PROMISING SCRANTON ARTIST. It Work Warmly Commended by tjuincy, Mass., Advertiser. In a report a celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of .the Inaugu ration of John Adams as president of the United States the Quincy, Mass., Advertlser'hns the following concern ing a promising young Scranton artist who assisted In beautifying the old Adams cottage which is one of the his toric landmarks of Quincy: The medallion picture of John Adams over tlie pediment of the front door of the "cottage" is done on paper of an antique color, and Is a successful elfort of .Mr. Samuel Warner, of Scranton, Pa., to re produce the simple wood cut work that was much in vogue a hundred years ago, Mr. Warner is a young' artist of much promise, now located In Quincy with Mr. Silas 13. Dullleld, jr. His special line of work, children's fig ures, for hook illustrations and cover de signs, appeal to that love which we all have for children and their unaffected poses. As we gaze upon his productions of the urchins playing at tops or marbles and of the girls with their boy companions on their way to school, noting the truth fulness of their dress and llgures (the careless romp not being overlooked) our minds go hack to the happy childhood days. His drawings are all from life, the side walks of our city furnishing him his mo dels. He Is never so happy as when he has captured an urchin of striking care lessness of dress and pose to stand tor him In his studio. The Idea of truthful draw ings of children for illustrative purposes has not been fully appreciated in art, but its conception appeals to the discerning mind of the present day, and Mr. Warner cannot help but reap the reward that his talents warrant, and so we are pleased to have him amongst us.
