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.
