There are japanese goods and there are

A good deal of the SNOWY ware brought

ART WORK AT PHENIX.
The Etching Work and Contracts OF
Arthur Douglas.
INDUSTRIES OF THE STATE.
How a Rhode Island Artist Competed
with Big Concerns and Got Large
Contracts About the Live Busi-
ness Of the state and the City.

It is remarkable instance that firm
should have been for some weeks en-
gagged In all unusually important con-
tract for it's wares aud never have re-
ceived public mention.
The firm of A. Douglas & Co., engravers
and printers, is now engaged in getting
out the largest order for etchings ever
printed in the United States. fortv-one
thousand copies being demanded. The
etching Is the work OF Arthur Douglas,
and Its Deauty, and fine conception, ana
artistic merit is established from tue TACT
that it was chosen on its merits by Hon.
A. George Bullock, chairman OF the art
committees of the Worlds Fair. j. A.
Lowell g. Co., aud the American BANK
Note Company having submitted COM
peting designs.
Mr.. Douglas competed for the 1893, cal
endar of the State Mutual Life Assur
ance Company of Worcester, and submit
ted six designs in steel plate and etcn-
ings, all of which were said by judges TO
be of markedly high quality. The design
accepted is an ideal sketch, l3 by 513
inches, showing bay and landscape, with
far-reaching and beautifully toned per-
spectice windmill in. the middle dis
tance giving it a Hollandaise style.
The calendar will be printed on impe,.
rial japan vellum paper. made by hand
by the Japan government. The pad Is
copyrighted by Mr.. Douglas. The con-
tract. when completed, December lst,
will weigh over nine tons and Is the larg-
est calendar contract given out in New
England this year.
Another contract which Mr.. Douglas
has taken Is an order for ten thousand
etchings for a calendar for the Under
writers Association OF PROVIDENCE. Mr..
Frederick Arnold, secretary of the Equit-
able Insurance Company. who has sunl-
mer residence at Kettle Point, chose the
design for this work. IL is a view of the
PROVIDENCE River, with shipping, and
shore scenery, very utilitarian in feeling,
looking up the river from Kettle Point.
This point of view gives "a novel scene,
not hitherto sketched Tor public use, and
presents familiar picture, with what IL
seems must be the west shore whopped
over onto the east bank of the river.
Mr.. Douglas was pupil OF the RHODE
ISLAND School OF Design during the first
year of its existence. AT that time Henry
Kenyon, the artist, and the Woodward
brothers, now at the head OF the New
Orleans Funded Art School, were also be-
ginning their art education. Mr.. Doug
las had as a pupil one who has since at
tanned favorable reputation, Clifford
Carleton, whose illustral ions In the Har-
pers' publications and in Life are
judged among the best. Clifford Carle-
ION has just illustrated Tudor Jencks's
clever story, How She Read the Summer
Novel" with sketch that the younger
contingent of artists name as perfect
specimen of drawing and posing.
