All persons who may wish to see their PORTRAITS TRUE TO LIFE, will do well to call at his Gallery, and procure one of these new gla.s.s pictures known as
AMBROTYPES.
The perfection to which this Art is brought, has induced the Subscriber to bestow more than usual pains on this branch of Photography, and he is now without a rival in the profession.
These AMBROTYPES are sealed with a durable cement, which renders them perfectly impervious to air, and even water itself. They are therefore
IMPERISHABLE.
This fact alone will recommend them before all other pictures taken by the Sun's rays, added to which is their wonderful truthfulness, being taken without reversal as in the ordinary Daguerreotype, and capable of being viewed in any angle of light.
