BEAUTIFUL PHOTO- ENAME L

the most beautiful style of Photograph known, possessing a softness and delic of coloring that has never been equailed. This elegant picture has become deservedly popular elsewhere, and cannot fail to be- come so here.

Though the finish of our Photographs cannot be excelled, we would direct atten- tion to the beautiful

Glace Pictures

which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, and will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time. If they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, as they will not lose any of their beauty by . being wet, This valuable quality, com- bined with their remarkable elegance, make them very suitable for presents; while the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming so common &3 to lessen their value. Our patrons cau have one or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be obtained elsewhere.

We give special attention to muking Groups of Families, Societies, Schools, &.

Our pictures of children are sufficient evidence of our success in this dificult branch of our art.
