 THE DAGUERREOTYPE: AN ARCHIVE OF SOURCE TEXTS, GRAPHICS, AND EPHEMERA


  The research archive of Gary W. Ewer regarding the history of the daguerreotype

On this day (November 19) in the year 1851, the following advertisement appeared in the "Voice of the Fugitive" (Sandwich [today Windsor], Canada West [today Ontario]) Vol. 1, No. 24: - - - - - - - - - p. 3 advertisement: DAGUERREOTYPES D. Everlyn Hall, Daguerrean Artist, would inform the citizens of Detroit that he has opened rooms in Fireman's Hall Jefferson Avenue, where he is prepared to take Miniatures, single or in groups, for Rings, Pins, Lockets, Bracelets &c., with or without Colors, in the highest style of the Photographic Art, for all who may favor him with their patronage. Pictures taken in all kinds of weather and warranted proof against all time. All are solicited to call, Detroit, Nov. 10, 1851. With thanks to Dennis Gannon who adds this comment: I suspect that this same ad appeared at the same time in Detroit newspapers -- Detroit is just across the Detroit river (and an international border) from Sandwich/Windsor, Ontario, Canada. -------------------------------------------------------------- 11-19-98
