REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FOR THE YEAR 1934

NEW YORK, JANUARY 8, 1935. The Executive Committee, in accordance with the by-laws, presents herewith its annual report. In the year 1934 the full force of the loss of income from investments was felt by the Society. Until April, 1933, the guaranteed mortgages and mortgage certificates paid their full interest. In that month the Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York took control of the mortgage companies with which the Society had invested part of its endowment funds, and no further interest was permitted to be paid under the guarantee. Whatever the properties earned after payment of tax arrears and operating expenses was proportionately paid to holders of the certificated mortgages. In many issues the arrears were so great that it has taken the entire income of the properties to pay the taxes and operating costs, leaving nothing for distribution to the certificate holders. The task of re­ habilitating the bankrupt mortgage companies is a huge one, and it has taken the whole year to bring some order out of the chaos resulting from their failure. As this report is being written, however, the outlook is much brighter than it was ten months ago. Rentals have greatly improved with a conse­ quent increase in the income from properties so that interest is again being received from some investments, although in most cases at reduced rates. Every economy consistent with keeping up the service which the Society renders the public has been exercised, and while it has been necessary' to draw somewhat upon reserve funds to meet expenses, the Society remains in the fortunate position of being able to carry on without incurring indebtedness. It is regrettable that we must practice strict economy at a time when so much could be accomplished at less> cost than formerly. However, the Society was the recipient of many objects during the past year for the art gallery, museum, and library. To these donors and friends the Executive Committee extends its thanks and appreciation. Many of the gifts were acknowledged in the Quarterly Bulletin, and will not, therefore, be mentioned 9 10 THE NEW YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY in this report except to, include them.in the totals given else­ : where. 'w ~, During the year the collections in annex building No. 1 at 5 West 76th Street were rearranged, and the main floor is now used for the exhibition of the Society's early American house­ hold articles, which form one of the unique exhibits to be seen in the City of New York. This building, as well as annex No. 2 at 4 West 77th Street, is open to the public at least one afternoon each week and also by appointment at other times on week days. Our three buildings are crowded with museum objects after a hundred and thirty years of extensive collecting. The gal­ lery of art and the library are very uncomfortably housed and difficult of exhibition befitting their importance and great value, both historically and intrinsically. An opportunity is offered to some patron of old New York to do a great public service by making it possible, through enlarging our building and increasing the staff, to reveal the wealth of history that lies within the crowded rooms and stacks of the Society. Since so much depends upon the preservation of the records of the past, we cannot emphasize too strongly the need for support. A varied program of lectures, given during the year, at­ tracted interested audiences. Included were observances of the centenaries of the death of Lafayette and of the freedom of the press in America. On these occasions we were honored by guest speakers, Dr. William Mather Lewis, President of Lafay-, ette College, and Dr. John H. Finley, Associate Editor of The New York Times. The attendance for the year was less than that of 1933 when it reached its highest point in years past.

GALLERY OF ART To the gallery of art were added seven oil portraits and eight miniatures, as follows: Two colonial portraits of members of a distinguished New York family, Adriaan Bancker (1724-1792) and Anna Boelen ( -1790), his wife, great-great-grandparents of Dr. George S. De Groot of Mendham, N. J., from whose estate the por­ traits came by bequest. Portrait of Francis Robert Schell (1815-1900) painted when REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 1 1

Museum and Gallery, 4 West jyth Street In Annex No. 2 at 4 West 77th Street, the Lockman gallery of distinguished contemporary Americans, painted for the Society, was placed on view. Seventy-seven pieces of blue Staffordshire pottery with views of old New York, 1821-1835, belonging to Mr. R. T. H. Hal­ sey, were put on exhibition in this annex. A collection of water color views of old New York buildings, painted by the late Victor Wilbour and owned by the Cooper Institute and the Society was also placed on exhibition. 12 THE NEW YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY '

The oil paintings of Hudson River steamboats, chiefly by James Bard, remained on view in the corridor of this Annex.

Additions to the Museum A total of 453 objects was added to the-museum in 1934. The collection of household utensils was removed from the main building to the annex at 5 West 76th Street. It was in­ creased considerably by the gifts of Mrs. Irving McKesson of objects which came from the home of her ancestor, the Rev. Samuel Jones, D.D. (1737-1811) at Pennypack, near Phila­ delphia, Pa. We received several donations of military uniforms covering the period 1848-1890, thereby adding to our collection, most of which is not on exhibition due to lack of cases. Two display forms were made to order for our early costumes, and the work of installing them has progressed slowly as we do not have the staff to attend to the museum with any regularity. The New York Caledonian Club recently vacated its build­ ing at 846 Seventh Avenue and passed on to the Society a large handsome case containing a collection of relics per­ taining to the 77th Highland Regiment of Civil War fame. It included flags, busts, swords, uniforms, a pistol, books and pictures. The latter are more specifically described in the report of the Librarian. The basement of our main building is now devoted, as planned and recordedv in our report for last year, to the showing of our large collection of volunteer firemen relics, including three hand pump engines, models, prints, badges, helmets, belts, trumpets, etc. In this section of the building may also be seen five sleighs used in New York during the period of the Dutch, and one used as late as 1800-1870.

SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS During the year special exhibitions were arranged from time to time, particularly whenever possible to extra-illustrate our monthly lectures. Mr. Erskine Hewitt, Domestic Corresponding Secretary of the Society, placed on exhibition his own collection of Ameri­ can miniature portraits numbering more than one hundred. REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 13

It is of much historical importance both as to subjects and artists. Other special exhibitions were the following: Memorabilia of General Lafayette in commemoration of the centenary of his death, 1834-1934. Summer resorts of old New Yorkers. The Halsey collection of blue Staffordshire pottery. American powder horns and drawings of horns. Memorabilia of John Peter Zenger.

PUBLICATIONS A volume of Collections for 1934 from the John Watts de Peyster Publication Fund is now in preparation and will, we hope, be issued in 1935. A pamphlet containing the proceed­ ings of the presentation to Mr. De Witt M. Lockman of the Society's gold medal, on November 20, 1933, was issued with the address of Mr. Leon Dabo on that occasion. The annual report for 1933 and four issues of the Quarterly Bulletin were published, and a limited edition of two hundred sets bound and sent to members who requested copies. Feature articles in the Bulletin were: "Some Trade Cards with Particular Emphasis on the Currier and Ives Contribu­ tions," by Mrs. Bella C. Landauer; "Little Objects, Curious or Artistic, from Revolutionary Camp Sites," by William L. Calver; "The Society's American Household Exhibition," by Miss Dorothy C.

ATTENDANCE In 1934 the number of visitors in the eleven months that the building was open was 19,129. The reports of the Librarian, Treasurer, and Field Explora­ tion Committee follow. Respectfully submitted, SAMUEL V. HOFFMAN, Chairman. PORTRAIT OF ADRIAAN BANCKER (1724-1792) OF NEW YORK AND STATEN ISLAND. Bequest of Dr. George S. DeGroot, 1934. 1$ REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN FOR THE YEAR 1934 There were 12,470 items of all kinds added to the library in 1934 consisting of 95 volumes and 3,155 miscellaneous manuscripts, and 4 volumes and 6 separate photostats of manu­ scripts, 928 volumes and 1,420 pamphlets, 2,568 periodicals, 1,143 numbers and 38 volumes of early newspapers, 110 broad­ sides, 1 atlas and 122 maps, 1 volume and 612 pieces of sheet music, 7 albums, 224 photographs and 334 photostats, 214 pieces of paper currency, 273 programs, 278 post cards, 363 trade cards, 132 valentines and various greeting cards, 151 lithographs, woodcuts, engravings, etc., 88 tickets, menus, badges, etc., and 157 miscellaneous items. Again, as in 1933, we were unable to purchase for the library many books published during the year and needed in our work, as well as newspapers which were offered for sale and which would have filled in gaps in our files. We, however, received some interesting gifts in 1934. Mr. iDe Witt M. Lockman added 900 manuscript survey maps to his previous gifts of such surveys made on Manhattan Island. Mr. Alan R. Hawley presented two large volumes of news­ paper clippings, photographs, letters, an air mail stamp col­ lection, etc., pertaining to the history of aviation and air mail in the United States, and to Mr. Hawley's activities as Presi­ dent of the Aero Club of America. Mr. Charles A. Kip generously gave us two family Bibles containing the records of the Kip and Goelet families. Mr. Josiah K. Lilly donated 801 reproductions of songs by Stephen C. Foster, of the period 1826-1864, from originals in his collection in Foster Hall, Indianapolis. The reproductions were privately published in 1933. Mr. Douglas C. McMurtrie gave a set of his monographs on early printing in various parts of the United States. The New York Caledonian Club presented 66 volumes of periodicals and 12 volumes of newspapers, including a file of the Illustrated London News, 1849-1885; Harper's Weekly, i7 18 THE NFW YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY

1857-1871, The Illustrated News, vols. 1 and 2, 1853, and the London Graphic, 1871-1877. Miss Isabella Vache Cox donated 612 pieces of sheet music and much other material. Mrs. Irving McKesson presented 206 pieces of continental currency issued 1775-1781 by Delaware, New Jersey, Mary­ land, Pennsylvania, and Virginia; also 11 of the 45 old valen­ tines received during the year, the others coming from Mr. Edmund B. Child and Mr. William A. Robbins. The principal collection of manuscripts received in 1934 was one donated by Mr. James Thurston Horn and especially re­ corded in the April, 1934, and January, 1935, issues of the Quarterly Bulletin. The manuscripts pertain to the Tontine Coffee House Association and the Lawrence family of Long Island. We acquired by purchase from his family, the papers of John Pintard (1759-1844), founder of The New York His­ torical Society and many other institutions in New York. The collection consists of over one thousand letters and other docu­ ments relating to his business and personal affairs. Of the many other gifts to the library (some of which were acknowledged in the Quarterly Bulletin) only the donors' names can be recorded in this report. They are all gratefully acknowledged. By such continued support the library has gathered in the course of its 130 years a most valuable collec­ tion on American history. Since its beginning the Society has had funds for only very limited purchases, and needs donations of special funds to carry on active collecting in specific fields.

MANUSCRIPTS

There were added in 1934, 95 volumes and 3,155 separate manuscripts, and 4 volumes and 6 photostats of manuscripts. Among the collections of manuscripts in the Society for which card indices were made during the year were the Forman papers as well as those of Jeremiah Wadsworth, the De Lancey family, John Trumbull, and Henry O'Reilly. Many of the manuscripts were silked in our bindery, as reported under that heading. REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 19

BINDERY In our bindery there were bound during the year 617 vol­ umes of books, 170 volumes of early newspapers, 41 volumes of manuscripts and 1 scrapbook. There were made 3 slip covers, and 4 newspaper covers and 133 mats for prints; 62 letters were hinged; 708 photographs, broadsides, maps, and posters were mounted on muslin, 383 broadsides, manuscripts, newspapers and maps were placed between silk, and 2,050 maps of the Lockman Collection were unrolled and flattened by the bindery. In all 4,172 items were handled in the bindery.

PHOTOSTATS AND PHOTOGRAPHS In this department 8,472 photostatic prints were made, and 744 photographs printed from negatives. The photographs were chiefly of new and old museum accessions. The photostat total included 5,512 prints made in reproducing our files of Gaine's New York Weekly Mercury for the years 1769-1772 inclusive for subscribing libraries. We were fortunate in securing permission to make photo­ static copies of the New York City Marble Cemetery records (1834-1915), and the New York Marble Cemetery records (1830-1918) through the courtesy of Mr. Parmly Scofield Clapp and Col. Thatcher T. P. Luquer respectively. These two cemeteries, one on Second Street, and the other at 41J4 Second Avenue, New York City, contain the graves of many of old New York's distinguished families. We purchased from the Massachusetts Historical Society a photostat file of The Boston Gazette, Dec. 21, 1719-Dec. 20, 1725; and from The New York Public Library, 130 negatives of Gaine's New York Mercury, 1771-1772, to complete our file.

THE LANDAUER COLLECTION Mrs. Bella C. Landauer continued her valuable collecting during 1934 and added largely to the collections of trade cards, book plates and lottery items which she gave to the Society several years ago. The care of them is in her charge which assures the best methods of preservation, arrangement, and accessibility. The Society is greatly indebted to her for her continued interest and support. 20 THE NEW YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY

NAVAL HISTORY SOCIETY (JOHN S. BARNES FOUNDATION) The library of the Naval History Society was increased during the past year principally through the generosity of Mrs. Richard Worsam Meade, in presenting the books and manuscripts of her late husband, Richard Worsam Meade (4th), formerly Secretary of the Naval History Society. This gift comprised 94 books and pamphlets relating to the Ameri­ can Navy, and the manuscript correspondence, orders, log books, reports, etc. of Captain Richard Worsam Meade, 2d (1807-1870) and of his son, Admiral Richard Worsam Meade, 3d (1837-1897). The papers of Captain Meade include letters written while he was serving on the U. S. S. Fulton, in 1840; on the Massachusetts, 1854-55; on the U. S. Receiving Ship North Carolina, 1862-64; and on the San Jacinto, 1864-65. During his career in the Navy, Admiral Meade commanded, or cruised on, the following ships of the Navy: The St. Louis, and the Columbia, on which he was .a midshipman, 1854-55; the Chocura, during the Civil War; the Saginaw, in the Pacific Ocean, 1868-69; the Narragansett, also in the Pacific, 1871- 73; and the Vandalia, of the North Atlantic Squadron, 1879-82. Another important gift of the year, presented by Mrs. H. Parker Rolfe, consisted of 34 manuscripts (originals or type­ written copies) of her father, Lieutenant-Commander Edwin J. DeHaven, U. S. N., relating to the Grinnell Arctic expedition which he commanded in 1850, in search of Sir John Franklin. Other donors included Rear Admiral Philip Andrews, Col­ onel James Barnes, Commander I. V. Gillis, Rear Admiral Livingston Hunt, Professor R. J. Duval, Librarian of the U. S. Naval Academy, the Bureau of Navigation of the Navy De­ partment, the Bureau of Census of the Department of Com­ merce, and the Naval Historical Foundation. In May, 1934, the Naval History Society distributed to its members, in lieu of one of its own collections, copies of Joseph Gurn's biography of Commodore fohn Barry: Father of the American Navy (published by P. J. Kenedy & Sons), which was based partly on the Barry manuscripts and other source material in the Society's library. Nff:f^K iB R i tJ ^JU

ALEXANDER J. WALL, Librarian REPORT OF THE FIELD EXPLORATION COMMITTEE FOR THE YEAR 1934 While the year 1934 was not prolific in material finds or acquisitions—physical research work being considerably re­ stricted due to lack of funds—the usual activities of the Field Exploration Committee were conducted in profitable ways. Through domestic and foreign correspondence, information was acquired or disseminated, and several lectures by members of the Committee were delivered before historical or scientific bodies. Early in the year, in response to a request from the Man­ hattan Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution for a suggestion as to a worthy activity by the Chapter, the marking of the site of the Livingston Sugar House was recom­ mended, and it was decided to place a bronze tablet on the Mutual Life Insurance Building at 34 Nassau Street to com­ memorate the fact that upon that site stood the ancient Sugar House used as a prison for American soldiers in the War of the Revolution. An appropriate bronze tablet was accordingly prepared, and with fitting ceremonies was placed on the Mutual Life Building on May 24th. On that occasion, the Chairman of the Field Exploration Committee delivered the dedicatory address. The resetting of the fifteenth milestone, an activity sug­ gested by the Exploration Committee to the Washington Heights Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, was accomplished by the members of the Chapter on November 18th. This stone, which happily was removed from its original, but precarious, position on the old Albany Post Road by Mr. Edward C. Delafield about twenty years ago, now occupies a position directly against the westerly wall of the Van Cort­ landt Mansion, in Van Cortlandt Park, a site that is quite safe and geographically correct. At the resetting of this stone, Mr. Delafield made some appropriate remarks, and Mr. Reginald P. Bolton, the Secretary of the Field Exploration Committee, recounted at length the historical and sentimental interests attaching to it. Following up certain leads recently disclosed in the Niagara 27 28 THE NEW YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY River district, we have been able to acquire photographs, casts, and actual specimens of additional bits of early 19th century British military equipment, and these have helped us to depict accurately the personnel of the several units of the British army in this country in the War of 1812. A number of draw­ ings showing, in color, the officers and men of the army will be exhibited in the lecture to be given before the Society on the evening of February 5th. These color drawings by the English military artist, Mr. A. R. Cattley, are life-like in their charac­ ter, aijd correct in details, according to personal equipment in our possession. No similar collection of drawings exists in this country. It is a fitting sequel to the collection of paintings of troops of the American Revolution executed for the Society by the late Charles M. Lefferts. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM L. CALVER, Chairman. MINIATURE OF A MEMBER OF THE CORNELL FAMILY, MINIATURE OF DANIEL LOVETT WITH A LOCK OF WITH BRAIDED HAIR IN THE BACK OF THE FRAME.
