Abstract: A new advertisement in the Solano County Herald in 1857 was for Charles P. Goff, a Vacaville attorney and counselor at law, and solicitor in Chancery. Another new ad announced that photographers McKown and Bishop were now producing melanotype-positive pictures on glass and iron. Tinted in colors, these portraits or miniatures produced an artistic effect. They also resisted corroding influences and, it was supposed, would last for ages.
