ART A TRADE.

Paintings Turned ont by the Hundred.

Extensive Manufacture -of Daubs—"Pot-Boilers" and "Buckeyes."

The Workshops of the Trade—How Cheap Paintings are Sold—From $30 to $100 a Dozen, Including Frames.

Frum the New Xork Tribune. The manufacture ot chaap paintings has become an established industry in this city. Hundreds of daubs arc pioduced here daily, and are sent out over the country to be sold at good oil-paint-ings. '.A prominent dealer in pictures said recently that the manufacture and sale of daubs had become so extensive as to affect the price of fine pictures. "Our artists," he said, "would not complain of the hard times so much if the country had not been flooded with cheap imitations of their work. Chromos, lithographs and engravings, although they are so cheap as to find their way into the homes of the poor, do not much affect the prices ot oil-paintings, which will alwavs be the favorites of the rich, and will be sought after by persons of moderate means who desire to be In the fashion. The trouble is that almost any painted canvass will pa9s for an oilpainting among some buyers. Many affect an interest in art, but there are few good judges. Thousands of persons, who decorate their parlors with oilpaintings, can be imposed on by the dealers in cheap pictures."

There are two classes of cheap paintings— known among the picture dealers as "pot-boilers" and "ouckeyes." Paintings of the class first mentioned are pro duced by struggling artists, who prepare them, as they sav, "to keep the pot boiling." Many of them are attractive enough in form and color to deceive some buyers, although they are dashed off in a few hours. Not a few good artis paint "pot-boilers" when orders are scarce. Many other artists paint them regularly and supply them to the auction store*. Some of these artists are said to be in the employment of dealers in cheap pictures, and to receive stated sums for their paintings, without regard to the subjects treat ed. They paint many duplicates of their pictures, "and thus turn out a large number with a small variety of subjects.

HBuckeyeo"

are manufactured by thou

sands in various shops in this city. They are usual'y fo poor i.-i finish, and in color, that only the poorest judges of paintings can be deceived by them. They are rude copies of landscapes and marine pieces, in which there- is little diversity of coLr. About nine-tenths of tiiurn are copies of landscapes.

A gentleman, 'v#»il ifirmd in regard lathe manutacture of "Due.ccves" said recently to a Tribune rcpoitc: -"The workmen employed paint ihee daubs ar« either common limine painters or parsons who hare leain.J to handle the bruith without having acquired any knowledge of art. T:.ev paint entirely by rule, using paints an canvas pr'paied the manufacturer*.. The canvas is made from cotton cloth, .t a cost of about 8 cents per square yard. When workmen paint by the piece the prices range from 50 cent's to $2 for each pain i.ig. In some shops, girls and boys are employed fo 50 cents, or $1 a day, and do much of their work by means of sien. il plates. Poor artisis are emploed by the day to touch up the pictures afterwards. The paihtingS are then i.ovmvd v\itti a thin «oating of va h.cn hides some of their most glaring fault* The daubs are offered for sale in frames covered with an impoited composition known as 'Vienna metal'—a cheap imitation of gilt. BVames of this sort are made from good models, and, when new, closely resemble gilt frames. The entire cost of pictures and frames is about one-fifth of the cost of good frames. They are sold under gas-light in auc ion stores, where they appear to great advantage. When hutig up in the trving light ot a parlor, ttafey

appear

so flat that many of the buy

ers take them to regular dealers

vto

told at any pi ices thiy will bring. The frames crack and tirnish, after a few months' exposure to the air, and what wai bought fjr an ornament becomes an •yesore."

For purposes of observation, a reporter %isited several places whene "buckeyes" are manufactured. The first visit was made at the establishment of Philip Levy, No. 69 Cortlandt street, which is said to be the largest manufactory of Cheap painting* in this country. Mr. Livy occupies the whole of the three-story building, and is able to turn out over 100 oil paintings daily. The fira flocr is used for oacking goods and receiving lumber far frames. An elevator run to the second floor, where there is a carpenter shop and a storage room. The upper story is the "studio" or worksht p, where the paintings are manufactured. This portion of the building is guarded against intrusion. The reporter endeavored to gain an entrance, but met with a firm refcisal. No one could be allowed in the "studic," it was stated, except the "artists." Permission was given to look at the collection of paintings, ot which there were several hundred piled on racks in (he store-room. They were of various sixes, the majority being 22x36 inches— a size convenient tor the economical cutting of the canvass.- Of each painting there were dozens of duplicates, so nearly alike in appearance that the use of stencil plates in putting on the principal colors was well shown. In Mr. Levy's scale of prices no account was taken ot single pictures. Dozens only were considered. The prices ranged from $30 to $100 por dozen—frames included—ac •ording to the size of the paintings.

MYou

see," said Mr. Levy, when asked kow he could furnish paintings at so low rates, "there are a great many artists out of work in these days. I can get all the melt I want for a dollar a day. Then, when an artist makes several copies of the same picture, he can turn them out prettv fat. Mis paints are nixed in just the right colors, and all he has to do is to slap tnem on the canvas. Most of my pictures go out of the city. 1 get orders from all parts ot' the Country sow, and can fill an order for a hundred pictures with a few hour's notice."

The reporter next visited the manufhctory ot B. Mavers, at No. 50 Beekman street, aud was shown an extensive assortment of "buckeyes." Mr. Mayer's prices were higher than Levy's, ranging

from $40 to $150 per dozen. When this fact was called to his attention, he became excited enough to talk with great freedom. "You can't tell me anything about Levy." said he. "I was in partnership with him for several years. In 1 fact, I built up his business. But he is ruining the trade now. He has got a lot of girls and boys in his establishment who know nothing at all about painting. They paint in most ot the ground work of the pictures with large brushes and stencil plates, and the pictures are tonched up afterward." Mr. Mayers said that his artists were employed by the piece. His paintings and those of alike character made by Charles Rode, of No. 193 Grand street, Williamsburg, are sold in this city and in Brooklyn. During the winter Mr. Myers kept an auction store for the sale of his paintings under the Grand Central Hotel.

At No. 647 Broadway, the reporter found another manufactory of cheap paintings, conducted by John R. Levison. who occupies two rooms in the top story, and employs half a dozen workmen. His custom is to take small collections of pictures into the country and sell then at auction. George Smith, at

N o. 204 Chatham-st.,J manufactures "buckeves" of a small size, which sell at the rate of $16 per dozen, frames included.

The auction stores, for the sale of cheap paintings, have become conspicuous in the city. It is u«ual on pleasant days to see a score of perfons grouped in front of any one of these stores, gazing at a few choice specimens of the collection, which are displayed in the windows. An auction flag, announcing a sale "this day," hangs in front «-f the store. Large placards announce the sale of "choice collections of oil paintings by American and foreign artists." Inside the walls are hung with chea^ paintings in imitation gilt frames. An easel, lighted bv rows of gas jets, stands in the center of the room, to' display the pictures offered for bids. Near the easel sits the auctioneer, who keeps up a conversation in tones loud enough to attract the attention of the crowds in the street. He is assisted by two or three men, who, when the store is empty of customers, may be seen chatting together, and who seem to be disinterested buyers when anr bidders appear. They start bids, make favorable comments on tht pictures, and run up the prices when interest is shown in a paint ing. They watch the other bidders sharply and stop competing when the purchaser is seen to wavei. By this means many of the pictures are made to b'ing profitable prices. Paintings purchased from the manufacturers at the rate of $50 per dozen, sell for $20 or $30 each.

Catalogues of pictures are distributed among the purchasers to stimulate sales. In these pamphlets figure the names of W. H. Langworthv, Charles Denekas, George Gantz, Searhy

Willis, Felix

Cozens, Mhrir Carnfield and several othi painters of "pot boilers." Many other natnes in the list attached to "buck eve" paintings are purely fictitious, and cannot be found in any of the directories. Thev are such names as Hiller, Jardinier, Menzes, Scliinzel, Tannert, Priend, Renaud,Tarrant and Waterbin. Other names are those of well known and reputable artists, changed in the spelling or with initials wanting. Among the names used are those of Thomas Cole ard I.F. Kense t, eminent artists, now dead Eglaw, for Eglau Gifforde, for Giffoid Sontag, for Sountag Moran, Nicholson, Tait, Turner, WeUer, Van Willis and pupils of Hart. Beside Mr. Mayer's auction room, under the Grand Central hotel, there has been another at No. 491 Broadwav during the winter, and two similar 6tores have been carried* on recently at Nos. 53 and 121 Nassau street. The regular picture dealers relate anecdotes of persons who have bought paintings. which they believed to.be the works of prominent artists, ard showed them as such to their iriends, and even to the artists themselves.

Another mc I hod of swindling buvers of cheap painting* is Rpgken of. A Mur ray st. stationer was visited recently by a man who reprtsente himself to be an artist of this citv, well know by his works. He said he desired the loan of $80 on a picture which he carritd under his arm. The stationer took the picture as security, and gave the desired su n. He then se"t for a framer, to have the oainting hung up in his parlor The framer looked at the picture, and said. "I can get you a dozen, exactly like this, for fifty cents apiece." After a visit to one of the auction rooms, the stationer saw that he had been swindled. A wealthy resident of Brooklyn Heights was defrauded in the same way by a man who represented himsel fto be Mr. Van Willis, the Brookh artist. A New York lawyer when applied to in a like manner, asked.the man to sit down and make a sketch of a centre table. The man was self-convicted by his inability to sketch. ... „.

PATENT COMPLEXIONS.

Some Excellent Advise by Olive Logan on Enameling ,, the Face.

rt**'

London, March 8th, 1878.

"You may perhaps remember the name of Madame Rachoel, a villainous old harridan who professes to be able to render the complexion ot her dupe& "beautiful forever," She has just served out a term of five years imprisonment for obtaining money by swindling and fraud in this way, and ha* hardly got out again and into a new shop, when, beginning

HER OLD TRICKS,

she is taken into custody once more. The wonder is that such a notorious old creature should be aole to make new dupes, but then "London is a world," and young people who werp children when the other trial took place are now men and w«men, and the past to them is but a blank of croquet balls and college.

I think it was about ten years ago vhen this woman, Madame Rachael, first began to attract the attention of ladies by laving out the bait to them, by means of advertisements of her Dower to make them "beautiful forever." The phrase invariably appeared at the head of her announcements, which were lavishly inserted, not onlj in all the ladies' papers in England, but in the United States and on the Continent. What she offered for sale were powders, lotions and unguerts, said to be prepared after the formulae in use 1

IN THE HAREMS

And to which the ladies of the Seraglios were said to be indebted for their witching charms there w-re also references to a process of enameling which could only be gone through with at the Madame's rooms. Occa-s onally mention was made of Madame Vestris, Lady Blessington, and even of the longdeparted Ninon deL'Enclos, whose beauty nnarvelously preserved into an old age is traditionally ascribed to some chemical secret, i'hese was nothing more blamable in these advertisements than in hundreds appearing every day in newspapers all over the world but who kr.ows how many thousand* pounds this woman had accumulated by her enameling swindle before she met a ladv

COURAGEOUS ENOUGH

To expose the whole business, her own folly and weakness included! It shows how, like a fatal lightening stroke in its rarity, was that experience, that Madame Rachel should have immediately commenced operation as soon as she got out of priso.i, not believing it possible that another dupe could be found who would divulge the matter to the world.

The former victim, Mrs. Borrodalle, had more excust for her weakness than the present plaintiff, Mrs. Godfrey Pearse, has. Mrs. Borrodalle was a handsome worr an, moving in the best society, wecre full dress is de rigueur on all ceremonious occasions and who had oeen unfortunate enough to be severely burned upon the neck and bust. The scars It it were said to be frightful, and undoubtedly a source of great mortification to an othei wise beauti ul woman. si OLD RACHEL Confidently asserted that she could obliterate every trace of the mishap and render this disSgured portion as plump, as whits, and as smooth as the skin ot a baby. Then began her extortions. She wrung thousands upon thousands cf dollars from her victims, of course, without the slightest return in the way promised, and still kept grinding out th* last penny, and the last bit of jewelry from the unfortunate creature she bad in her clHtches. At length the lady summoned up courage and brought her to book. The result was what I have named—five years* imprisonment, and her picture in the Rogue's Gallery in Srotland Yard.

Mrs. Godfrey Pearse, the present plaintiff, is a daughter of the celebrated Grisi and Mario, the opera singers, and is wedded to a man of means. She is ?, @A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG CREATURE, Just twenty four years of age, and one of the last women in London to require such aid as that offered by Madame Rachel. She had no knowledge whatever of the woman's former career, and merely went into the shop (which had up the sign over the door "Arabian Performer to the Queen") to buy a paper of violet powder. In the course of the purchase, Rachel asked her if she did not wish to be made beautiful forever? Mrs. Pearse very pointedly asked her why, if sue possessed this secret, she did not apply it to herself. To which Rachel replied: "Perhaps, vou do not know how old I am I am eighty-five."

This was, of course, untrue she is not within a quarter of a century of that age. Then began the squeeze. The price for enameling was said to be $2,500. and Rachel asserted that she was then doing it to "a Countess" who had pawned her jewels to her in payment. This Mrs. Pearse did and her inability to get them back, or to obtain any return ror her money or valuaoles, except a plentiful

CROP OF PIMPLES

All over her face from the poisonous washes the "Arabian" perfumer was using, led her to confess the matter to her husband, who placed it in legal hands.

The subject is full of interest to me because I hear so much about "enameling" and getting "fixed up in Pans," and all that sort of thing from the lips of American women who come over here. It is really surprising to see the amount of credulity extant among our women on this subject. There is a settled and wide-spread belief among them to the effect that there is "A MAN'' in Paris who for the sum of two hundred dollars will enamel a face so that the complexion will be for the space ot three years as lovely, a9 delicate, as fascinating as a bit of Sevres porcelain. Of course I know who "the man" is and where his shop is, having often bought a bit of harmless soap or a tooth-brush there but I prefer not to indicate him definitely, for I think he gets more than enough money from uur countryw omen as it is.

TOO MUCH PAINT.

An American girl went over to Paris with her brother, the other day, and the instant she was left alone with their companion in the carriage, a middle-aged Frenchman, he insulted her. She told1

her brother when he returned, and there was a fearful outburst. The Frenchman gave bis card, and said he was

DEEPLY SORRY,

and Would abide by the decision of the otner as to the consequence to entue for his mistake, but certainly he never suspected Mademoiselle was a lady, as she was painted! The brother appealed to the best authoritiea in Paris in these matters, to learn what the code was under these circumstances, and all the men of the Jockey Club told him that if his sister's eyelashes were blackened and hei cheeks rouged, he could have no redress, as these practices were never followed by urn.demoiselle du monde.

TOO MUCH JEWELRY.

There is another practice I wish our woman would abandon, and one which is far more general than painting the face, and that is, loading themselves with jewe ry when traveling, in Europe you can tell American women as far as you can see them on the boats and railways by the quantity of jingling bracelets flashing earing% uncountable finger-rings and loud neck-chains, lockets and chate laines, which proclaim their lack of keeness of perception in regard to the fitness of things. High-bred women in Europe

NEVFR WEAR JEWELRY,"'

except when in full dress. That was one thin^ so admired in Mrs. Hicks. He«diamonds were gorgeous, magnificent, yet she seldom wore all at once, even in the evening. If she wore her splendid diamond and pearl necklace, she lkft off her diamond stomacher and her high diamond comb. For carriage wear and calling, I never saw htr wear anything more showy than a small diamond arrow, earrings and brooch, scarcely bigger than this pen tip 1 am writing with.

JOHNNY'S COMPOSITION ON BABIES. Babys ain't big enough for to lick 'em, or'you would see me a pitchin' ir. yes, indeed, cose I don't like 'em but when you look at one and see 'em so little, VOJ saj: "Now, if I was to take off my coat and give you a good thration, you cudent hellup yourself, so mebbe you cudent hellup bein' a nuisance, neither." 1 spose I like our haby, cos Ime told to, but wot does he put his gummy hands in my face for when I kissim?"

Mary, thats the house maid, she was only a little girl when she was »o heme, and she use to have dols, but she never had see a meat baby close to her till she come to our house tor to live, and that girl was jest 0 stonish all the time to see what baby would do, and it was morn a month fore she wude tuch him. One day she come a bnstin into the dinin room wile it wap dinner, wite like a sheet, and hardl" anybreth, and she said: "O, if you pieese, mutt), baby has went and et th* nursery door every bit up, ol but jest the nob!"

But wen my mother she went to see wot was up, it was only father he had tuk the door off to mend it, and baby was a suckin a paper wate.

Wen Mary first come to our house, Uncle Ned he was a plavin with baby after lunch one day, and he had the cork of a ale bottle stickin onto the cork scru, and he was a lettin baby take it into its mouth. Mary come in while he was a doin it, and she seen him pull it out quick, and she run in the kitchen fast as ever si cude, and brote Uncle Ned a tumbler on a tray.

Tween me and you I don't bleeve that girl has any thinker. There was 1 man and hia wife, and their little baby, and they lived all alone by their own sells in the woods, ten, one hundred thousand miles away from any other houses. The man he hunted dcers with a gun, and his wite she 6taid to home for to mind the baby. One effle dark nite the man haddent cum home, and his wife she knew he had got hisself lost, and was et by a wild beest, and was killed br sabbages, and froz to deth, and she was a frade. Bime by, in the middle of the nite she heerd something like a little chile a cryin, and a cry in, outside in the dark, sometimes on one side of the house and sometimes on the other side, and she said it was a spirit which had come for her baby, so she set in the middle or the room and hugged her baby, and was friten most to deth. And the thing outside kept a cryin and a cryin, till her blud was cole like she had a chil, but the baby was a sleep, poor thing, in her arms. After a white she herd a noise at the windo, and she looked up and hollered, for she saw

a lookin in like coles of fire, and Im so frade that I can't write any more, cos its nite, and Ime alone. Wheres my mother?

Ive found Uncle Ned, and lie has lit his pipe, and he savs: "Drive a head, Johnny, if you conjer up a fiting demon lie stan bv and see fare play, bet yure life!'

Wei, jest then there was a gun, for it was a pantner, and the man he had come home and shot it. But when he went in the house his wife dident kno him. cos she went crazy, and she had hugged the baby so tight it was ded.

If Ide ben ther yude a seen me gic the poker and wock strate up to the winder, and Ide a said: "Mister Panther, it you carry fire in your eyes, it has got to be poked," and Ide a let have it as fur in as I could make it go, and hollered hooray!

But Uncle Ned says wot wude I done if I had see a notice on the windo— "Don't worry the animals." 2 babys jest alike is twins, but Missis Jonsin she told me hern was twins, wich it a he, cos one of'em is a girl. I dont kanow how famlys wich have twins get along, cos the fire poker aint got but one end wich can be sucked. My father he says babys a puttin everything in their mouth is a inherited ink-stand, cos in a natural state they wud have to eat lots of things which they wud find, kind of forage for theirselfs, or they wude starve, but I think they mite bout as wel starve as get pizened.
