Book Description
Old South Brooklyn Entrepreneur is far more than a financial and commercial biography of Anson Blake 1789-1868. It provides many details of local history, not only of South Brooklyn (today’s Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Red Hook, Boerum Hill and Gowanus) before the Civil War, but of New York City’s economic history, including Anson Blake’s speculation in Wall Street area lands and buildings. Blake also speculated in Upstate New York’s Black River Canal region of Oneida, Hamilton and Herkimer counties where Anson Blake wanted a railroad to be built through his lots. Many interesting illustrations and photographs depict facets of Manhattan and Brooklyn history — including Blake’s early land and building speculation enterprises in South Brooklyn adjacent to the terminus of the original Long Island Railroad, and the Atlantic Street and Hamilton Avenue ferries. This book describes New York’s and Brooklyn’s history during the second quarter of America’s 19th century.

Pages : 314
Book Description
"Duncan Phyfe (1770-1854), known during his lifetime as the "United States Rage," to this day remains America's best-known cabinetmaker. Establishing his reputation as a purveyor of luxury by designing high-quality furniture for New York's moneyed elite, Phyfe would come to count among his clients some of the nation's wealthiest and most storied families. This richly illustrated volume covers the full chronological sweep of the craftsman's distinguished career, from his earliest furniture-- which bears the influence of his 18th-century British predecessors Thomas Sheraton and Thomas Hope--to his late simplified designs in the Grecian Plain. More than sixty works by Phyfe and his workshop are highlighted, including rarely seen pieces from private collections and several newly discovered documented works. Additionally, essays by leading scholars bring to light new information on Phyfe's life, his workshop production, and his roster of illustrious patrons. What unfolds is the story of Phyfe's remarkable transformation from a young immigrant craftsman to an accomplished master cabinetmaker and an American icon."--Publisher's website.
