BEAUTIFUL PHOTO- ENAMEL

the most beautiful style of Photograph known, possessing a sofiness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. Chis elegant picture has become deservedly popu'ar 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 beautitul

qliaee 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, 4s 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 as to lessen their value. Our patrons can have one or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be obtained elsewhere.

We give special attention to muaking Groups of Fam lies, Societies, Schools, &c.

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

Our Y¥NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Crayon, Oil and Water Colors, have made a favorable reputation for them- selves throughout the Lower Provinces.

Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, as the Number of our customers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our silters come by appointment.

Photographs can be Obtained for less money elsewhere ; but in this case we ask that quality be given the preference; as- suring the public that they will flad our charges very moderate.
