BRADY's GALLERY We advise all the Stars
readers who at times walk Pennsylvania avenue,
to step in at Brady's Daguerreotype Gallery, in
Browns Hotel block, IL they would view an art
establishment equal to anything of the kind in
the country, In all its appointments Its propri-
etor had similar house here eighteen or twenty
years ago. and was careful to preserve fine pic
lures Of all the public men of the times who fg-
ured in connection with our national affairs. The
consequence is-for he has seduously pursued
the same policy ever since-he has. perhaps the
largest collection of striking portraits Of persons
known in our public history in the last twenty
i've years in existence. In New York his Gal
lery ranks the first among hundreds; and indeed,
his pictures We're regarded as the best exhibited
at the great exhibition of all nations that came
OF in Paris year or two ago AS works of mo-
chanical genius and artistic finish, finer Da-
guerreotypine was ever seen than the pictures of
Brady, in all the various styles in which his OBJ
eratives take them and his artistes finish them.
His present establishment here has been fitted
mp at greater cost than anv other we have seen
this side Of New York, and embraces all the va
Iious Improvements necessary in prod ucing the
first class Daguerreotypes, Photographs &c, of
the timeS.
