"A kind of school." "It's a splendid, a beautiful idea, but you need better advice than I can give you. They talk a good deal now about vocational training, and it's going to mean a great deal to women." "Well, we must get hold of all the latest ideas, and if there's any good in us old daguerreotypes, we'll keep it, and graft it on to the kodak."
Lester gives a rapid and satisfactory summary of the principal incidents in his adventurous life. The daguerreotypes by BRADY, and the lithographs by D'AVIGNON, throughout this series, are highly creditable specimens of their respective arts. The biographical notices are carefully written and beautifully printed.
There was a long table piled up with magazines and pamphlets, and an open fireplace, the wall above the mantel covered with framed pictures of weeping- willows worked out with hair of dead relatives, and the mantel itself with faded daguerreotypes propped apart like half-opened clam-shells. Mr.
Both horizontally and vertically, I have often produced equally effective Daguerreotypes." I presume from the last sentence of Mr. Hunt, that he has confined his experiments to the smaller sized plates. Hence he may not have thought of the effect of the vertical exposure of a large plate. In America this is a subject of no little importance.
"Who is that loafer who seems to know you?" asked Mrs. Graham, directing her husband's attention toward Joel. Mr. Graham replied that "he had once seen him in Lexington, and that he took daguerreotypes." The moment dinner was over, Joel came forward, going through with one of his wonderful bows, and exclaiming, with his peculiar nasal twang, "Now you don't say this is you.

But, at this period of the day, as Hepzibah might have anticipated, the artist was at his public rooms.
I guess there wa'n't no other secret ever lay between us." The French cups with their gay sprigs of pink and blue, the best tumblers, an old flowered bowl and tea caddy, and a japanned waiter or two adorned the shelves. These, with a few daguerreotypes in a little square pile, had the closet to themselves, and I was conscious of much pleasure in seeing them.
She possessed his sword, there were several old-fashioned daguerreotypes, there was much that had been said of him, stories told of him and all this had constituted the material out of which she had builded him in her childhood fancy. "There is the possibility of one mind unconsciously suggesting to another mind," Mrs.
Such rarefied confessions were common, and this was one of many occasions when I disgraced William by snickering in the solemn pause which followed. However, these faded daguerreotypes of memory suggest but faintly any idea of the people with whom I began my life as a minister's wife. I can only show their narrowness. I am not able to give the shrill high notes of faith in their lives.
While it is true that a little color may relieve the dark metallic look of some Daguerreotypes, it must not be concealed that the covering of the fine delicate outline and exquisite gradations of tone of a good picture with such a coating, is barbarous and unartistic.
