An Exhibition of Photographic Pictures

CALOTYPE PORTRAITS

(By Licence of the Patentee.)

Mr. Philip Delamotte begs to announce that he has concluded an arrangement with the Patentee, Mr. H. F. Talbot, which enables him to take Portraits by the newly-discovered Collodion Process. The advantages which this process offers are,—Excellence of Likeness, great Convenience, and the opportunity of Multiplying copies of the same Portrait to any extent. These Portraits have the appearance of beautiful mezzotint engravings, with the superior accuracy which Sun-painting must insure. One moment suffices to obtain the likeness, and no constrained position is required. Hence a happy expression of face is instantly caught, and young children may be taken without difficulty. To those who wish for several copies of the same Portrait, the Calotype offers every facility, as an unlimited number of impressions may be printed, by the agency of the sun, from the glass plate. These will all be exactly equal to the first, and may be had at a moderate cost.

TO ARTISTS AND SCULPTORS

MR. DELAMOTTE will be happy to photograph Artist' Paintings and Statues, and supply two or more impressions as may be desired. He also undertakes to photograph, under the superintendence of the Artist, the Life Model, Costume, or any required object, and to deliver the negative plate.

TO ENGINEERS AND ARCHITECTS

MR. DELAMOTTE is ready to enter into engagements to photograph Buildings and Engineering Works of all kinds, either in progress or when completed. In illustration of the advantages to be derived by Engineers from Photography, MR. DELAMOTTE begs to refer to Mr. Fenton's Views of Mr. Vignolles' Bridge across the Dnieper at Kieff, and to his own views of the Progress of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham.

TO THE NOBILITY AND GENTRY

MR. DELAMOTTE has made arrangements which enable him to take photographic views of Country Mansions, Ancient Castles and Ruins, Villas, Cottages, Bridges or Picturesque Scenery of any description, and to supply as many copies as may be desired.

TO THE CLERGY

MR. DELAMOTTE will be happy to receive commissions to take photographic views of Churches—either Exterior or Interiors—Rectories or School-houses. He will also be willing to make special arrangements for Portraits of Clergymen, when several copies of the same portrait are required.

TO AMATEURS AND STUDENTS

MR. DELAMOTTE gives lessons in every branch of the Photographic Art, but more especially in the Collodion Process, which he undertakes to teach, together with the best method of Printing, in Six Lessons.

For Terms apply to MR. PHILIP DELAMOTTE, Photographic Institution, 168. New Bond Street
