  You can have pictures copied from others in this way to any size.

All are invited to call and examine specimens at my rooms, and see for themselves.  Every attention paid to persons in want of daguerreotypes or ambrotypes at my rooms.

On hand a good assortment of Cases of all kinds, Lockets, Pins, Rings, &c., sold at the lowest prices, and warranted to be as good as the best.

All work entrusted to my care will be attended to with promptness and dispatch.  No work will be allowed to go away with any blemish or spot on it.

Price reasonable.

Something New.  Ambrotypes Or Pictures On Glass.  Isaac H. Dupee, having bought the right of Sagadahoc County, for taking these beautiful and life-like pictures, is now ready to furnish the public with them at his old stand in Z. Hyde’s Building, Front-St., Bath.  These pictures should only be seen to be admired; they are taken on the best of plate glass, and secured between another glass by an indestructible gum, enabling the picture to retain its brilliancy for years. They will not corrode, or change in any climate, can be seen in any light, and are as enduring as the glass upon which they are taken.  They are not reversed, but are taken in the natural position of the sitter: they require only about one third of the time of a daguerreotype; by that a person gets a more natural picture.  The worst of weather is as good as the best.  By this method young children can be taken in one second, thus securing a picture of your little ones as perfect as themselves.  Pictures can be copied by this way from daguerreotypes, magnified to any size.

The public are invited to call and examine specimens at my rooms, where they will be shown to any person who will take the trouble to call and see them.

All work entrusted to my care will be executed with promptness and dispatch.  Copying done for rings, pins, lockets &c., and warranted.  On hand a good assortment of Cases, Frames, &c. such as are usually found in an establishment like this, which will be sold cheap for cash.  Bath, Jan 28, 1856.

The Camera Among The Icebergs.  Having just returned from a photographic trip among the Icebergs, probably a few notes of it may interest your readers, and I jot them down.

The expedition was arranged by Mr. Wm. Bradford, the artist, accompanied by Dr. I. L. Hayes.  It was my second trip to the regions of ice, so I know somewhat beforehand of the hardships that had to be endured and the difficulties to be met with.

We left Boston June 13th, and, arriving in New York, found one box of chemicals broken.  We replaced them, and left for Halifax on the 15th.  After a splendid passage we arrived there on the 17th.  I found two boxes of glass broken (about one hundred sheets).  I travelled all over Halifax to find some more glass, and the only place I could find any, was at a hardware store, and that was of a very poor quality.  I went to Mr. Chase, the photographer there, who was very accommodating, and assisted me in albumenizing my glass.  Started the next day for St. John’s, N. F., rather discouraged, but in hopes that a bad beginning would make good ending.  We arrived at St. John’s on the 21st.  Nothing of importance occurred on the trip.  We expected to find our steamer waiting there for us, and were much disappointed to find that she had gone to Sydney for coal, for we had to wait in that dead-and-alive place a week before she returned.  To pass away the time, I made some twenty-five or thirty views of very beautiful scenery thereabouts.

The steamer arrived, and we went aboard the 28th.  We set a carpenter to work building a dark-closet.  It was fifteen feet long by six feet wide, with all the modern improvements.  Our steamer (the panther), was of three hundred and fifty tons burden, and was built very strong, on purpose for the ice, and was used for seal-fishing in the spring.  The passengers and crew consisted of about thirty, the jolliest crowd that ever sailed for Greenland.

We left St. John’s on the 3d of July, and were very glad to get off.  The 4th was a very unpleasant day, foggy, and a very heavy sea running; all hands a little sea-sick; could eat but little breakfast, and did not feel like celebrating much; were not at all patriotic; the foreign water had a bad effect on us.  Had bad weather for a week.  On July 10th we made the Greenland coast, a place called Cape Desolation.  We went ashore, and found the place was rightly named, for there was not a living being on it, nothing but rocks and icebergs to be seen.  We intended to leave the next day, but it blew a gale and we had to lay there four or five days.  All hands began to get home sick   we made a few pictures in the rain.

It cleared up on the 15th, and we sailed for Julianehaab, one of the largest places in South Greenland.  The natives were all scared when we blew off steam, having never seen a steamer before.  In the morning we went ashore and called on the Governor, who entertained us with a little whisky and cigars.  In the afternoon we made some pictures of the Governor and his family, and some views of the Esquimaux huts.  The next morning, about four o’clock, we went about twenty miles in a boat (which they call oomiack), paddled by six Esquimaux girls, who were all dressed in seal-skin suits.  We took a picture of a cathedral, built nine hundred years ago by the Northmen, and did not get back until two o’clock the next morning, almost eaten up with flies and mosquitoes.  We sailed

Again for a place called Kaksimuet, about a hundred miles farther north.  In the evening we went on shore to the house of the Governor, who was a jolly old fellow with twenty-two children.  He celebrated our arrival with a dance, and entertained us in good shape.  The next day we sailed about sixty miles to the mouth of a glacier, where the icebergs break off, to take some views; worked all the forenoon; went  on board to dinner; after dinner went back again, and had quite a narrow escape.  Just as we were landing  a large berg broke off, which sent the water up twenty feet all over us, and washed away collodion, developing glass, green baize, ect., and came very near taking us along with them.  As good luck would have it, our camera and tent were up high and dry on the hill.  We had to go on board and change our clothes, and the captain did not think it was safe to stop there any longer, so we got up anchor and steamed across the fiord two and a half miles, into a snug harbor.  We had not been there more than half an hour when a large berg, two hundred feet high broke off, which sent the water up forty feet, and, if we had been in the old place, the steamer would have gone up twenty feet on the rocks.

The glacier comes moving slowly down from the mountain, a great river of ice, thousands of feet deep, sometimes tem miles wide, to the fiord or bay at the foot of the mountain.  The Alpine glaciers roll down into the warm valleys, and there, warmed by the sun, melt away like a piece of wax before a candle, and form brooks and rivers.  But in Greenland, they cannot do that. It is to cold.  Therefore, as the ice at the mouth of the glacier is pushed forward to the water’s edge, it must break off in pieces and fall in, and such pieces are icebergs.  When they break off, the glacier is said, by the natives, to “calve,” or “an iceberg is born.”

I can give you no idea of what a beautiful sight it is to see an iceberg break off, but we, who have seen it, will never forget it.  Think of a mass of ice as big as the space of ground covered by the city of Boston, falling into the sea, and of the tremendous crash that occurs when it breaks away from its fellows, and they give it a parting salute as they groan and growl their last farewell.  Now, see the waves leap up forty feet into the air, washing and lashing the glacier with spray, and sweeping everything away not strong enough to bear the shock; then watch the new-born berg as it rocks in the sea like a huge porpoise, up and down, dropping here and there portions of itself, which drive down and reappear in all directions, and you can imagine faintly what it is to see a glacier “cave an iceberg.”  It is a long time before the trouble of the waters end, or before the new-born babe ceases to be rocked, and is still enough to have its picture made.  It is a sight one never tires of.

The next day our party started to go on top of the glacier.  It was very hard to get on to the with our cooking untensils and photographic traps, it was so very steep.  We travelled six miles on the top of it.  The sight was grand from there.  It was about two miles wide, and the length of it we could not tell, as it was hundreds of miles.  The depth of it was from five hundred to eight hundred feet.  We made a few pictures, ate our dinner  up there, and then started back.  We sailed the next day for Ivigut, where the Kryolite mines are.  Kryolite, as you know, is a mineral which is now largely used in the manufacture of Hot Cast Porcelain Glass for porcelain photographs and burnt-in-pictures, and which, I am told, will soon be introduced into the market.  This is the only place in the world where the mineral is found, I believe.  It imparts a whiteness and hardness to the glass unequalled by anything else, and can be had working in sheets 60 inches square.  We visited the mines, and intended to make some pictures, but it rained for two days, so we started for Upernavik (which means “Summer-Place”), about eight hundred miles farther north, and the most northern settlement in Greenland where there are any white people.  We steamed at half speed on account of the fog, as there was danger of running into the icebergs.  We crossed the Arctic Circle, July 31st.  We sailed along for a few days, and made instantaneous pictures of icebergs.  August 3d we lowered a boat, went ashore, and shot about fifty ducks.  The 4th, the sun shone forth for twenty-four hours for the first time.  We stopped at a place called “Sanderson’s Hope,” and made a picture of a mountain 4500 feet high.  We also collected a quantity of duck eggs.  We arrived at Upernavik on the 6th, a place of about two hundred and fifty inhabitants; went to a dance in the evening in a cooper’s shop.  The principal amusement there is dancing, and the principal smell is seal, which smell I smell yet.  It was so cold your watch-chain would scorch your fingers.  The next day we sailed for Melville Bay.  We stopped at a place called Tursuesak, and took a picture of a house, which is the farthest house north in the world.  It was taken at twelve o’clock in the morning of the 10th; went on deck and could see nothing but ice.  Presently we discovered three bears; we steamed towards them through ice about two feet thick as far as we could, when they came towards us, and we shot them all.  About seven o’clock we saw three more; all hands were anxious for a shot, but I told them to let me shoot first with the camera, which I did, and got two very good negatives of them from the topgallant forecastle.  Walking on the ice presently, they came nearer, and all hands shot and killed them.  We saw two more in the afternoon, but could not get them.  We were packed in the ice all the next day, and could not get out.  The ice made about two and a half inches at night.  I made some pictures on the ice, but with poor success, owing to so much reflected light.  I could not use my bath stronger than 18 grains.  I made negatives, 14×18, with a view-tube, smallest opening, in two seconds.  The next day the wind changed and broke the ice up.  That night we moored alongside of an iceberg.  It snowed all night.  We worked all the next day making some views of icebergs, and at night, took the midnight sun, three negatives, at ten, eleven, and twelve o’clock.  The next day we got high and dry on the ice, and had to stay there two days.  We began to think we should have to winter there, for all we could see, for miles and miles, was solid ice.  This was in latitude 75°.  We wanted to get through Melville Bay, and go farther north to Smith’s Sound, but had to give it up.

August 19th, we started south.  It snowed all night and froze hard, and we began to think it was time to head home.  On our way back, we stopped at Upernavik for a week.  I made some pictures of the natives and their huts, sleds, dogs, etc.  When we went to get up anchor to leave, we found an iceberg grounded on it.  It took about four hours to get clear of it.  We sailed down the coast to Jacobshaven, where there is a very large glacier, but could not get to it, owing to there being so many icebergs in the fjord.  We could not get to within ten miles of it, even with a small boat, so I made some negatives of the icebergs there, and the next day we started for Disco, and made some views of some high cliffs, and of a whaler that was wrecked there.  That finished my photographing in Greenland.  I made between three and four hundred negatives.

September 16th, was pleasant, and we worked all day packing and securing things for sea.  All hands were in good spirits with the thoughts of going home.  Went on shore in the evening to have the last dance and to say farewell.

September 17th we left for home.  The Governor fired six cannons when we left.  We arrived in Battle Harbor, on the Labrador coast, September 23d; found some newspapers there, a thing we had not seen for three months.  We left the next day; arrived in St. John’s September 26th, and, in a fortnight from that time, we were at home, safe and well.

My great trouble, while away, was reflected light.  Everything worked flat, and I could not force the negatives up—the stronger the bath the flatter the negative.

My friend, Mr. Critcherson, of Worcester, was with me, and I suppose no one ever photographed farther north, or in colder weather than we did, but we were well repaid.  You shall see prints from our best negatives soon.  Truly yours, J. L. Dunmore,             Black’s Studio, Boston

Pictures.—J. M. Dow, Photographic and Daguerrean artist, Hopkins’ Block, is making extensive preparations to accommodate the public with pictures.  What more appropriate presents could be made to those you love, than your own pleasant physiognomy—everybody looks pleasant in a picture—during the Holidays.  Next to giving one’s self away, such a presentation would be most acceptable to most folks.  Talk about throwing yourself away, when somebody wants you done up in miniature, surrounded in a neat, little case, and Dow wants to take you for them.  Why, its all nonsense, and not to be thought of.  Go right down and get taken,.

Fire Last Night—Several Business Establishments on River And Congress Streets Destroyed—Heavy Loss.—About 12½ o’clock last night, a fire was discovered in the finishing room over the hat store of Mr. Benjamin Hatch, No. 158 River Street…No. 156…In the upper story Mr. C. C. Doty had a daguerreotype and Ambrotype Establishment.  His loss is about $800—of which $300 was in money burned.  No insurance.

Fire This Morning.—About two o’clock this morning, a fire broke out in the building on the South-East corner of Second and Albany streets, in a room occupied by C. C. Doty, Daguerrean artist.  The flames were discovered by two night-policemen, who at once sounded an alarm, and burst into the room.  The several Companies belonging to the Fire Department were on hand before the flames had made much progress; there was an abundance of water on hand, and by a judicious application of their resources, they were enabled to confine the fire to the portion of the building in which it originated.

Mr. Doty, daguerrean, loses nearly everything in his establishment.  He was insured in the Phoenix Insurance Co., for $800, which in all probability fully cover his loss.

Photographic Miniature Portraits.—Art has achieved a signal triumph in the Introduction of crystalotype likenesses.  In the hands of competent artists, Photography is destined to supersede miniature painting on ivory altogether.  The process is simple and sure.  The likeness is first daguerreotyped on glass, and then transferred to a very fine paper, prepared especially for the purpose.  They are then colored to the life.  The likenesses thus taken has all the accuracy of a daguerreotype, and all the beauty and finish of a painting.  They are much larger than the ordinary miniature, and can be furnished at about one-fourth the cost of the latter.  We noticed that our old friend, J. W. Dodge, formerly of this city, and whose skill as a miniature painter is well known here, has been for some taking likenesses upon this plan.  He is associated with Mr. Augustus Wenderoth, one of the finest artist in the Country.  We have before us a highly complimentary notice of their pictures from the St. Louis Republican.

We are pleased to learn that Messrs. Dodge & Wenderoth will be in this city early October, and will open rooms for a short stay.—With the high reputation which Mr. D. enjoys here, and the acknowledge talent of his associate, there can be no doubt that they will find a lucrative patronage ready for them.

The Fine Arts—Photographic Miniature Portraits.—We take pleasure in calling the attention of our readers to the card of Messrs. Dodge & Wenderoth in this morning’s paper.  Mr. Dodge is well known in this community as an artist who has no superior in this country in his peculiar department—miniatures on Ivory.  Hundreds of his pictures are in the possession of persons in Nashville alone—and whoever has the likeness of a valued friend from his pencil has a “thing of beauty” which will certainly be “a joy forever.”  Mr. D. has associated with him Mr. Wenderoth, an artist of the highest accomplishment, as an examination of some of his specimens will abundantly satisfy anyone.  Together they will not only furnish our citizens with those inimitable miniatures on ivory—celebrated wherever known—but what will prove, we believe, even more acceptable, are to furnish Photographic Miniature Portraits—a style of picture which is destined to a very great extent to supersede all others.  They present at once the faithfulness and accuracy of the daguerreotype, together with the beauty, finish, naturalness and ease of an oil painting—which they in reality are, more than any thing else.  The photographic process transfers to paper the form and feature with unmistakable accuracy in the minutest particulars, while the delicate touch of the artist’s pencil—a pencil already famous even without this aid—brings out in bold and striking relief a counterfeit presentment of the subject, perfect almost beyond credulity.—This photographic process enables the artist to enlarge the size of their pictures, and to prepare them with less labor, as well as more accuracy, and consequently at a reduced cost.  We advise those of our readers who are fond of the beautiful in art, after giving the card of Messrs. Dodge & Wenderoth a reading, to call and examine some of their specimens, of which they have a few.  We can guarantee to the most matter-of-fact individual that he will find something in them to excite emotions of pleasure, and that he will at once resolve to have himself or some friend “done up” in their inimitable style.

Dodge.

Photographs Of The Legislature.—Messrs. Dodge & Wenderoth, the distinguished artists, will take a Photographic view of the interior of the House of Representatives, with the members (and we presume their lady friends in the gallery,) this morning at 10 o’clock, if the day proves a favorable one.  If the day should be unfavorable, the picture will be taken on the first bright day following, at the same hour.  The interior of the Senate chamber will be taken on the day after that of the House, at the same hour, if the weather is fair.

Interior View Of The Hall.  Mr. Parks submitted a resolution which had just been put into his hands, inviting Messrs. Dodge & Wenderoth, Photographic Artists, (conformably to their application,) to take a Photographic Miniature of the House of Representatives at any time it may suit their convenience, and requesting the Door-keepers to extend to them the necessary freedom of the Hall and facilities for that object: and he moved that the rule be suspended for its consideration.

And, accordingly, the rule was suspended, and the resolution was adopted….The Speaker read to the House a communication from Dodge, the Photographic Artists, stating that he would be prepared to take his interior view of the Hall to morrow (Friday) morning at 10 o’clock, if it should be a fair day; and, if not, on the first fair day following, at the same hour….

Photographic Miniature Portraits.  The studio of our friends, Messrs. Dodge & Wenderoth, over Hicks’ China Hall, north side of the square, has become the very general resort of that large class of our citizens of both sexes so justly celebrated for their high appreciation and liberal patronage of every thing truly excellent in the fine arts.  The reputation of Nr, Dodge alone as a miniature painter on ivory, in this city, where he has been so long and so favorably known, is of itself sufficient to attract all connoisseurs.  But there are other no less important features connected with his studio.  The introduction of the new style of pictures, known as Photographic Miniature Portraits, proves a most successful card.  These pictures, when painted, possess all the beauty of the ivory miniature, and, in addition, all the accurateness of outline and feature of the daguerreotype.  Besides they have the advantage in point of size, and are less expense in proportion.  Mr. Wenderoth is himself one of the most accomplished miniature painters in the country, as the specimens of his workmanship abundantly prove.  In the art of Photographing he is entirely au fait, and with his superior apparatus can exhibit pictures equal, if not superior, to any ever taken in this or any other country.

Mr. Dodge has recently returned from a visit to his family in the mountains, and is prepared, in connection with Mr. W., to attend to all orders.  Photographic Miniature Portraits can be readily taken from Daguerreotypes or Portraits.  We recommend those who wish to see something really superior to visit the studio of Dodge & Wenderoth.
