_The New York Herald_ Monday, March 06, 1843; p 3 Col 4.
"Caution -- The vast superiority of the Patent Colored Photographs,
having thrown the old kind entirely into the shade, several of the
Photographers in New York are attempting to impose upon the public by
advertising their productions as "patent," whereas the only patent ever
granted by the United States for an improvement in Daguerrotype
Portraits, is "Plumbe's," -- dated October 22, 1842 -- and the only
place in New York where the patent one can be obtained, is the above
establishment."
