It is located on the second floor of the building No. 661 Broad Street, is 25x100 feet in dimensions, conveniently divided into the several necessaiy departments, finely finished and furnished throughout, and is equipped with the most approved appliances known to the business, ample scenery, etc. Photography in all its branches is here done, and the best and finest class of work is produced. Pictures are also taken by the new instantaneous process, and thus patrons are enabled to get accurate and perfect photographs of themselves and their children, especially the babies. Mr. Kirk has now 40,000 negatives, dating back twelve years, which he has preserved, and from which duplicates can be had. Mr. Kirk is a native Jerseyman, a practical and expert photographic artist, and during the many years that he has been prominently before the public of Newark in a business capacity he has made thousands of pictures, giving entire satisfaction and earning an enviable reputation for the superior character of his work and his straightforward, honorable dealing. The " Cielatine dry plate" is the great improvement of the age, and Mr. Kirk is posted in its every detail. The clearness of amber and a life-like expression mark his pictures, and it is this semitransparent effect which has made for them their world-wide reputation, placing Mr. Kirk at the head of the photographic profession.
