English: The studio of artist Harry Watrous, c. 1895, from the article "Studio-Suggestions for Decoration" by Clarence Cook in The Monthly Illustrator, Vol. 4, No. 13 (May, 1895), pp. 235. From the article: "Harry Watrous has wrestled very successfully with the problem that confronts many of us in these days of make-believe chimney-piers and mock fire-places, by covering his pier with a noble trophy of arms, and curtaining the fraudulent fire-place with a handsome Oriental rug, making a background for a tempting lounge of rugs, leopard skins and cushions."
