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 hecome soiled they can easily be cleaned, 18 they will not lose any of their beauty by being wet. This vaiuabdble quality, com- bined with their remarkable elegance, inake them very suitable for presents; while the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming so common as ro 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 making Groups of Fam lies, Societies, Schools, &c.

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

Our FNLARGEMENTS, 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 Photograpts made will find it to thelr advantage to sit early, as the number of our. cu:tomers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our sitters come by appolatment.

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.
