That excellent photographer and arli-<t, Mr Ghas. Heinns, has removed to l>ol Qneen-stroet, Auckland, the studio and nreinises lately occuoied by Mr Jnsiah Martin, above Mr Edson's chemist shoi>, This is justly pronounce] th» beat photographer's establishment in the colony. Mounting the line wide stairs one finds oneself iu a noble drawing or waiting-room. This is well lighted lofty and well ventilated. It is tastefully and handsomely ornamented and furnished. Thore are many fine specimens in the ships of pictures here, not only of Mr Charles Hemus' ekill and taste as a photographer, but also of his talents as nn arti-t. Amongst the former are portraits .singly and in groups 'if some of our New /".aland notabilities amongst others of Sir Hercules and Lidy Robinson, Sir Win. Jerv.us, Bishoiis Cowie and Luck and nthor worthies, and some of our icding f i.shionahle and society folks. Amongst the pictures executed by Mr Hemus is one of a yunglady drawn in charcoal in an admirably realistic manner. .Mr Homus i.s quite in expert in various, branches of art and has had groat success in enlargements from small portraits, the enlarged picture always being life like. ' His charges for these are very moderate. Upstairs on the third floor is the studio proper. This is an excellent apartment, the best in iSew Zealand. In this room there are all the accessories of a large photographic business, such as Mr Cl.as. Homus does. It his the best inoveable back ground scenes (from Hie leading American and continental houses) we have seen in this country. Near this room are dressing-ruoms for ladies and gentlemen (the former has lady attendants) printing-room, etc. Mr C. Hemus is in a position to give the best valuo in point of artistic merit, fidelity to the subject and finish of his portraits to tho general public while his prices are very reasonable. Wβ recommend our readers when in Auckland to give him a share of their favours.
