Henry o. Tanner that unique figure in
the world of art, the only negro who has
thus far achieved an international reputa-
ton, has recently received another proof of
appreciation. His picture, The Annuncia-

Academy of Fine Arts has been purchased

prize of merit. which carries with it the
exceptional distinction of emitting the

The attractive collection of vitriographs
which Mr.. Chandiee exhibited here last
week will be placed on view in Earles
galleries in Philadelphia about April 1.
With the exception of those prints which
found purchasers at the recent exhibition.
the collection will be substantially the same
as when shown at Veerhoffs, though the
artist may be able to add one or two now
subjects. Mr.. Chandlee's exhibition is the
result of request which he received from
Philadelphia. Proverbially slow the city
may be in some things. but not in apprecia-
ton of artistic work.

The many new specimens of Tiffany fav-
rile glass and the collection of Grueby
pottery which have just been received at
Fischers formed the principal attraction
there this week. The Grueby ware is all In
a beautiful shade of dull green, and the
lack of variety in color is counterbalauced
by the diversity of the forms, which in
their graceful lines and decorative treat
nent leave little to be desired Ii Is a
ware which appeals more particularly to
the connoisseur. but the Tiffany glass has
in the gamut of color a richness and iri-
descent brilliancy that must appeal TO
every one, and the new additions surpass
all the specimens that have been previously
shown at Fischers.
