| TEXT | Nothing so much points to the advancement of taste and refinement in a community as the establishment within it of houses devoted to the sale of goods comprised under the title of the fine arts. A prominent house so engaged is that of Messrs. V. Schefers & Co., which was established in 1866 by Mr. H. Mueller, and continued by him till 1883, when the present firm succeeded. The premises occupied are very convenient and handsome, and the stock carried is of the most recherche character, comprising oil-paintings, engravings, pastels, etc. A specialty of the house is photo-engraving or photo-graveurs of the most celebrated of the productions of eminent painters of both the modern and old schools, which are imported direct from the leading establishments of London, Berlin and Paris. The individual members of this enterprising firm are Messrs. V. Schefers and P. Kauffman, both of whom are practical men and connoisseurs in the department of fine arts. All engravings and pictures are purchased direct from the most famous studios in Europe, and the latest novelties in photos are obtained immediately after they are ready for the trade, while with regard to prices the long established reputation of the house is well known as one of the cheapest emporiums in the city at which to obtain this class of fine-art subjects. Messrs. Schefers and Kauffman have brought to bear on this enterprise sound judgment, tact and energy, backed by experience and capital, which advantages have enabled them to attend to the wants and demands of a critical trade. |
