Indefatigable Philadelphia Painter Turns Pawnshop Trade
A Philadelphia pawnshop tale from the Philadelphia Record recalls a painter who, nearly four years into market struggles, found success by shifting to pawnshop sales. He began with unsellable pictures, receiving help from a broker who financed and later sold many works. Eventually he built a living from pawning and selling art through the shop, while the broker managed the sales. The piece ends with a note on friendship and respect as the sweetest end to love in old age.
