Daguerreotyping.—Mr. Daniel Bendann, an operator at Whitehurst’s Daguerrean Gallery in this city, has shown us some very beautiful specimens of his art, in some views, taken by himself, of the handsome residence of Mr. Stewart, on Brook Avenue.  The beautiful Mansion, embowered in a grove; the family group gathered upon the porch; the horses and carriage seen, at a little distance, in the shade of the trees, all are the very counterpart of life.  Mr. Bendann deserves great credit for this work.  He is a young artist, who has been for several years associated with the accomplished Mr. Metcalf, the principal operator in Whitehurst’s gallery.  He bids fair to be an ornament to his profession.

A Card.—The subscriber for the last three years connected with the establishment of Mr. J. H.

In an article entitled the Photographic Galleries of America.  Number Three, Richmond. The author visited 7 Galleries in Richmond.

Sic. Bendon. — Photographs seem to be this artist’s forte; he was the first to introduce them to any extent in this city. I believe he has done a brisk business, since he commenced, a few months ago, which is calculated to keep up one’s spirit, but with this artist it has had a contrary effect, for right in the midst of his business he took the Blues (a military company), and has not got entirely rid of them yet, although he has been taking golden pills from them daily. His large photographs of Gov. Wise and Wm. P. Ritchie, are fine specimens of the art. His ambrotypes are not so numerous nor so good as his paper pictures. If he would take a few lessons from some first-rate

ambrotypist, he could excel in that, as he now does, in all the other branches of the art.

Some persons seem to be laboring under the mistake, that because the better class of our community patronize Bendann’s Photographic Gallery, his prices are higher than other establishments.  He would inform the public that ladies and gentlemen will go to his Gallery, not only to Get Pictures cheaper than anywhere else, but also because they are not persuaded to take a Picture unless it pleases.

It is to be regretted that so little attention is paid by the soi dissant Artist of the present day, to the prose and expressions of their subjects.  Bendann seems to be endowed with the rare faculty of getting that ease of position and naturalness of expression, so desirable, but seldom attained, in pictures, Photographs, Ambrotypes and Daguerreotypes in their perfection, upon the most accommodating terms at Dan’l Bendann, 110 Main st., Next door above Mitchell & Tyler’s Jewelry Store.

Exclaimed a maiden, pure and fair.

Where had you that Ambrotype made?

With such graduations of light and shade?

At Bendann’s Gallery, where I am sure

And he’ll not charge you near as much

As some ignorant, pretending botch.

He’d soon make one more suited to your mind.

A good Picture consists not only in a mere likeness of a person, but it should also possess that person’s natural expression—not tortured into that unmeaning stare so observable in most Sun-Pictures.  The real artist will not brook a solitary position into which to force old and young, grave and gay, but diversified it so as to harmonise (sic.) with his subject.  To get an Ambrotype or Photograph, to reflect you naturally, we would advise you to try D.

Report Of The Hartford County Agricultural Society…

Fine Arts and Arts.  To The Hartford County Agricultural Society.  The Committee on Fine Arts and Arts, having attended to the duties of their appointment, respectfully report…

The display in daguerreotypes was large and beautiful—those from the gallery of H. H. Bartlett were far superior to any submitted.  The frame containing the large portraits of Judge John Tracy, Esq., Henry B. Beach, Esq., Dr. Taft, A. B. Redfield, Esq., and J. H. Foster, Esq., attracted great attention.  It has always been a matter of extreme difficulty to produce heads of a large size, without magnifying every blemish and defect, and exhibiting the head itself out of drawing.  In these specimens, however, Mr. Bartlett seems to have overcome those difficulties entirely, and produced likenesses at once correct in outline, and superior in texture and finish.  Mr. Bartlett’s beautiful crayon head daguerreotypes were perfect gems, and far superior to anything of the kind that have ever come under the notice of your committee.  They are entirely different from the ordinary daguerreotypes, and possess almost the delicacy and finish of a miniature.  Your committee awards Mr. Bartlett a discretionary premium on his beautiful Crayon heads as will be seen by referring to the list.  Several specimens from the gallery of S. K. Nichols were very fine.  The likenesses of Hon. James T. Pratt, R. A. Erving, Esq. and Col. Cooley were exceedingly fine pictures, fully sustaining Mr. Nichols’ reputation as an artist.

Mrs. Mary A. Parker submitted a few daguerreotypes that would do credit to any artist in the city, being surpassed but by a few on exhibition.  In ladies and children Mrs. Parker is uncommonly successful:  Likeness of Prof. Silliman and Rev. A. C. Coxe with others, by A. Washington were very good, showing a marked improvement over any previously submitted.

Fine Arts Department.  Under this head the display is in many respects superior to former exhibitions.

The display on the part of the Daguerrean Artists of our city, is very fine, and they are deserving of great praise for doing so much to make the display in the Fine Arts room, so nearly complete.  In fact their specimens of skill, are among the most attractive features of the room.  W. H. Chase has some 28 specimens.  Bartlett and Hart exhibit but one specimen, the Photograph in oil of Governor Holley.  G. W. Davis has a very large and fine collection.  He has on exhibition 50 Photographs and 12 Ambrotypes.  N. A.

Visit To Mr. Hart’s Rooms.—We yesterday called upon our Artist friend, Mr. Alfred Hart, at his rooms 237(sic.) Main street, and found him, as usual, busied in the mysteries of his profession, but withal as genial in his manners and as attentive to the calls of his friends as ever.  Mr. Hart is so well and favorably known to our citizens, that it seems scarcely necessary to speak in commendation of him.  His portraits and landscapes are much admired.  But there is a branch of his profession, less pretentious perhaps though we think really of more importance to the people, to which we wish especially to refer.  We allude to the beautiful and life-like Colored Photographs of Bartlett, Hart & Co., the finishing touches to which are imparted by Mr. Hart, and which possess all the excellence of a portrait, are indeed far mor accurate and truthful, and may be procured at a much less price.  The desirableness of these pictures can scarcely be over estimated.  Any one possessing a daguerreotype of a deceased friend may readily, and at a small price, have substituted for it a good-sized picture, which shall be a fac-simile in expression, while the delicate process of coloring seems virtually to restore the living subject.  A fine collection of these photographs may at all times be seen at the rooms of the above firm.

A few things to be remembered by those wishing to have a Good Life-like Likenesses!  One that will never fade.  It is conceded by those acquainted with Mr. B.’s Daguerreotyping, that he is at the head of the profession in this region, having stood the test of competition of other operators for the last 4 years in the village of Ithaca, 15 having left for business in other places, and in the same time has taken from 6000 to 7000 Miniatures.

Such a practice is of itself a sufficient guarantee to a discriminating public, that his Rooms is the place to get good Likenesses.  But there are other reasons than those above:

1st—He galvanizes or re-silvers every plate on which the likeness in=s taken, before using it.

2d—The preparing of the same is done by machinery, producing a finer and making a finer miniature—incomparably better than the ordinary way.  Mr. B. is a member of the American Daguerrean Association, and is in possession of the New and Recent Improvements in that Association.  In addition to what we call the Daguerreotype proper, there are other processes that Mr. B. is prepared to execute, viz:  Gurney’s new process of coloring likenesses.  They are fine.  The Crystalotype—this is a beautiful style of Daguerreotype.  The Crayon, the Cameotype, and the enameled Back grounds and circles of a variety of colors, &c. and fancy and tasty acquisitions to the Art, and is very much admired.  He has one full sized Instrument, acromatic Lens, in goodness not surpassed—1½ size quick working Instrument for taking likenesses of babies, children & nervous people in from 2 to 5 seconds, the only one in this county—1 copying Instrument that copies all sized pictures perfectly—1 1-9 instrument expressly for taking Locket Pictures, a new thing—1 full size Sceptrum for taking views of Buildings and Landscapes at any distance within 2 miles, without reversing the object in the Picture taken.  Mr. B. respectfully informs Daguerrean Artist that he keeps on hand and for sale wholesale and Retail a complete assortment of Daguerreotype Goods, bought exclusively for cash, at the lowest New York Prices, and from a knowledge of the wants of the Artist, he is confident he can give good satisfaction in quality and price to all who may purchase of him.  All goods are warranted as represented, and advice on the practical part of Daguerreotyping, cheerfully given.

Likenesses of the Sick or Dead taken at their residences.  Remember the great Sky and Side light rooms No. 96 Owego street, Ithaca, where they take likenesses rain or shine, as low if not lower than at any other place.

Daguerreotype Art—Improved.  Perfect Likenesses Of Children Or Adults, By C. Barnes & Brother.  We would say to our friends of Macon and surrounding country, that we have neatly furnished a room in the Eagle Hotel (up stairs) for the purpose giving those wishing perfect likenesses of themselves or friends an opportunity of obtaining them.  The new improvement will enable us to take perfect likenesses of Children of any age.  Gentlemen are respectfully invited to call and examine specimens.

Daguerreotyping.—Our Daguerreotype artists have been making improvements for an extensive business the coming winter.

The art, we believe, was first introduced into Mobile by Mr. Barnes, who attained great distinction in it.  Indeed, we believe, it may be said that his success has been so great that he has accumulated a fortune.

He was followed by numerous other persons, but the only establishments besides his are those of the Messrs. Stanton and Mr. Marks.  The former have their rooms on the south side of Dauphin way, entering by the same steps which lead to the printing office of the Tribune.  They have erected a large glass front, which will enable them to obtain an excellent light for their operations.

Mr. Marks, at the southeast corner of Dauphin and Royal streets, has been here about a year.  He comes from Baltimore with the prestige of success and one or two medals from the great fairs.  He has also changed the externals of the building he occupies and has made a large skylight which is very complete.  His rooms are elegantly fitted up, and the numerous pictures which decorate his walls are a sufficient proof of his great skill in the art.  He has a series of very striking Daguerreotype views of San Francisco, taken by himself, and exhibiting that place by sections which, joined together, make a complete picture of the entire city, in which the minutest detail of every house tree, and street, and shipping, &c., is given with surprising clearness.  The name on some of the signs can be easily read by the naked eye. 

We are satisfied that there are o more exquisitely executed pictures any where than those which our Daguerreotypists are ready to take; and we commend them to our country friends who, doubtless, this winter will liberally patronize this very beautiful art.  Let them visit the galleries of our artists and see how difficult it is to resist the desire to have their pictures taken.

Photographs.  Life Size, On Canvas.  I would most respectfully state to the citizens of Mobile that I am now fully prepared and am taking Life Size Photographs, beautifully colored in Oil, the patent of which I am the sole Proprietor for the city of Mobile.

I have enlarged my establishment: by adding a new suite of Rooms, next East of my Daguerrean Gallery, neatly fitted up with an Improved Skylight, expressly for Photographic purposes.

During the last summer I have made myself fully acquainted with all improvements pertaining to the art, and carefully selected with great expense, Cameras, Pantescopes, etc., etc., of the best quality, together with a good assortment of Frames of the neatest style.

I would also state that I have been successful in procuring the services of the best Artists in the country, which enables me to guarantee my Pictures permanent, and as beautiful in Finish as the Art is susceptible of, colored in Water, Oil or Pastel.

Persons having old Daguerreotypes or Ambrotypes of departed friends, can have them copied.  Life, Cabinet, or Miniature Size, colored in all the freshness and vigor of animated nature.

I have fixed my terms, corresponding with New York prices, so as to enable all to ornament their parlors with family portraits, which have become so popular at the North.  Please call and examine specimens.  Rooms Nos. 46 and 48 Dauphin Street, Mobile.  Jan. 1858.          C. Barnes.

We thank Mr. C.
