Respectfully calls the attention of the people of Auckland to the fact that he is now furnishing highly-enameled Photographs at reasonable prices, at his studio. Queen-street, Auckland. This process was first discovered by Mr Hem, a popular photographer in Boston, Mass., U.S.A., and has been practised by him since 1861. Ail though this method of beautifying photographs is attended with much csreful manipulation, the result is very satisfactory and pleasing as well as beneficial, inasmuch as it preserves the picture from fadinor and spotting by exposure to air. He guarantees these photographs, when enamelled, to remain perfectly bsilliant for fifty years, as time ahd climate has no damaging effect on them. Please call and inspect our work. (MAHURANGI.
