                <text>Carl Moore was the "crew leader" for Roy Gibson's farm near Wayland, NY. What this title meant is that he served as an intermediary between farmer and migrant farmworkers: he recruited them (from Florida) and bused them up to New York; their wages from Gibson passed through Moore. Most crew leaders were notorious for exploiting workers by overcharging them for groceries and liquor; often, they deployed a couple of enforcers to maintain their power. Moore had a reputation as an unusually fair crew leader. In a 1981 article, Donna Balanger, Director of the Wayland Migrant Day Care Center, was quoted as saying that "The camp is more tightly run and the crew boss is fair with his people. What they earn, they get" (Peg Gallagher, "Migrant Workers," &lt;em&gt;Elmira&lt;/em&gt; Star-Gazette 25 Oct. 1981: 5B).</text>

                <text>These four images come from a book of 33 views featuring the Thousand Islands, located in the St. Lawrence River as it exits Lake Ontario. Some of the photographs are focused on natural features, but a majority admire larger-than-life "castles" built on individual islands. During the 1880s-90s, wealthy families of the Gilded Age seemed determined to outdo each other in constructing opulent vacation homes that soon were dubbed "Millionaire's Row." &#13;
&#13;
The ones included here are as follow: 1. Dark Island Castle, built for Frederick Gilbert Bourne, president of the Singer Manufacturing Company; 2. Castle Rest, built for George M. Pullman, manufacturer of the eponymous railway cars; 3. Boldt Castle, built for George Boldt, general manager of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel; 4. Thousand Island House, an exclusive hotel whose guests included Andrew Carnegie, Henry Cabot Lodge, and Mark Twain.</text>

                  <text>This collection gathers documents for a Perry Knitting Co. exhibit on OpenValley. They are drawn from from three main sources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, the Clark Rice Photography Collection at the Perry, NY Public Library. Rice was a prolific photographer in Western New York throughout the mid-20th century. This collection includes scans of his work, and copies of images from the turn of the century photographer Merrium Crocker, whose studio Rice purchased. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, the Henry Page Local History Files. Page was president of First National Bank of Perry, and a local historian associated with the public library for nearly five decades. His uncle, William, had helped secure funding from the Carnegie Corporation for its establishment in 1900 and construction in 1914. The Page collection contains various historical materials and photographs accumulated by him over the years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thirdly, we draw upon various public domain texts, such as maps from the Library of Congress or &lt;a href="http://perrypubliclibrary.advantage-preservation.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;digitized articles from local newspapers&lt;/a&gt;. All images here are selections from these collections, chosen for their relevance to OpenValley project. We gratefully acknowledge the generosity of the Perry Public Library and its Director, Jessica Pacciotti.</text>

                  <text>This collection gathers documents for a Perry Knitting Co. exhibit on OpenValley. They are drawn from from three main sources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, the Clark Rice Photography Collection at the Perry, NY Public Library. Rice was a prolific photographer in Western New York throughout the mid-20th century. This collection includes scans of his work, and copies of images from the turn of the century photographer Merrium Crocker, whose studio Rice purchased. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, the Henry Page Local History Files. Page was president of First National Bank of Perry, and a local historian associated with the public library for nearly five decades. His uncle, William, had helped secure funding from the Carnegie Corporation for its establishment in 1900 and construction in 1914. The Page collection contains various historical materials and photographs accumulated by him over the years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thirdly, we draw upon various public domain texts, such as maps from the Library of Congress or &lt;a href="http://perrypubliclibrary.advantage-preservation.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;digitized articles from local newspapers&lt;/a&gt;. All images here are selections from these collections, chosen for their relevance to OpenValley project. We gratefully acknowledge the generosity of the Perry Public Library and its Director, Jessica Pacciotti.</text>

                <text>Motoichi "Roy" Kadowaki was a Japanese-American artist; four of his paintings are at the New Deal Gallery, Mt. Morris. What we know of him is that his vocation always had to be supported by a variety of service jobs deemed appropriate for Japanese in the early 20th century: cook, waiter, servant. Aside from his extant paintings there are glimpses of a creative, even whimsical vision. This drawing dates to 1926, when Kadowaki filed a patent for "Lighting Apparatus" using a presumably translucent celluloid cockatoo.&#13;
&#13;
The description for Patent Application #1,616,579 reads: "In lighting apparatus, the combination of an electric lamp socket support and a lamp enclosing member consisting of a hollow translucent celluloid body of elongated form having a slit adjacent to one end and a hole communicating with said slit for engaging said socket support, and a weight positioned inside one end of said body."</text>

                  <text>This collection of more than 200 paintings owes its existence to two primary causes: allocations from the Federal Art Project to a New York state tuberculosis sanatorium located at Mt. Morris--the landscapes and still lifes were thought to be restful--and to the committed volunteers who helped preserve the paintings after the hospital closed. For several decades the canvases were stored in non-climate-controlled basements; it appears that doctors and staff removed at least three dozen works as "keepsakes." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the seeming tranquility of the paintings, they were created by artists primarily from New York City whose background was more political and aesthetically adventurous than this rural location would indicate. &lt;a href="https://openvalley.org/exhibits/show/green-new-deal/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Follow this hyperlink to a short introduction to the New Deal Gallery collection&lt;/a&gt;. We're grateful to the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts for access to their collection, which has been re-photographed and appears here at two resolutions: a cropped, web-friendly file size of around 1 MB; and a high-resolution file including the painting's frame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Items in this collection were created according to a consistent format: a short description of each painting in formal terms, followed by a biography of each artist. Where possible we have supplied hyperlinks relevant to their lives and to other examples of their art.

                <text>&lt;p&gt;Three men are working in the yard of a cement and tar factory, located alongside a river; they lean into their work of moving large drums. There are small smokestacks on the building and tugs hauling barges in the background. Wilson uses asymmetrical lines, oriented in different directions, to shape the composition—including rooflines, roadways, river banks, lines of barrels, and even stacked pallets. The factory building is radically compressed into geometric shapes. Considering its industrial subject matter, the painting’s earth tones and splashes of pastel colors are visually pleasing and harmonize with the river and buildings on the opposite shore. The distinctively shaped bridge suggests that it might be one located at Hell’s Gate, in which case there is an intriguing historical possibility: at this time, WPA funds were constructing &lt;a href="https://openvalley.org/items/show/2175"&gt;a massive swimming complex at Astoria Park&lt;/a&gt; that required a lot of concrete. Juxtaposing that job site and Wilson’s painting clarifies the choices he made to idealize the worth of public works and a return of employment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt;: records indicate that this painting was allocated to "Sen. Buckley." This may have been &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_L._Buckley" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;John L. Buckley&lt;/a&gt;, who represented NY State Senate District 15 between 1927 and 1942.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>This collection of more than 200 paintings owes its existence to two primary causes: allocations from the Federal Art Project to a New York state tuberculosis sanatorium located at Mt. Morris--the landscapes and still lifes were thought to be restful--and to the committed volunteers who helped preserve the paintings after the hospital closed. For several decades the canvases were stored in non-climate-controlled basements; it appears that doctors and staff removed at least three dozen works as "keepsakes." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the seeming tranquility of the paintings, they were created by artists primarily from New York City whose background was more political and aesthetically adventurous than this rural location would indicate. &lt;a href="https://openvalley.org/exhibits/show/green-new-deal/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Follow this hyperlink to a short introduction to the New Deal Gallery collection&lt;/a&gt;. We're grateful to the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts for access to their collection, which has been re-photographed and appears here at two resolutions: a cropped, web-friendly file size of around 1 MB; and a high-resolution file including the painting's frame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Items in this collection were created according to a consistent format: a short description of each painting in formal terms, followed by a biography of each artist. Where possible we have supplied hyperlinks relevant to their lives and to other examples of their art.

                <text>The painting captures NYC’s Central Park on a shadowy afternoon. Cool purples, blues, and greens make up the majority of the image. Trees, bushes, and greenery blend into buildings and cares that make up the city skyline in the background, producing a sense of fluidity. In the foreground, a bridge with coursing river underneath divides the painting. Behind the bridge, the perspective appears to be flattened, almost as if to create dissonance. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;About the Artist&lt;/span&gt;: Born in Duluth, MN, where his father worked as a train dispatcher for the railroad, Spurbeck studied at the Minneapolis School of Art and later at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1935 he relocated to New York, producing work in oils, water colors, and portrait sketches. It is possible that Spurbeck may have spent some time at the University of Rochester before eventually relocating to Maryland. In 1940 he took a position as director of the illustration division at the Johns Hopkins University, working both an artist and &lt;a href="https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/5db4/596005924d5b8a51b9b1d90f333926f43c54.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;photographer&lt;/a&gt; for the biology department, contributing medical illustrations of equipment and specimens. Spurbeck’s wife, Mary (&lt;em&gt;née&lt;/em&gt; Rawles), worked as a staff member for the &lt;a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/aja.1000970104" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;embryology department&lt;/a&gt; of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, which was also located on the Johns Hopkins campus. The couple retired together in 1966 to Emporia, VA, Mary’s hometown, where he continued to paint, draw, and sculpt.</text>
