  • An Artistic Milestone for a Sport and a City
    TRACK INSIDE REDISCOVERED: An Artistic Milestone forxcitement a among Sport scholars and a City and connoisseurs is grow- ing over what may well be the frst American art- work depicting a rowing regatta. This is not just an attractive picture, but also emblematic of a tradition distinctive to the city of Philadelphia, where the country’s frst private clubs for rowing and rac- ing boats propelled by oars were established in the early 1830s. The site of this artwork’s rediscovery is Ethe Undine Barge Club, an amateur (though very dedicated) rowing club on the Schuylkill River headquartered in a magnifcent 1882 boathouse designed by the great local architect Frank Furness. Now one of a dozen such clubs lining Boathouse Row, the Undine was founded in 1856 for “healthful exercise, relaxation from business ... and pleasure.” The lead players in the rediscovery are the painter Joseph Sweeney (b. 1950), who is artist-in-residence at the club, and James H. Hill, a longtime Undinian. Sweeney has long encouraged its members to conserve some of the historic artworks hang- ing on the walls of their house; needless to say, its essential proximity to the river brings with it signifcant humidity issues. Firmly identifed artworks have been receiving expert conserva- tion treatment, but the particular picture under approached by Dr. Lily Milroy of the Philadelphia consideration here — an easel-sized gouache Museum of Art, who was writing a book about NICOLINO VICOMPTE CALYO (1799 –1884), First on paper — does not have a signature or label, the history of the Schuylkill River. She thought Schuylkill Regatta, c.

  • Louis Leslie Thesis Without Copyright Images
    ‘Writing Consciously for a Small Audience’: An Exploration of the Relationship between American Magazine Culture and Henry James’ Italian Fiction 1870-1875 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Louis Laurence Leslie ! UCL ! ! PhD P2 ! ! I, Louis Laurence Leslie, conSirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been deriVed from other sources, I can conSirm that this has !been indicated in the thesis. P3 ! Thesis Abstract ! This thesis explores Henry James’ engagement in his relatiVely neglected early Siction about Italy with material from contemporary magazine culture. By bridging the gap between critics who focus on James’ relationship with Italian culture, and those who examine James’ relationship with his publishers and audience, it aims to explore how he uses interest in Italy manifested in literary magazines to deVelop his writing and build his reputation. The Sirst part of the thesis explores how James writes about Italian culture in his Sirst tales in ways with which his audience would be familiar, in order to cultiVate his readership. The Sirst three chapters deal with ‘TraVelling Companions’ (1870), ‘At Isella’ (1871), and ‘The Madonna of the Future’ (1873) respectiVely. Looking at how magazines represent contemporary debates about the Italian artists and works of art that James depicts, I study the way James draws on this context to !emphasise the relationship between culture and character in his Siction. The second half examines his Siction after 1873 in the light of James’ sense of his emerging literary reputation. Aware of his growing fame, James began to write tales incorporating material from his own serialised traVel writing, thus reinforcing his reputation as a writer about Italy.

  • Control and Competition: the Architecture of Boathouse Row
    Control and Competition: The Architecture of Boathouse Row WENTY-FIRST-CENTURY PHILADELPHIANS know Boathouse Row as the idiosyncratic collection of boathouses that dot the shoreline Tof the Schuylkill River (fig. 1). But the unique architectural character and definition of the row is no accident of history; rather, it is the result of one of the earliest attempts to exert municipal control over private structures, initiated in response to a confluence of cultural and his- toric trends sweeping through Philadelphia and parts of America in the late nineteenth century. This paper investigates how the architecture of Boathouse Row developed in three distinct phases: first, under city ordi- nances influenced by prominent individuals who oversaw the founding and growth of Fairmount Park; then, as an aesthetic competition developed between the boat clubs within the constraints determined by the city; and finally as municipal control over the design of the boathouses declined as the Fairmount Park Commission shifted its attention elsewhere and as prominent architects took the stage and a rise of architectural eclecticism led to a profusion of new styles. The boathouses are located in Fairmount Park, founded in 1855. Though the city had acquired the land in 1844, it did not begin to exert municipal control over the site with its first ordinances until 1860. With the establishment of the Fairmount Park Commission in 1867, figures such as Frederic Graff Jr., chief engineer of the Fairmount Waterworks, and Hermann Schwarzmann, a park engineer and later designer of the This paper began as an independent study project during my masters program in art history at Williams College.
