Picturing Victorian America
Author: Nancy Finlay
Publisher: Wesleyan University Press
ISBN: 0819571253
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Winner of the Ewell L. Newman Award from the American Historical Print Collectors Society (2009) Winner of the Betty M. Linsley Award from the Association for the Study of Connecticut History (2010) This is the first book-length account of the pioneering and prolific Kellogg family of lithographers, active in Connecticut for over four decades. Daniel Wright Kellogg opened his print shop on Main Street in Hartford five years before Nathaniel Currier went into a similar business in New York and more than twenty-five years before Currier founded his partnership with James M. Ives, yet Daniel and his brothers Elijah and Edmund Kellogg have long been overshadowed by the Currier & Ives printmaking firm. Editor Nancy Finlay has gathered together eight essays that explore the complexity of the relationships between artists, lithographers, and print, map, and book publishers. Presenting a complete visual overview of the Kelloggs' production between 1830 and 1880, Picturing Victorian America also provides museums, libraries, and private collectors with the information needed to document the Kellogg prints in their own collections. The first comprehensive study of the Kellogg prints, this book demands reconsideration of this Connecticut family's place in the history of American graphic and visual arts. CONTRIBUTORS: Georgia B. Barnhill, Lynne Zacek Bassett, Candice C. Brashears, Nancy Finlay, Elisabeth Hodermarsky, Richard C. Malley, Sally Pierce, Michael Shortell, Kate Steinway.

Somers
Author: Jeanne Kenyon Debell
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 9780738504896
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Since first striking out on its own in 1734, Somers has been transformed from a community of diverse agriculture to a major manufacturing center for fine fabrics, accompanied by an influx of vital immigrants, to the present mix of commuting residents and active farmers. After Somers separated from the town of Enfield, it served mainly as the breadbasket for the two nearest cities, Springfield, Massachusetts, and Hartford, Connecticut. In the early-twentieth century, the town changed dramatically as the Somersville Manufacturing Company expanded and became an important source of fabric for the military during the two world wars. Fine fabrics continued to be manufactured in Somers until the late 1960s, long after most textile factories had left for the South. Today, Somers still has tobacco, corn, potato, berry, and dairy farms, and also serves as a convenient home for commuters to cities and surrounding towns. In Somers, the unique history of this rural New England town is captured in photographs, postcards, and artists' renditions from the last half of the 1800s to the present. Each image is identified with extensively researched and informative captions. The chapters depict early homes and farms (many still in existence), families and individuals, businesses, schools, and churches. They show the transition from largely produce farms to horse farms and tree farms, and to residential developments, as well as the rescue from decay of the unique, century-old Free Public Library.
