Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Exhibition of Paintings, Engravings, Drawings, Aquarelles, and Works of Household Art, in the Cincinnati Industrial Exposition
The Committee on Fine Arts gratefully acknowledge the generous assistance of contributors in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, Cincinnati, and other localities, whereby it has been rendered possible to present this extensive collection of art works. As indicated by the catalogue, many of the paintings and articles of household art are offered for sale at such reasonable prices as, it is believed, will meet the views of those wishing to purchase. It may be safely asserted that no like opportunity for the acquisition of meritorious works of art has ever been presented in the West. It is hoped that sufficient encouragement in the way of sales will be given to the artists and dealers who have sent contributions, to provide for the success of future exhibitions.
