Title A name given to the resource The Workers of the World Description An account of the resource Magazine illustration dates to a period when women’s suffrage and socialism were commingling in productive new ways. Here, a recurring column on labor issues makes a point to have both men and women in an Atlas-like pose of bearing the burden of modern industrial America. At the time of this illustration Braverman’s job title was “Associate Editor and Circulation Manager” for The Progressive Woman in Chicago; he also produced much of the magazine’s art. It was founded as The Socialist Woman in 1907 by Josephine Conger-Kaneko and in 1913 would become The Coming Nation before folding in 1914. After passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, and as socialist unity fragmented under the duress of Palmer Raids and systematic anti-red legislation, Braverman became disillusioned and moved into poster art and advertising. By the 1920s he worked for the Curtis Company agency in Detroit, MI and then the Hamman group in Oakland, CA. He played a central role in smuggling copies of James Joyce’s banned novel Ulysses into America in 1922. Later Braverman created works for the Federal Art Project, including a work held by the New Deal Gallery at Mt. Morris: “Down and Out” (1937). He had a great interest in films, during the 1940s working upon an authorized biography of the director D.W. Griffith that never was published. He lived the last years of his life in St. Paul, MN.

Title A name given to the resource USS DeKalb Description An account of the resource Launched in 1904 as the Prinz Eitel Friedrich for a German cruise line, ship eventually was impounded by the U.S. during World War I, refitted as a troop transport ship, and re-launched as the DeKalb in 1917. After Armistice it was operated by an American cruise line between 1920-25 before getting scrapped in 1934. The photograph is of interest because it has been painted using the artist William A. Mackay's <a href="https://openvalley.org/items/show/924">"disruptive coloration" camouflage scheme.</a> It is shown here in the Philadelphia Navy Yard. New Deal Gallery artist Thomas Casilear Cole was one of Mackay's pupils and assigned to the US Navy's Bureau of Construction and Repair during 1918. Such measures were critical due to German submarine attacks, for example a June 1918 convoy that included the DeKalb.

Title A name given to the resource Disruptive Coloration Camouflage Description An account of the resource One of the earliest proponents of adapting land-based camouflage to military naval craft was William A. Mackay, whose "disruptive coloration" or "low visibility dazzle" system is pictured here. Later it was used to re-paint the troop transport <a href="https://openvalley.org/items/show/923">US DeKalb</a> during the last year of World War I. Mackay was an artist who beginning in 1912 used his knowledge of optics and color to improve upon the standard method of painting warships gray—an important consideration given the success of German submarines. His theory was a modified pointillism that created gray through patterned application of red, green, and violet; unlike gray paint it would be perceived by human eyes in relation to differering "warm" or "cool" light conditions as a more adaptible gray. He incorporated elements of British "dazzle" patterns to eliminate sharp corners for the purposes of sighting. Even prior to the outbreak of the Great War Mackay created a camofleurs' school that inclulded the painter Thomas Casilear Cole, who eventually was assigned to the US Navy's Bureau of Construction and Repair during 1918.

Title A name given to the resource New York: The Empire State Description An account of the resource Advertising map created by the Mentholatum Company promises the "romantic epochs of of New York history paraded before us in picturesque array." Although its text narrative and dates address the state's history, there also are many features of the tourist or "romance" map genre: figures in stylized period costume; winter activities in the Adirondacks; the Empire State Building located wherever it will fit; several sites of business and industry, including a Mentholatum factory located in Buffalo, NY. The map also is interesting for its division of the state into four cultural "influences" indicated by color: French, English, Dutch, and Neutral. The Adirondack Mountains resemble a leaf in fall color.

Title A name given to the resource Topographical Map of the City of New York Description An account of the resource At the time this map was created in 1865, the Commissioners' Plan of 1811 already had conceptualized Manhattan's grid above Houston Street and below 155th. But the city was far from filled in, and some of the island's original watercourses still were visible even as sewer lines were being laid. Viele's map shows both, and also divides the types of land as Marsh (dark green), Made Land (orange), and Meadow (light green). This item consists of files in two sizes: a faster-loading one for display purposes, and a larger file for detailed examination.

Title A name given to the resource United States of America map Description An account of the resource This item consists of three files from an teaching atlas from England created by Rev. Edward Patteson. The first is a map of the United States, apparently not yet reflecting the Louisiana Purchase. The second is what Patteson terms a "Blank Duplicate" of the first map, which he argues will be found "very convenient...as giving a much clearer view of the number and situation of the Towns, Rivers, &c. than a Map crowded with names." Patteson's pedagogy seems to have entailed students recognizing political boundaries at least in terms of latitudes and natural features, like rivers and mountain ranges. The third image is a merged document enacting Patteson's design to have the Blank Duplicate "placed opposite to the written Map."

Title A name given to the resource Charlotte on Lake Ontario, the Coney Island of Central New York Description An account of the resource Postcard from a birds-eye view shows the lakeside amusement park near the height of its popularity. The green-roofed building near center likely is the Hotel Ontario, a connection between the area's past as a resort during the 1870s-80s, and its increasing emphasis upon larger crowds of day visitors by the 1890s. (The railroad at left was an important factor.) The amusement park featured a midway, roller coasters, a slide that went into Lake Ontario, a sandy beach, and not least other people to watch. In 1916 the City of Rochester annexed Charlotte and purchased the amusement park two years later. After a fire in 1919 it was torn down, and it's possible the conflagration at upper right references this event, in which case the postcard's original artwork was modified. All that's left of the amusement park is its Dentzel carousel, which remains in operation a century later.

Title A name given to the resource Along the Beach at Charlotte, NY Description An account of the resource Postcard depicts Lake Ontario Shore looking east toward the mouth of the Genesee River. At left is a sailboat moored at the West Pier; the red-roofed building at upper center may be a resort hotel called the Spencer House. Along the boardwalk and beach we see visitors of all kinds, including a dog. From its beginnings as a resort during the 1870s-80s, Charlotte hosted ever-larger numbers of visitors via train and by 1900 was primarily an amusement park often compared to Coney Island. After annexation of Charlotte in 1916, the resort eventually was torn down due to longstanding concerns about "immoral" behavior--coded language for its numerous saloons. Today the area is known as Ontario Beach Park. Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Souvenir Post Card Co.
