| TEXT | In presenting a reliable reflex of the representative business houses of the metropolis, the magnitude of whose operatives and the prominence and unblemished character of whose proprietors have contributed greatly to the wealth and prosperity of New York, and justly entitle them to special notice in our review, the attention of our readers and the public is directed to the eminent and popular firm of Messrs. M. Knoedler & Co., No. 170 Fifth Avenue, whose fine-art establishment has obtained the highest reputation for its splendid paintings by some of the most famous masters of Europe and America, etchings, photogravures and engravings, and other artistic treasures. The house was originally established in 1848 by Messrs. Goupil & Co., and continued by them till 1858, when the present firm succeeded to the business. The premises occupied are very spacious, handsome and attractive, and are equipped and fitted up in a style unsurpassed by the most celebrated art galleries of Paris, Berlin, or London. The pictures are superb, and during the day hundreds of our fellow-citizens visit this gallery of art, and gaze with delight and rapture on paintings and engravings which recall to mind the glories of Raphael, Titian, Van Dyke, Reubens, Michael Angclo. and Murillo. The advance of science and art now permits a man in moderate circumstances to decorate the walls of his dwelling with engravings, etchings and photogravures, the production of the most celebrated houses in Europe. and fac similes of pictures which can be seen only in the most renowned private and public galleries of Europe and America. The individual members of this firm are gentlemen of the greatest ability, connoisseurs in painting, and in commercial and social life are esteemed and respected as business men of rare energy and upright private citizens. Mr. M. Knoedler, the senior partner, is well known in art circles, as the most efficient and critical judge of paintings in this country, and his excellent judgment is invariably indorsed by the ablest connoisseurs in Europe, as to the merits and valufr of any picture of the various modern schools. Under the enterprising and careful management of Messrs. Knoedler & Co., the high reputation borne by this house since its foundation has steadily increased, and in all attributes that lead to prosperity it is abundantly endowed. Ability and integrity have marked its career in the past and give ample promise of continued success in the future. |
