| TEXT | The business of a practical painter is one which in a metropolitan and migrating city like New York is of considerable value. In this department of labor are engaged many very worthy citizens and men who possess considerable mechanical genius. All over the world, as a people, we. are known for the way in which we can use to the best purposes printers' ink. And we may add to this painters' brush, because more and more every year we are bringing the latter into requisition. Tucker Bros, are known as practical sign and picture painters. They are certainly ahead of anything we have seen in New York. The picture painting herein referred to consists of those large canvas paintings to be seen along the beach at Coney Island or adorning such scenes as Bowery museums. It requires much more ingenuity to plan and execute such work than one would think of at first thought. The whole "get-up" of some of these pictures is very good, and in mostly every instance what they seek to delineate is strikingly true to nature. The facilities of this firm is such that they are able to paint such pictures and make them as long as one hundred feet if required. This firm, embracing the brothers, Stanton and Edwin Tucker, has been in business ten years, four of which they have been at their present locution, No. 28 West Houston Street, between Mercer and Greene. As specialists in fancy show painting we do not know better artists. These gentlemen are both natives of New York and seem to know how to arrest the attention of the countryman to "a funny picture." They also do regular sign painting. |
