Title A name given to the resource Wall Street, around 1872 Description An account of the resource What's funny about this post is the fact that this picture would not be relevant to the thought of Wall Street. Considering that in today's Wall Street a picture of it would not include a sky because of New York's architectural advances. It's also interesting to see the authors from the this courses material, exclude the contribution of high rises because they did not have any. What I mean to say is I wonder how different the writings of writers such as Lydia Maria or Whitman, would be living in a New York With High rises.

Taken in 1848, the image highlights a busy New York City. The boat traffic in the river helps to build an understanding of how goods, services and people made it to the island. Much of the buildings in the image are small, and not very high. This helps to show that the building technology had not yet allowed buildings to grow taller. The largest buildings in the image seem to be warehouses near the river, but as we know these smaller buildings would not last for long.

Title A name given to the resource A "hovel" of the 1900s Description An account of the resource This home is considered to be a “hovel”. It is the home to two African American families in Washington, D.C in 1935. The home is very tiny, especially for two families living it in. There is not much more to the house other than what is seen in the picture. The only other room, other than maybe a bedroom, in the house in a bathroom that is not seen in the picture. During this time period and up until the 1950’s, these homes were considered the slums. The majority of people who occupied these type of homes were African Americans and people who lived in poverty. “Hovel” has a very negative connotation. This home could be seen as a cute and homey house, but instead it is described as a hovel or a shack. This shows the exploitation and harsh treatment that the African Americans and poor suffered as they were extremely looked down upon. Wharton, in “The Old Maid” uses “hovel” to describe orphanages and to show that people also exploited orphans for their own benefit.

Title A name given to the resource Orphanages in the late 1800's Description An account of the resource This image is of the Protestant Orphan School in 1870, an orphanage created by a religious institution. This orphanage is located in Australia but it resembles an orphanage in America during this time. The Protestant Orphan School was originally only for females, but it merged with a Male Orphan School in the 1850’s. In the 1850’s many renovations were made to the female orphan school, adding new dormitories and a new hospital building, to accommodate the 77 boys and 82 girls that lodged at the orphanage during this time. The orphanage also planted many trees and plants in the 1850’s to provide the children with a more pleasurable and scenic stay, as shown in the picture. Like many other orphanages during this time, The Protestant Orphan School provided an education system for its children. Boy and girls were separated though into different classes covering different topics. Before this time period, many orphanages only focused on schooling, rather than providing a home and family setting for the children, but the 1850’s started the trend, in both America and Australia, to merge these two ideas and provide both a living setting and good schooling system for the children.

Title A name given to the resource Staten Island Quarantine Hospital Fire Description An account of the resource On September 1, 1858, the Staten Island Quarantine Hospital was swarmed by a group of people who set fire to the hospital facilities. The goal of the fires was to remove the hospital and keep the sick immigrants from entering the country. Many of the people who lived on the island believed that the hospital was the reason for much of the sickness and disease floating through their towns. The image shows an angry mob outside of the gates which eventually made their way inside to burn down the entire hospital. In the end, although all buildings were burned, there were only 2 deaths. Although one patient died of Yellow Fever and another was killed by a worker, there were no other deaths as a result of the fires. The organizers were tried for arson but were ultimately acquitted of the charges. With the hospital completely destroyed, the mob had achieved their goal of removing it.

Title A name given to the resource Broadway & Ann Description An account of the resource This is a lithograph of the intersection of Broadway and Ann Street, which is an intersection right before the location of City Hall. I found this fascinating because it was done by a German born immigrant, which helps emphasize how people viewed NYC and began to understand it. This depiction features many significant structures of the time including, Trinity Church, St. Paul's Chapel, and Barnum’s American Museum. I think this is significant because of the many occurrences Broadway has had in the works we have read. I think the main thing to take away from this image is the underlying context. In this lithograph, one of he most popular museums of the time is featured, which emphasizes that entertainment connotation of Broadway. In today's world if one hears Broadway they think of entertainment and various stage shows. I think is significant because back in the 1850's people were coming looking for opportunity and with the city constantly growing with bustling immigrants and new structures the opportunities became endless. I also believe the details of the people in the picture are significant as they are not only featured in an extremely busy intersection, but also displayed in an extremely wealthy manner. Many of the works we have read have discussed the wealth of that era and the expectations that were associated with it, but there was also this hidden poverty that was present at the time and is now beginning to be introduced in our readings (“Mrs. Manstey’s View”). Finally, even more details of the people I noticed were the ways they were dressed, which was proper. The women were expected to wear extravagant dresses, while the men strutted around in their top hats and long coats. I just think this also plays off of the gender roles of the time and how women were expected to be proper and stay home, while the men did the work in the bustling city - this also being related to the Old Maid by Edith Wharton.

Title A name given to the resource Women's Rights Convention-Harper's Weekly June 11, 1859 Description An account of the resource This image is from Harper's Weekly on June 11, 1859 and has a particular relationship to Henry James' <em>Washington Square</em>. It is of a women’s rights convention held in New York. In the image, a woman is asserting herself and her independence by advocating for women’s rights in front of other women and male supporters. However, men in the balcony are yelling at the woman, challenging her and other women by drowning them out in the hopes of maintaining female submissiveness. During this period, women were entering the public arena, asserting their rights and independence. In the midst of this atmosphere, Catherine strongly voiced her independent-mindedness by challenging her father and his negative opinion about her relationship with Morris. She showed a determination and assuredness in her own judgment about continuing the relationship. Catherine also worked with charitable organizations, hospitals, and aid societies which reflected women's increasing role in the public venue during the 1850s and onward. Many women were participating in reform movements during this era such a women's rights, antislavery activity, educational improvements, and temperance.

Title A name given to the resource The Spectacle of Downtown Broadway Description An account of the resource This illustrated essay shows different street views of New York in the 1850s--many taken from Harper's Weekly--including views of Broadway (which appears in Lydia Maria Child and George Foster's work). Friedman-Stadtler also discusses the import of these images in fascinating ways, which put all the images published during this time into an interesting context. For example, did you know that there were 40,000 horses in NYC at this time? They produced 400 tons of waste each day--making walking on the streets rather, uh, odiferous and probably quite unpleasant. The essay is part of a collection of essays published by the Bard Graduate Center as "Visualizing 19th-Century New York," which allows you to select areas on a map as well as to narrow your search by historical period and topic.

The Dime would post etiquette columns every so often informing men and women on correct etiquette. This is the cover of a guide book to correct etiquette in the 1850’s. The matters inside of this manual would help assist young people on proper etiquette and how to act in social settings. The contents of this manual would be seen in character such as Henry’s Catherine in Washington Square. Henry James portrays Catherine as a model of moral and proper behavior. Dr. Sloper expected Catherine to show the etiquette that was described throughout this manual. Catherine exhibited the etiquette and manners that were part of the culture during 19th century New York City.

Title A name given to the resource William Cullen Bryant Description An account of the resource One specific article in this specific issue of Harper’s Monthly is a detailed article about a poet, William Cullen Bryant and his work. William Bryant was a born in a beautiful part of Western MA and often wrote his poetry about the beautiful nature out in Massachusetts. This specific article and item are dedicated towards those who have read Bryant’s work on nature. Since there is not a lot of nature in New York City, the readers of Bryant’s work probably used his writing to feel connected to beauty that lies outside the city limits. His writings on nature are so masterful that, “No one can ever be tempted to accuse him of obtaining his knowledge of nature at second hand”. One item in the article that is very interesting is the photo of his current home on Long Island. The photo is supposed to be a black and white sketch, but in the magazine issue there is a shade of green and orange surrounding the house. The picture shows his house in Roslyn, New York, which is located right next to the city. Yet the photo has a very calming aspect to its appearance, there is not a lot of commotion that you would assume with New York City in the photo. The most commotion in the photo comes from the small group of people in front of the house. This item is very interesting in the aspect of how a writer on Long Island, who was born in Massachusetts, can write about the beauty of nature that somehow grasps New Yorkers into being infatuated with his work.

Title A name given to the resource Harper's Weekly "Telegraph Plateau" 28 Aug. 1858 Subject The topic of the resource Telegraph Plateau Description An account of the resource In the middle of the Harper’s Weekly issue of August 28th 1858 is an article titled The Telegraph Plateau. This article describes how the depth of the seabed, along the path that the Atlantic telegraph was laid, was measured and how the seabed’s composition was determined. This explanation is accompanied by several images. The first depicting the voyage of the ships that were involved in laying the cable and the last that depicts the depth along the path the cable was laid. The first of the two middle drawings simply shows a segment and a cross section of the cable, while the later of the middle images shows the device used to measure depth and to obtain seabed samples. (“Telegraph Plateau” 548) The audience for this item is likely anyone who would wonder about some of the specifics of how this engineering accomplishment of laying the cable was done. The language is simple and an attempt is made to make sure that the audience understands that some of the images are not to scale, indicating that it was for the mases who would not have any significant knowledge of science or the engineering of such an endeavor. The writer of the article is not marked though it can be assumed that they receive a more detailed description of the devices used and then simplified the language to the readers and provided images for further aid in comprehension. This item shows the attempt for New York in the 1850’s to obtain a reputation as an intellectual city, this can be inferred by the attempt to explain the inaccuracy of the images. (“Telegraph Plateau” 549) By explaining the inaccuracy they make sure the public does not take something in the wrong way and the possibility of spreading a misconception. This also serves and an example as to why one cannot believe everything they read or see in a paper, and being pointed out by the paper itself would make the example even more effective, helping the readers to become more intellectually critical and skeptical of what they read.

Title A name given to the resource "A New York Institution" July 24, 1858 Harper's Weekly Subject The topic of the resource News article Description An account of the resource The article, “A New York Institution,” reveals a man named Dawson and his unlawful practices, trapping women inside his home for his pleasure while being in a state of great wealth and hedonism. The audience that this article refers to is probably the public of New York, with the writer (unnamed) showing the raw and real New York in their view – as a setting of crime and of the “vilest characters” (“A New York Institution” 466). Seeing the use of the word “vilest” reminded me of the work by George Foster titled “New York by Gas-Light.” Not only was New York a new city with many neat innovations; it also had the same petty crimes and unusual characters like in other cities. In both Foster’s work and “A New York Constitution,” there is a depiction of people who possess a more depraved sense of morals and show that in what they practice, such as prostitutes and sex slave holders. The character being described in the Harper’s Weekly article would be similar to Foster focusing on one drunk man or prostitute throughout “Gas-Light” rather than providing an entire landscape of New York late at night. The author of the article does this succinctly, knowing that the purpose of the magazine is for entertainment and leisure time, but also wanting to get their point across that a “vile” man has been arrested once again in New York City. The author could be saying that on the outside, New York City is desirable and has many opportunities for wealth, but behind closed doors, there are people that are depraved and void all morals, which could also be compared to Foster as well. Overall, the article is an exemplary piece of work that tells of the local news during the time and shows how authors are able to pull their views into it as a reflection of their feelings.

Title A name given to the resource "The Telegraph Plateau" Harper's Weekly, August 1858 Subject The topic of the resource The Advance of Global Communication in the 1850s Description An account of the resource “The Telegraph Plateau” by an unnamed Harper’s Weekly staff member presented a detailed description of the laying of the transatlantic telegraph cable. James, John, Joseph, and Fletcher Harper were apprenticed at an early age to New York printers and were responsible for their assigned departments. However, Joseph Wesley as chief editor and critic, possibly assigned this story. It focused on the procedure with images of the cable, Brooke’s Deep Sea Sounding Instrument, ships laying the cable in the Atlantic Plateau, the ship, Agamemnon’s, dramatic effort to lay the cable during a storm, and New York’s fireworks celebration of the momentous event. The article had New York, national, and international appeal because of the implications for the expansion of global communication during the 1850s. It also reflected the outwardly-looking nature of some New Yorkers, like the Slopers in Washington Square, who found it normal to travel abroad. The article combined a layman’s explanation of the information through specific and plain diction and more scientific and technical information about the process for the more scientific-minded audience. According to the author, “in the ocean depths there is an absolute absence of current or motion of any kind—so the wire . . . is in no danger of its destruction by abrasion or chafe against the bottom surface” (“Telegraph” 548). Lieutenant Berryman of the U.S. steamer, Artic, obtained soundings, confirming that the soft mud bed contained “myriads upon myriads of minute shells, each separate and entire” (“Telegraph” 548), proving the lack of any destructive current. This plain diction in layman’s terminology was directed at the general audience. A highly technical and scientific description of how Brooke’s Deep Sea Instrument worked was presented, using technical, precise, and specific diction to explain the sounding procedure which would appeal to mainly a scientific-minded audience. For example, “the staff armed . . . where there is a small cavity . . . with soap or tallow, to which armature a sample of the bottom clings” (“Telegraph” 548). In an appeal to the wider general audience, vibrant imagery with dramatic and exciting diction concluded the article with the ship, Agamemnon, battling “a terrible storm” (“Telegraph” 549) while laying a cable. As the wind “continued to blow hard, with frequent violent squalls, the sea running tremendously high . . . no one expected the cable to hold” (“Telegraph” 549-550), but the weather improved and the cable was successfully laid.

Title A name given to the resource The Lay of the Cable Description An account of the resource I chose to analyze an illustration in a series of pictures paired with a poem. This poem had a span of two pages and was titled “The Lay of the Cable”(Campbell 744). The poem talks about the “inlays and outlays; the relays and delays”(Campbell 744) of the Atlantic Cable. I found this particularly interesting because the author took a current problem and turned it into a comedic poem. This topic was also talked about in earlier portions of the magazine in a more factual manner. The Transatlantic Cable was proved successful in August of 1858 after many attempts, finally creating a way of communication between the US and Britain. The first message successfully sent was ‘Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, goodwill to men.’ (The Institute) This technological advance was of great importance to those in the US, so it was a disappointment when high voltage levels lead to its demise. Each illustration is an object pertaining to the reaction and celebration of this cable before its failure. The last image, the one in which I decided to further analyze, is one representing the end of the “mighty cable”(Campbell 745). The illustration is paired with the lines “This is the figure now cut by the nation. On account of that wonderful celebration; “Sic transit”-you know the quotation- and the end of the mighty cable”(Campbell 745). The illustration presents a man with a distressed and stupefied facial expression. The man’s appearance portrays the overwhelming emotion of defeat and failure, something shared among those who had hope in such an accomplishment. In the first stanza of the poem underneath the photo, the word “figure” is italicized. This term is being used to emphasize what a role this cable took in society. The cable or figure is a symbol of success, which is said to be cut by the nation. The cutting of this figure suggests failure and loss of hope. “Sic transit”, the quotation in which the reader is expected to know, translates as "Thus passes the glory of the world." in Latin. The feeling of accomplishment once the cable successfully connected two continents (the glory of the world) has passed once it reached its demise. This quotation also relates to the first message sent through the cable, being that they both use the word “glory” and have religious basis. The two quotes seem to contrast each other. I believe the use of the word “mighty” when describing the cable is sarcasm since the cable proved to be quite the opposite. This use of irony and sarcasm is similar to that of Henry George in “Washington Square”. This two-page spread shows that they made light of a rather disappointing situation. The author took a rather factual current event and made it in to a comical literary piece. This suggests that literature in every aspect of life played a major role in New York during the 1850’s.

Title A name given to the resource Mr. Longworth's Vineyard Description An account of the resource This image is depicted in Mr. Longworth’s Vineyard, near Cincinnati, where men and woman are working. The audience for this specific image is the working class and people consume/are interested in wine. This could be for a wide age range, approximately age 20-60. The image goes along with an article titled, “NICHOLAS LONGWORTH, ESQ., OF CINCINATTI, AND THE VINEYARDS OF OHIO.” I can ascertain about the creator that he had an interest in Mr. Longworth’s life and his wine vineyard. The image and the article do not contain a photographer or author’s name. What makes this item interesting is the scenery that is surrounding the image and the workers depicted in it. You can see within in the image that men and women are both working in the field. The women are wearing long dresses and the men long pants and long sleeved shirts. Even though it may have been very hot during this time, it was proper etiquette to be fully dressed. It is interesting to me that women are working in the vineyard during this time period right alongside men. The first woman’s suffrage movement was in 1848, but woman struggled for the next 50 years in order to be allowed in the workforce. In the background of the image you can see a steamboat coming in. This is right down the hill from the vineyard, which allows for easy exports of Mr. Longworth’s wine. Most exports/imports during this time period travelled by boat. The workers are all using hand tools and carrying everything themselves or in baskets, there is no trucks, tractors or wheel-barrows that they can put things into. The woman at the bottom of the image is walking down stairs with a barrel attached to her back. This shows how there was no other way of getting around the vineyard except by walking. This all shows how people and workers were much more self sufficient in the 1850’s because they didn’t have any other choice of alternate transportation or technology. This idea is true for New York and all around America.

Title A name given to the resource Brandreth’s Pill's Ad, <em>Harper's Weekly</em>, 1858 Description An account of the resource The item chosen is an advertisement from Harpery’s Weekly that presents a new medication called “Brandreth’s Pill”. The advertisement claims that the pill prevents and protects an individual from getting Yellow Fever. It includes the specific symptoms one should be aware of in order to take Brandreth’s Pill. Examples of symptoms are delirium and dizziness. The audience for the advertisement is anyone who was either demonstrated these symptoms or is living with someone with Yellow Fever. I can ascertain that the creator of the pill, Benjamin Brandrteth, firmly believed that Yellow Fever was caused by “impure blood”. This is clear when he says “the very cause of these difficulties will be speedily expelled from the bowels and circulation”. That is to say that the Brandreth’s Pill was invented in order to cleanse the blood and not let Yellow Fever develop. The advertisement depicts a negative view of New York of the 1850’s, much like Foster did. New York City is described as a place that was suffering from disease and illness. At the time, there was an extreme increase in immigration and therefore the growth of major cities, like New York City. The health system was heavily affected and in particular there were outbreaks of Yellow Fever in New York during 1855 and 1856. One quote that stood out to me was the following, “another and yet another paroxysm may occur”. The author of this advertisement emphasizes that a sudden outburst of emotion may occur not only one time but multiple times. He is underlining the fact that one should not be worried if multiple expressions of emotions occur after taking the pill. This is interesting to me because even though it was over 100 years ago, the advertisement still provides side effects that come along with taking Brandreth’s Pill.
