OriginalSource: Lebanon Patriot (Lebanon, Indiana), March 19, 1891, p. 8
"Art at the Wedding." At grand wedding of Sarah Adler and Henry Moses on Tuesday eve, art mingled itself with pleasure. After the elaborate supper was served, the bride and groom and their attendants were ushered into the "Histed" Portrait Company's studio (in the same building) and there the manager introduced a portion of Histed's new method of photography, that is making photos at night. After arranging the pretty group of twelve ladies and gentlemen, the photographer turned off all light, leaving the room in total darkness. Then, quick as a wink, a great flash of white light was seen, and all was over, thus making a picture in the sixty-fourth part of a second, and the happy group had seen something they had never dreamed of before. The photographer at once developed the negative, and to the astonishment of all present, there was really a picture of themselves made at night, as true and plain as day, each figure being perfect and the first photograph ever made after dark in the city of Lebanon. Studio over Bell's drug store, west side of square. They will be here for about six weeks longer, making photos by either day or night.

Lebanon Patriot (Lebanon, Indiana), April 9, 1891, p. 8
Ad for Histed Photograph Company. Giving 8 best finished cabinets, including one elegant life like, water color portrait for only one dollar. Sittings made until 10 o'clock every night, rain or shine. 1w. / The Histed Company remains about four weeks longer. Go see them.

Lebanon Pioneer (Lebanon, Indiana), May 14, 1891, p. 9
Miller Davis, the sensational photographer who held out over Bell's drug store, under the high-sounding title of the Histed Portrait Company, collected a pocket-full of money in advance on work and skipped out one night last week. When his room was broken open it was found that he had taken all his traps. Patronize home people!
