VLAUDET'S PHOTOGRAPHIC, On DA -
GUERREOTYPE PORTRAI FS, are taken daily at.
the ADELAIDE GALLERY, LOWTHER ARCADE, by
his New Patented Improved Process. The acknowledged su-
periority of Mr. CLAUDET'S PORTRAITS is due to the
surprising RAPIDITY of the PROCESS, which gives to
the Likeness the pleasing and unconstrained expression which
the Sitter can only assume during an INSTANTANEOUS
OPERATION—TO THE INTRODUCTION of BACK
GROUNDS (EXCLUSIVELY HIS OWN), representing
Landscapes, Interior of apartments, &c., which produces the
most PICTURESQUE EFFECT—and to the mode of durably
fixing the image, so that it cannot fade or change colour, or
be easily rubbed off.
Mr. CLAUDET has also a peculiar process by which Na-
tural Colours are imparted.
