The public will no doubt recognise the vast importance of having their wants attended to by the heads of the firm, and as Messrs. Connolly and Herrmann personally undertake the operating and retouching departments of their business the public can rely on receiving the very best workmanship at lowest prices.
Mr. Herrmann, who is acknowledged by the profession to be unequalled in the colony as a first-class operator and re-toucher, holds several First Prize Medals won at various American Exhibitions. He also possesses a thorough knowledge of photographic chemistry (rarely acquired by the every-day photographer), and as the whole foundation of the photographic art is based on chemical processes, the public will no doubt recognise the importance of such knowledge.
With the addition of Mr. Herrmann to the staff, the firm are enabled to bring high-class photography within the reach of all. They guarantee that whilst the likeness will be strictly preserved, their productions will be unsurpassed for artistic lighting and posing, delicacy of half-tones, and excellence of finish.
Cabinets, beautifully finished, from 20/- doz. large work at very low prices.

The firm of Connolly and Co., the well-known photographers, of Lambton-quay, has been strengthened by the addition of a new partner in the person of Mr. R. Hermann, and henceforward the style of the partnership will be "Connolly and Hermann." Mr. Hermann possesses a high reputation for skill in his profession, and his handiwork displays excellent taste in arrangement of the "subject" and in finish. The new firm will doubtless meet with the measure of success which it deserves.

Messrs Connolly and Herrman [sic], the photographers, of Lambton-quay, are exhibiting one of the most interesting photographs seen in this city. It is a copy of the “missing link" “Krao,” who created such astonishment when exhibited a couple of years ago at the Royal Aquarium, in London, “Krao” is a female about seven years of age, with a pleasing, human-looking face and large dark lustrous eyes. Her body is covered with fine hair. Her lower limbs are decidedly of the monkey tribe. She was caught with her parents in 1882 in Laos, in Central Asia, and was taken to London by the well-known traveller Carl Bock. This queer specimen of mortality is the most human-like monkey or the most monkey like human ever seen, and the picture now exhibited is well worth a visit, not only to the curious, but all who take an interest in the origin of species.
Unsavory Subjects. Richard Hermann, photographer, was charged with a breach of the city by-laws, he having failed to provide sufficient conveniences for the females in his employ. Mr Skerrett, who appeared for the defence, admitted the offence, but intimated that his client was about to make the necessary provision. His Worship imposed a fine of 5s with 7s costs, remarking that the maximum penalty in these cases was £50, a fact that was perhaps not generally known...

The firm of Messrs. Connolly, Beauchamp, and Price, photographers, Lambton-quay, have made arrangements with Mr. Hermann, a late member of the firm, by which his services as operator and retoucher will be retained, and consequently their patrons will reap the benefit of having the choice of two operators, viz., Mr. Beachanmp and Mr. Hermann.
A number of alterations and improvements have been effected in the establishment, which no doubt will be appreciated by customers. The reception and dressing rooms have been re-furnished, and for the operating gallery new back grounds, paraphernalia, and "properties" of the latest and most novel designs have been imported from Paris and Berlin.
The light in the gallery is now so perfect that instantaneous pictures are taken, and therefore that photographers pillory, known as "the head rest," is, at any rate in Messrs. Connolly and Co.'s establishment, but a memory of the past.
