Royal Aspirations: Imitation and Artifice in New York’s Earliest Mansions

In the early eighteenth century, a growing class of merchant-aristocrats in New York began to desire lavish country homes of the sort occupied by European royals. Lacking the fine building materials and specialized craftsmen necessary to build faithful reproductions, they found a variety of creative ways to approximate them. Stucco veneers incised to resemble carved stone blocks, oilcloth floor coverings featuring trompe l’oeil depictions of marble pavements, and imitation relief programs in papier-mâché are just a few of the decorative devices that Manhattan’s elite used to express their worldly aspirations. This talk will discuss the various ways they were used in several surviving colonial homes in our area.

The Art & Collections Committee invites you to “Beyond Blue and White” with Genevieve Wheeler Brown.

Tickets $50

Nan A. Rothschild, an urban social archaeologist and adjunct professor at Columbia University, and Archaeologist Arthur Bankoff, will present Buried Beneath the City: An Archaeological History of New York. This award-winning book uses urban archaeology to retell the history of New York, from the deeper layers of the past to the topsoil of recent events. It explores the ever-evolving city and the day-to-day world of residents through artifacts which reveal the density, diversity, and creativity of a city perpetually tearing up its foundations to rebuild itself. Buried Beneath the City is both an archaeological history of New York City and an introduction to urban archaeology.

Tickets are no longer available online, but may be purchased at the door for $50.
