IS NOW OPL

The Corporation of Liverpool having granted the site of
the late OBSERVATORY, Sr. JAMES'S WALK, a neat and
elegant Building has been erected thereon, in which the
PHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS, the discovery of which
is ranked among the greatest scientific achievements of the
present age, is now in DAILY OPERATION.

- THE PRICE FOR EACH PORTRAIT, INCLUDING
A FRAME, IS ONE GUINEA.

JOHN RELPH, Manager.
Specimens may be seen, and Orders rece;ved, at Mr. LA-
CEY S REPOSITORY OF ARTS, 100, Bold-sheet.
The Invention was recently introduced into England, at
the ROYAL POLYTECTINIC INSTITUTION, LONDON; and
the following are a few extracts from the leading Journals
relating to its merits :
(From the Morning Chronicle.)
_ .

When we formerly described this process, the time requi-
site for taking a portrait was, generally speaking, about four
minutes ; but in consequence of the great improvements at
have been made, the time has been reduced to about five le-
conds on a clear day ; but during cloudy dull weather the
operation may require from a minute and a half to two mi-
nutes.

The portraits taken by this means are really extraordinary
as likenesses ; they are true to nature, for nature here is her
own delineator. The features are admirably marked out and
delineated, and the likenesses at first sight are so extraordi-
nary, that they are really startling.
(From the Morning Advertiser.)
PHOTOGRAPHIC LIKENESSES.—One of the most inter-
esting sights it is possible to conceive is now attracting
crowds daily to the Polytechnic Institution, Regpt.street.
The patentee has christened it the "photographic mode of
taking likenesses." By this process, in the incredibly short
space of five seconds, the likeness of any .
individual is taken
down on a piece of metal, and the portrait a perfect fac-
simile of the sitter. It is nature herself that is called in to
be the artist, and her performance is truly astonishing,
leaving immeasurably behind it everything that human skill
could effect.
