Respeotfully calls the attention of tho people of Auckland to the fact that ho is now furnishing highly-enameled Photographs at reasonable prioes, at his studio, Queen-street, Auokland. This process was first discovered by Mr Horn, a popular photographer in Boston, Mass.. U.S.A., and has boen practised by him since 1861. Ail though this method of beautifying photographs is attended with much careful manipulation, the result is very satisfactory and pleasing as well as beneficial, inasmuch as it preserves the picture from fading and spotting by exposure to air. He guaranlees these photographs, when enamelled, to remain perfectly brilliant for fifty years, as time ond climate has no damaging eflect on them. Please call and inspect our work. "VfOIICE.—J. B.
