Daguerreotype Gallery.  We learn that the Gallery in King street, near Fort, so long and favorably known as Mr. Stangenwald’s Gallery, and lately owned by Mr. Fr. Bindt, has been purchased by E. D. Durand, the well known Calligraphist and Draughtsman. And will shortly be re-opened; the announced departure of Mr. Howland, and the closing of his Gallery in Merchant street, making the re-opening of this the more desirable; and we bespeak beforehand the attention and good will of the public to Mr. Durand’s enterprise.  We understand the photographing will be one of the branches of the art, to which Mr. Durand will devote his attention.

O. C. Benjamin’s Photographic & Ambrotype Gallery, No. 274 Broad St.  Being determined to keep in advance of all opposition, I have added to my extensive Gallery that new and beautiful style of picture making familiarly known as Photography or Likenesses on Paper; and that I might present to my patrons the finest specimens of this art.  I have at an enormous expense secured the services of Mr. H. D. W. Moulton, an artist who having invented the process he now uses, deservedly stands at the head of his profession, and is acknowledged by all to be the best Photographer in the United States—and having challenged the honorable competition of any and all true artist, has successfully carried away every prize for which he could find a competitor.

Pictures taken by this process can be multiplied to any extent with out one sitting of the person, and like the Ambrotype are true to nature, (not reversed.)

In addition to the above I have increased my facilities for making Ambrotypes, and am better prepared by the introduction of the latest improvements to outdo all former efforts, and would here cordially extend an invite to all to call and see specimens, whether in want of pictures or not.  Pictures in the above styles can be had at this Gallery of any size from the size of life to the smallest miniature, colored (by the first artists) or plain, as may suit the taste of a discriminating public.  Please remember the number.  247 Broad st.

O. C. Benjamin’s Photographic & Ambrotype Gallery, No. 274 Broad St.  Being determined to keep in advance of all opposition, I have added to my extensive Gallery that new and beautiful style of picture making familiarly known as Photography or Likenesses on Paper; and that I might present to my patrons the finest specimens of this art.  I have at an enormous expense secured the services of Mr. H. D. W. Moulton, an artist who having invented the process he now uses, deservedly stands at the head of his profession, and is acknowledged by all to be the best Photographer in the United States—and having challenged the honorable competition of any and all true artist, has successfully carried away every prize for which he could find a competitor.

Pictures taken by this process can be had of the largest as well as the smallest sizes colored by the first artists, or plain as may suit the taste.  Also they can be multiplied to any extent with but one sitting of the person, and like the Ambrotype are true to nature, (not reversed.)  Let it be remembered that this is the only place where Life and Cabinet size pictures can be obtained; for, trusting that by supplying every want of a hitherto generous public, that a continuation of their favors may be secured, has spared no cost in fitting himself, both with large instruments and apparatus to make first class pictures for the drawing room or pocket.  Ambrotypes with all the latest improvements, put up with an indestructible gum, which renders them permanent, and which will not crack, fade or injure in any climate.  Let not the public be deceived by certain persons calling the Ambrotyped patent for it is not.  The only patent that exists in connection with this picture is the securing of the image, already made by a certain balsam, which upon any one taking an interest in the matter I will convince is the worst of substances that can be brought in contact with a picture of this character, for on exposing it to the action of the sun, it blisters and cleaves from the glass, consequently the picture is ruined.  For proof of this set any one expose a plate sealed in this way to the above test, and as seeing is believing, they will be doubly convinced.

In a word all are invited to call, whether in want of a picture or not, and rest assured that every endeavor will be made to please the most fastidious taste, both in size and quality.

N. B.—Old Daguerreotype pictures, &c., copied and enlarged to any size.

To You All.  Again I would call the attention of my numerous patrons ad the public generally to the self-evident fact that we are producing Photographs from the miniature to the cabinet size, surpassing in beauty ad delicacy of finish any even offered in America, and I challenge the artist of the Union to produce by any or all of their peculiar processes, small Photographs (their forte) equal to the double, whole and cabinet sizes which are the daily productions of that celebrated Photographer, Moulton, now an attaché of my Gallery, No. 247 Broad St.  Also, to complete my facilities in the Photographic department, I have made arrangements with the first artists in the country (whose reputation and artistic productions are not to be surpassed) to give to those wishing them these beautiful pictures with their natural color and expression, making them a perfect counterpart of nature.

My Ambrotyping and Daguerreotyping keep pace with Photography, they being as much superior in every respect to those taken by others as our exertions and facilities are greater tha theirs.

All will please to remember that a good likeness artistically finished ever pleases the eye, cost what it may, it is always satisfactory.  I do not intend to make pictures cheaper, but better and more than double the size than any other Gallery can produce in New Jersey.  For proof of the above, please call and examine the new specimens of some of our well-known citizens.  Prices reasonable, according to size, finish and quality.  N. B.—Children taken instantaneously.

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.

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.

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.

Portrait of General Houston.—A lithographic portrait of the veteran of Texas has been published by E. S. Cleveland, from a daguerreotype taken by Bartlett & Fuller, of Hartford, and transferred to stone in this city by F. Davignon.  The likeness is very striking, and the execution of the lithography extremely good. Sam had the good sense to sit without the wig he got in New York last winter, and in his own grey hair, which, though somewhat thinner than the locks he bought of the hair dresser, becomes him much better.  Colman, No. 203 Broadway, is agent for the sale of this portrait.

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.

The County Fair.  From the Daily Courant of Wednesday.  The County Fair opened at the City Hall, yesterday…

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. Moore exhibits some 50 specimens of Daguerreotypes, Ambrotypes and Photographs, many of them very beautiful specimens.  Hartford can well afford to boast of fine Daguerreotype artists.

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.
