R. H. Kimball, having purchased and taken charge of the Photographic Establishment heretofore owned by R. A. Houston & Co., and in addition to his own experience and application, secured the services of Mr. Nichols, the distinguished Photographist from New York, and also Mr. Thomas J. Dane who has no superior as an Artist, asks the especial attention of the public to the pictures he is daily presenting.

The new and splendid Life-Size Photographs produced by Mr. N. through the Solar Camera process, are a marvel of art and beauty; and we claim the exclusive credit of introducing this surpassingly beautiful process, and in the hands of a perfect master in the art.

It must be conceded  that this new Pictorial Revelation throws all the previous pretensions in Photography, excellent as they have been, quite into the shade, and promises a revolution in the art.—Its capacities are wonderful in every direction.  Especially to those who have pictures of deceased or absent friends which they desire to enlarge and perpetuate, the Solar process furnishes a means hitherto unavailable.  Even if your pictures are considerably imperfect, we have the means of restoring them to high order and beauty.

We shall be assisted by Mr. W. H. Kimball, a practical artist and well known Photographer, who by India Ink touching will restore imperfect pictures, and when desirable will color to nature.

Having spared no pains or expense in availing ourself of every means, and fitted our establishment to meet every demand, we confidently claim the public favor, and pledge our best endeavors in their behalf.

N. B.  Every picture leaving our establishment warranted to be perfectly durable, and to give Satisfaction in all cases.

24 Photographs For One Dollar!  (By the New Multiplying Camera.)  May Be Had At Kimball’s Photographic Art Gallery Being determined to meet every demand of the public, we have sounded every note in the Photographic scale, and are prepared to meet our friends and patrons at any point from high to low, and from large to small, on terms so unprecedentedly low for good, faithful work, that we confidently urge especial attention to our new arrangements and new proposals.

The disgusting and trashy cheap Ambrotypes may now be discarded, and their place supplied with Photographs at a mere fraction of their cost, neat, durable, and in every way more convenient; appropriate as a contribution to a friend’s scrapbook, to send by mail, &c. &c.

Also, Photographic Visiting Cards, a new and beautiful thing just now the rage in all polite circles.

We ask the particular attention of Collegiate, Academic and other classes in want of large quantities of Photographs, feeling sure we can meet any reasonable demand, both as regards price and quality.

Commanding the services of one of the most accomplished Photographist in this country, we invite especial attention to our work in the line of Life, Cabinet, and common size Photographs.  In this interesting sphere of the art we allow no one either in city or country to distance us.  Also, with a skillful operator especially devoted to Ambrotyping we propose to furnish Ambrotypes, and other collodian pictures as heretofore.  Also, copies of and picture made and enlarged to any size desired.
