"A Card. O. B. Evans' most grateful acknowledgments are due to the people of Franklin and vicinity, for the very liberal patronage which he has received in the last four weeks, and would also solicit a call from the people of Delhi and adjacent towns, who may wish Miniatures of themselves and friends, taken in all weather, from the size of a sixpence to the largest Miniature size, enveloped in frames, cases, lockets, finger rings and bracelets, as the purchaser desires.
Mr. E. has also lease for executing pictures larger and entirely superior to any ever before offered to this community. Persons with light eyes and hair, can have pictures with equal perspicuity as those of dark.
The most experienced and artistal skill be given to positions and equalizing the light and shade on the face, so as to retain every minutia and life like expression and entirely obviate the cadaverous and mechanical appearance which is so universally common to Daguerreotypes taken by young, inexperienced and inefficient Daguerrians.
The subscriber is one of the oldest operators now in America, together with testimonials from distinguished individuals to substantiate all the above assertions; also a large Gallery of Pictures with different positions, complexions, dress & c., so that persons from analogy, can choose a position satisfactory to the most fastidious observer.
Rooms at Mr. E. S. Edgerton's residence."
