CAREER OF A PICTURE.
World-Famous "Rock Of Ages"-The
Painter Lives in Virginia.

Word-Famous "Rock of Ases"-The
Painter Lives in Virginia.
In countless homes adorned by the
world-famous picture, the Rock OF
Ages" il would be matter of sur
prise TO learn that the artist, the Rev.
Johannes A. Oertei, now in his SDth
year, is resident of the village OF
Vienna, in Fairfax county, Va, where,
in a picturesque studio OF his own
modelling. he continues tho work
known wherever art has penetrated.
The artist, native of Bavaria, who
came to America in 1S4S, settling in
Newark, N. j., first skctched it in the
album of a young girl living in West
It, suggesting; small painting OF rH5
subject in oil, which he exhibited al
the National Academy OF Design In
New York. This caught the keen eye
of Broadway dealer. who. realizing
its commercial value, induced MI. Ger
tel TO maze q large painting, from
which photographs were struck oif'
and one of these falling into the hands
of MIR. james of Providence, r. l., he
purchased the right OF publishing all
subsequent copies.
The painting was bought for $1,000
by Augustus Storrs, Brooklyn mer-
chant. while the rua upon the un-
framed pictures, ten inches high. got
ten out By Mr. James. and selling for
S. apiece, was unprecedented in the
history Of photography, the operators
heing unable to meet the demand AMI
dealers losing sales from insufficient
supply of copies.
Mr.. Jamns's next venture was
chromo-lithograph, made under his
own supervision in Paris. Passing
through ondCn on his way home, he
sold throe of these chromOs for nine
euinras to Mr.. Graves. the queens
bookseller. Upon his arrival in Liver
pool, tclcgraphic order awaited him
from that gentleman for 80 additional
COMICS. and on reaching New icrk
he was handed an application from
him for tho entire edition.
Indeed, phenomenal as was the sale
of this creation in America, it was
greater abroad. An English noblcmaL
hazards the assertion that. In some
one of It's varied forms. it is to be
found in every palace and hoy"l In the
island, and q traveller returning from
q tour of the world exclaimed: The
pict,lrc haunts me. 1t follows me
wherever I 30. have seen 1t ii Chill;
7 have seen it also in the Pyrenecs.
Two years after the appearance OF
the first photographs Mr. James haa
realized as his share OF the profits
s75 900. Mr.. Oertcl. too, was in re-
ccipt of handsome income in royal
ties. and with this assured support
(having pursued his theological stud
les without assistance, and been or
dained to the priesthood OF The Prot
estant Episcopal church) he removed
in 1867 to I.cnoir. in North Carolina
and took charge Of a congregation
impoverished by the civil war.
Two years later an unauthorized
copy of the Rock of Ages WIS got
ten out by New York photographer.
MIR. Oertcls publisher sought pro-
lection from the law. and the case was
carried into tho lower and supreme
courts of the state. Scarcely had 1t
been decided in his favor, however,
