HIGH ART.
Visit TO Black e Co.'s Art School This
Morning.
There are probably many Of our citi-
zens who although fully capable of en-
joying the beauties of fine art, are not
aware Of the fact that we have in Harris
burg an art store which will compare ia
vorably with like enterprises in the large
cities. A visit to Black, on Market street
below Second, south side, will be sure to
Justify the above estimate. 1t has been
about seven months since Mr.. Black
opened his store, and calling there this
morning the reporter was surprised to
find the progress he has made, and the
exquisite collection of elegant conceits
with which he has filled his store. Be
side everything new of the recognized
masters in art, in engraving, lithograph,
India type, ETC., there are paintings, and
fancies in frames, mirrors, cabinets, and
others too numerous to mention here,
but all in merit well worthy the attention
Of people Of taste and culture Being an
artist himself of no mean rank, Mr..
Black has an advantage in the selection
Of stock over the mere dealer and we are
sure his enterprise will prove the more
successful the more widely he becomes
known among the cultured people of
Harrisburg and vicinity. His art school,
in the same building, is also very sue
ccssful, and has among its students rep
rescntativcs Of the best families in the
city. Those who have not yet visited
the new art store and school should lose
no time in calling there and enjoying q
pleasant surprise.
