CROMBIE'S ROYAL PHOTOGRAPHIC GALLERY, "TXTILL absolutely close one week preYY vious to the sailing of the first vessel for Nelson. In taking my leave of Canterbury, I beg to acknowledge the very liberal patronage I have received from all the unofficial sections of the community. I am well aware there are several parties who feel dissatisfied at the Photographic results of themselves or friends. A moment's ..thought might convince them that it is not the proviuce'jj of Photography to create ; it only professes to give a perfect reflection of an object. It must, however, be some satisfaction to them that, whatever time or material may have been wasted on their account, they still retain their money. As the Local Oracle seems either unable or unwilling to give an opinion (perhaps the fear of treading on what " we may call Native" toes, has something to do with its indecision), I beg. to submit the following NOTICES OF THE METROPOLITAN AND PEOVINCIAL PEESS. Photogeaphy.—lt will be seen from the list of passengers per Zingari for the South, that Mr. J. N. Crombie, the photographic artist, who has been resident in Auckland for a period of fifteen months, commences a professional tour through the southern provinces of the colony. During Mr. Crombie's stay in Auckland, he has taken the portraits of just 1,088 persons, of every class in society; and, as an artist, has been more than ordinarily successful. His pictures have a roundness and boldness of character, which are frequently found wanting in portraits by the} daguerreotype process. We feel satisfied that many of the Southern colonists will avail themselves of Mr. Crombie's talent in his profession, and we wish him the same measure of success in the other towns of New Zealand that has attended his sojourn in Auckland. We are happy to learn that the Governor has very courteously acceded to a request made by Mr. Crombie for permission to assume the designation of photographer' to his Excellency.— Southern Cross. Mb. Cbombik's Depaetuee for the South. —Our readers will perceive by an advertisement in another column, that Mr. Crombie, who has for so man}' months been practising in our city as a photographic artist, and who has been so successful in his " counterfeit presentments," will take his departure for the Southern Provinces, by the Zingari, on Saturday next. — New Zealander.' Daguereeotype'Portraituee.—We would recommend such of our readers as have not already paid a visit to Mr. Crombie's portrait gallery to do so without loss of time, as that gentleman's stay in Nelson is likely, we understand, to be veiy short. The likenesses taken by Mr. Crombie are decidely the best we have seen in this colony.— Nelson J?xaminer,ls6v. 29th, 1856. Photogeaphy.—lt will be observed by outadvertising columns that this is the last day of Mr. Crombie's present stay in Nelson. During his residence here he has taken, we are informed, no less than 450 portraits of persons in every section of the community. We have already referred to the very high character of his productions ; indeed the large patronage he has received is a sufficient guarantee of their excellence. — Nelson Examiner, April Ist. We feel somewhat open to blame for not hay- ' ing noticed earlier the presence amongst us of so skilful an artist as Mr. Crombie; but as he is announcing that his departure is at hand, we feel it our duty now to do so, that those who may be desirous of availing themselves of his talents may not miss the opportunity. Proofs of Mr. Crombie's skill have been so freely exhibited that it is unnecessary to say anything in praise of it. The likenesses are, as a matter of course, most exact, and the style in which they are turned out" of hand renders them not only delightful remembrances of those whose lineaments we like to contemplate, but also elegant ornaments of the drawing room. We' have nothing in the way of portraiture at once*, so faithful and so pleasing as the likenesses j taken by Mr. Crombie. — Canterbury Standard, July 9th, 1857. J. N. CROMBIE. Lyttelton, Sept. 15,1857.
