The largest of all the large galleries on Broadway is that of Messrs. Fredericks & Co., and, as the ordinary galleries are generally called mammoth, this, for variety, ought to be designated "bi-mammoth." The whole of the ground and first-floors are thrown into one "crystal front," and make a very attractive and showy appearance. The shop windows are filled with life-sized portraits painted in oil, crayon, and other styles. The walls of the interior are lined with life-sized pictures of eminent men. The floor is richly carpeted, and the furnishing superb. A gallery runs round the walls to enable the visitors to view the upper pictures and obtain a general view of the saloon, the tout ensemble of which is magnificent. From the ground-floor an elegant staircase springs, leading to the galleries, toilet, and waiting rooms, thence to the "operating rooms," or studios. This gallery was "enlarged" and re-opened in 1860.
