"Ambrotypes. AS AMBROTYPES are taking the lead in the picture line in the cities, and SILVER & BURROWS not wishing that Coxsackie should be behind in the above beautiful art, are fitting up for the purpose of furnishing the picture-loving community with those new and beautiful likenesses, taken on glass, called Ambrotypes.
Unlike the Daguerreotype, they can be seen at any angle, and they are imperishable.
SILVER & BURROWS have recently purchased Daguerrean rooms in another village, and must leave soon to go there. In order to place their pictures within the reach of all before they leave, they propose taking Family Groups, Daguerreotyped, three in a case, at 37 1/2 cents a piece, making the whole group only $1.12 to 1.20. They will continue for a short time to take Daguerreotypes on small plates, including a neat case, for 50 cents.
Those having friends residing at a distance would do well to embrace the present opportunity, as the postage on the last mentioned is but nine cents to any part of the States, and the expense of sending one to Europe would be comparatively trifling. Just think of it! – for 50 cents you can purchase and send a correct likeness of yourself to a dear friend residing hundreds of miles from you.
Don't forget that their improved facilities enables them to take the likenesses of adults just as well on a cloudy day as on fair weather; for small children a clear day is preferred.
The above offer is only made to those who will call within a very few days, as their engagement to leave cannot be deferred.
All work put up in the very best manner, and warranted to never fade.
Rooms in third story, Commercial Buildings, Coxsackie Landing."
