Porter & HOag's Art Gallery, Fourth
STREET, OPPOSITE THE PosT-oFF1cE.-This gal
lcry and repertory of Photographic art is &C.
knowledged by all who have had an opportun
ity of comparing it with other establishments,
to be the most extensive and complete in the |
Western country.
The PERCEPTION room" is unquestionably a
splendid apartment. 1t is large and hand
some room, on the second floor, with walls most
exauisitey frescoed, and adorned with very
large collection Of elegantly portraits
of the most distinguished personages of this
country, male and female.
This department of the institution is under
the superintendence of Mrs. Hogan amiable
and intelligent lady, who will be happy to con-
tribute all within her power to the pleasure of
her visitors.
The Melainotype department is under the
immediate supervision Of Mr.. Hoag, who was,
we believe, the first to introduce this branch
of the Photographic art into this city. Mr..
Hoag's Melainotypes are acknowledged to be
the best of the kind produced anywhere.
The third story of the building is divided
into thirteen departments, for the execution Of
the several branches of this beautiful and
highly appreciated art.
We have no space at our disposal, or we
should refer to the various operations carried
on in this institute in detail but we must say
that the artists employed are the best the coun-
try can produce, and the work here executed
| is sure, always, to give the most complete sat
isfaction. We recommend our readers to pay
Messrs. Porter & Hoag's Art Palace n visit.
At future time, we shall give a more ex-
tended notice.
