                  <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>The livelihoods of Western New York farmers were tied to commodity prices on the world markets, particularly those in London, and so &lt;em&gt;The Genesee Farmer&lt;/em&gt; often devoted space to trends. Factors like global weather, crop failures, and emerging producers (like those in the American West) all were sources of anxiety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disruptions caused by the Civil War were a new cause for concern: not only was the supply of farm labor greatly impacted, but relatively longstanding assumptions couldn't be taken for granted. For example, New York corn had been shipped south to feed hogs, but that had come to an end. A surplus of commodities like wheat had allowed for export, rather than strictlly "home consumption," but that now longer was clear either. The chart here was created to show "the price of some of our leading agricultural products in New York at this seasop, for the last seven years." We see fluctuating prices that suggest why information in agricultural newspapers was valued in this era.</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.

                <text>It's fall, and a farmer is seen returning a wagonload of hay, presumably cut and dried in his fields. Fidaroff composes his scene so as to obscure what may be a gas-powered tractor (since we don't see a team of horses ahead of the farmer). A warm shagginess is repeated throughout the painting--tree leaves, grass, the load of hay--using impressionist brushstrokes. In the distance, the cool gray skyline of a mountain points toward winter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;About the Artist&lt;/span&gt;: We haven’t located much reliable information about this artist. Born in Vladikavkaz, Russia, Fidaroff emigrated to Vancouver in 1913 and then the US in 1915—where he became a citizen in 1939. He was an art student in Los Angeles, CA as of 1917. His painting “In the Country” was exhibited at a 1937 Federal Art Project show. 2 works at &lt;a href="http://bennington.pastperfectonline.com/byperson?keyword=Fidaroff%2C+Simon"&gt;Bennington Museum&lt;/a&gt;. 2 more images at &lt;a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/federal-art-project-photographic-division-collection-5467/series-1/box-7-folder-13"&gt;FAP&lt;/a&gt;.</text>

                <text>Two adjacent types of painting—still life and domestic “genre”—blur in this creatively arranged scene. At right, staples of the still life tradition like fruits, flowers, and drapery are displayed on a table. Yet there also is a child’s toy, and it seems the backdrop might be a blanket of some sort, trailing leftward to a radiator in the background. The domesticity and likely children implied by the toy is indicated by a sofa at left and wallpaper peeking out from behind the blanket; it’s an effective rendering of a woman artist working with her materials at hand.&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About the Artist&lt;/span&gt;: We haven’t located much reliable information about this artist. Palter graduated from Girls Commercial High School, Brooklyn, in 1929. Her paintings were exhibited in a 1938 FAP show in Flushing, NY along with NDG artist Henry Kallem. She married the abstract painter &lt;a href="https://americanart.si.edu/artist/albert-swinden-4724" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Albert Swinden&lt;/a&gt;—also a &lt;a href="https://livingnewdeal.org/artists/albert-swinden/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Federal Art Project artist&lt;/a&gt;—and their daughter Alice Swinden Carter went on to become a sculptor in her own right. 2 more images at &lt;a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/federal-art-project-photographic-division-collection-5467/series-1/box-17-folder-44" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;FAP&lt;/a&gt;.</text>

                <text>Circular disc is divided into four quadrants that offer glimpses into the lives of the Ruiz Pita family. Starting at the upper right and going counter-clockwise, we learn 1) that they work in cabbage fields; 2) that they are Mexican; 3) that the immediate family consists of parents Texey and Mariano and children Luis, Mariana, and Pedro; and 4) that this art work gives thanks to God for "one day more." It is among the most explicitly autobiographical of the CAMPS mandalas.</text>

                <text>From the popular printmakers of the 19th century--an estimated 2-3 new works per week--comes this characteristic lithograph of rural life. Its composition is striking for the angled view into a farm's domestic spaces, so viewers see what is "behind" both a farmer (his fields, field hands, equipment) and his wife (a hearth, furnishings, domestic servant). The two of them, along with a daughter, meet in the foreground for a tableau of well-ordered agricultural and domestic economies. Some of the tortured compositions entail the inclusion of hired labor crammed into the frame, yet relegated to the background. &#13;

                <text>Two drawings envision " a design and plans for a farm-house of the rural gothic style, with conveniences for an estate of considerable size." This would have placed the renderings toward the beginning of that style's popularity, which also was called "carpenter's gothic" for the relatively free on-site improvisations using gothic elements. For example, while the architect acknowledges preferring "stone or brick for the construction of such buildings, yet as there seems to be such a prejudice in favor of wood...we have designed the above to be built of that material."&#13;
&#13;
The home's design shows a first floor of quite opulent dimensions; however, it is of potential interest due to its mention of a second floor that "contains seven good-sized bed-rooms, with their necessary closets. Those in the L being entirely distinct from the main body, and reached by a different flight of stairs, may be used for servants and hired men." Given the construction estimates for "the neighborhood of Boston," though, it seems doubtful whether many such estates were built on working farms.</text>
