VILLAGE BLACKSMITH
A BEAUTIFUL PAINTING

Realism in art certainly has never
been more realistically portrayed
then in the magnificent oil painting,
The Village Blacksmith" which is
being displayed in the drapery de-
partment on the third floor Of the
-zollinger Co. store, at Fourth
and Market streets.
Created. rather than painted, by a
French artist, Herbert de Mareau, of
Cannes, France, it has been truly
called his masterpiece.
The arrangement of the large can
vas. 7xS, is such that one standing
before it seems to be looking through
a window into the interior of the
shop, and the longer the gaze the
more realistic does the picture be-
comes until il seems as though one
should next see a troop of merry
boys rush through the half opened
door to watch the mighty smith" at
work
After his death. de Mareau's W dow
sold the painting to NJ. Donbette, of
Paris, for S2.500. M. Donbette en-
tered it at the Grand Salon, where it
received a bronze medal and was re-
sold for S12,5O0.
Changing hands five times since
then, with an increase in price each
time. it is now the property of 1hall's
estate of Boston. who paid $42,500 for
the canvas, which, today, could not
be purchased for less than 100000.
When the painting was brought to
America, it was first exhibited in
Wanamakers store, in Philadelphia,
and has since been exhibited in that
city five times. 1t has travelled more
than 10000 miles and has delighted
more than 12,000,000 people. Since
arriving. in Wilmington the painting
has been viewed by hundreds of peo-
pie, all of whom have praised its mar
vellous beauty Of conception most
highly
