appeared in the "Daily Albany Argus" (Albany, New York; Vol. 23, No.

For the art of Daguerreotype, 480 Broadway,
3 doors north of the Mansion House, Albany. The
proprietor is happy to announce to the citizens of Al-
bany and others, that he has just completed the most
elegant and best arranged establishment for the pur-
poses of this business, that has been yet made on this
side of the Atlantic.
The Gallery is fitted and furnished in the best mod-
ern style, and in it will be found life-like Portraits of
many of our most eminent statesmen, civilians and
others, to examine which will amply repay all who
wish to call and see them. Among them will be found
perfect portraits of
Hon. Henry Clay, Col. John A. Quitman,
" John Q. Adams, Col. John C. Fremont,
" M. Van Buren, Capt. Roberts,
" Wm. H. Seward, Capt. Lee,
" Silas Wright, Lieut. Henry,
" John Young, Hon. Enos T. Throop,
" Wm. L. Marcy, " Hamilton Fish,
" G. N. Briggs, " D. D. Barnard,
and many other too numerous to mention in an ad-
vertisement.
The Operating Room has been built expressly for
this purpose, and is furnished with light enough (con-
structed on the most approved principles,) to take a
portrait in three seconds.
In fact, the Sitting, Toilet, Work and Chemical
Rooms, are all arranged in the most satisfactory man-
ner, and makes the establishment perfect.
In regard to the portraits taken at this establish-
ment, the reputation of the proprietor is too well
known to need any self puffing. As usual, the utmost
satisfaction will be given or no charge will be made.
Please call and see for yourselves. ap29dtf

Colored Daguerreotypes.
Daguerreotypes taken by an improved process,
at the NEW YORK GALLERY OF COLORED DA-
GUERREOTYPES, 54 State st., by Mr. CHURCHILL,
late of New York city. Having secured the proper
kind of light, so necessary for this delicate process,
M. C. would respectfully call the attention of the
public to an examination of his Miniatures, which at
a glance will show their superiority over any others
taken this side of the city of New York. The mode
of "Compounding the Chemicals" used by Mr. C. in
producing his beautiful pictures, as also the "Prepara-
tion of the Colors," which give so rich and life-like a
finish to them, are the result of successful experi-
ment by him, and are unknown, and of course not used
by any other artist in this part of the country. The
public can depend on obtaining Daguerreotypes of the
very first class, and which are PERFECTLY DURA-
BLE, at this establishment, put up in Lockets, Brace-
lets, Rings, Breast Pins, &c, and all the different
styles and sizes of cases and frames, at the regular
New York prices. oc15dly
