THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTProbably in no branch of the arts have more improvements been made during recent years than in that of photography, and the activity with which the inventions have been taken up by the profession is a convincing proof of the spirit of enterprise of our artists. A leading house engaged in this line ia that of Mr. C. D. Fredricks, No. 770 Broadway, who has had experience in this art since 1842, and in 1853 introduced photography into this country on a grand scale, and brought from Paris under contract the celebrated artists, Mayer, Remet, Piot. Wust, Santain and a number of others. He occupied for twenty years the large buildings Nos. 585 and 587 Broadway, which, having been destroyed by fire, his present gallery has been fitted up with every convenience and facility. Photography in all its branches is here executed, pictures being taken by the new instantaneous process, and thus patrons are enabled to obtain new ac- curate and perfect portraits of themselves and children, especially the babies. His new style of panel and boudoir pictures is unsurpassed, and the new glacé finish in troduced by him has become very popular. Portraits are made in oil, water colors, pastel, crayon and India ink, executed in the highest style of art, from locket to life size, from original pictures or from life, at very moderate prices, satisfaction being guaranteed in all cases. Every one needs a good photographer; this is a matter that needs attending to in life, because it is a sacred duty to obtain a good likeness of our loved ones. Mr. Fredricks is held in the highest estimation in social circles for his strict integrity and unswerving honor, and being a first-class artist we cheerfully commend his establishment to the public, as being one in every way worthy of honor and patronage.
