| TEXT | The leading and most widely known up-town dealer in artists' materials, picture frames, books, stationery, is Mr. W. H. Powell, whose attractive store is so eligibly located at No. 997 Sixth Avenue, between 55th and 56th Streets. Mr. Powell is the son of the late Mr. W. H. Powell, the celebrated artist, several of whose famous pictures adorn the National Capitol and the prominent public galleries. Mr. Powell possessed the genius and gift of true high art. In definition, expression and general grace and beauty his pictures are worthy exemplars of the highest plane of American art. The late Mr. Powell's picture of "Perry's Victory on Lake Erie," and his "De Soto Discovering the Mississippi River," are among those ornamenting the walls of the Capitol in Washington, while other works of his are to be found in various public and private galleries, held at an ever increasing valuation as their age increases. The untimely decease of Mr. Powell four years ago created a widespread feeling of sorrow throughout the tens of thousands of the appreciative admirers of his great and masterly productions. His works, however, live after him, a truly gifted American's tribute to the native land he loved so well. Mr. W. H. Powell (the subject of this sketch) has now been established in business upon Sixth Avenue for the last four years, and has developed a large and permanent trade of a strictly first-class character. He always carries a fully assorted stock of artist's materials, pigments, oils, water colors, crayons, pastels, camel's-hair brushes, bris-tol and cardboard, standard works on drawing and everything accessory to the leading features of the business. He numbers among his permanent customers many of our leading artists, who find in Mr. Powell an honorable and thoroughly practical dealer with a perfect knowledge of the wants of the profession. He likewise deals in elegant and artistic picture frames suited for the framing of any subject in either an ornate or subdued manner and covering the entire field of oil-paintings, water-colors, etchings and engravings. A department in this ably conducted establishment contains a large assortment of strictly choice stationery, also the new books, etc. Mr. Powell gives close personal attention to every detail of his b'usiness, which is a thoroughly representative one in its line, and thoroughly creditable to the metropolis. |
