On this day (January 4) in the year 1856, the following two items appeared in "The New York Herald" (whole No. 7067): - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - under "LOST AND FOUND": LOST--ON NEW YEAR'S DAY, A WATCH KEY, CON- taining two daguerreotypes. The finder will be suitably rewarded by leaving it at No. 8 Jauncey court, Wall street, or 11 Clinton place. and an advertisement: Fresh Budgets.--25 Cent Daguerreotypes-- opening daily, with the compliments of a happy new year, at the old established picture shop, enlarged and improved at 289 Broadway. Step in and see how you look for a quarter. (This address seemed to be a "revolving door" for a number of "picture factory" operators. At this time (1856) I believe the tenant was Reese & Co. --G. W. E.) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 01-04-96
