New York Artist Habits and Exile of Bohemia in 1886
Our New York Letter surveys artist colonies and Bohemian haunts in Manhattan, noting the Studio Building and Allston as artist havens, the popularity of clubs like the Authors and Century, and nightly gatherings where long clay pipes and social talk prevail, alongside a shift toward more businesslike writers and the politics of exhibitions in London and New York. It also mentions the American Exhibition delay in London and notes praise for Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption from a Tennessee physician.
