c. c. GIERs' PHOTOGRAPHIC DISPLAY.
In our running notes on displays we have
heretofore failed to notice the very hand
some collection Of photographs from the
gallery of Mr.. G. @. Giers, at No. 45 Union
street. The space allotted Mr.. Giers, TO
the left of the entrance from the main hall
to the fountain, is limited, and his display
is not so extensive as it would have other
wise been. However, he has succeeded in
artistically arranging specimens of his work
in such a manner as to attract universal
attention and admiration. The large
pictures in pastel eolors, as well as
the photO-crayons, are especially notice.
able. These beautiful works of ar
were coAred by MeSsrs. Paret and
Bethga, gentlemen who stand in the hight
est rank of their profession, and formerly
connected with the best galleries in New
York. Mr.. Bethga is lately from kurtz's
gallery, one of the leading photograph es-
Establishments in New York city. Mr.. Giers
was determined TO have his gallery attain
standing for artistic work equal to the best,
and, at very heavy expense, succeeded in
inducing these gentlemen to locate in this
city, and connect themselves with his es-
tablishment. That he has accomplished
his object, the display at the Exposition,
and the numerous evidences of artistic skill
in his parlUrs, at 10 Union street, abund
antly attest.
The beautiful crayOn picture of a little
son (now deceased) of Capt II. j. Cheney,
is pronounced by all his friends capital
likeness. II was copied and enlarged from
a photograph taken short time before his
death. The picture Of little Sallie Wheel
er is much admired, as well as the life-like
portrait of our next Governor, Hon. James
ID. Porter. In fact, Mr. Giers' entire col
lection is of character so near approach
ing perfection that it is almost impossible
to designate which are the best. To our
impractical eye, all are equally meritorious
and of the highest order of the photograph
ic art.
Mr.. Giers is as widely known as any ar
IlSL lCLuCccCCs Vi many gNaA+S
he has been established in this city, and
the advancement he has made IN photo
graphy is altogether owing TO his energy
and personal attention 10 his business.
His gallery is one of the finest In the
South, and will repay the visit OF any per.
son who enjoys examining real gems OF
Photographic art.
