Information and financial data concerning GSPT financing, recent appropriations and agency operations are contained in the chapters which follow the acreage tables. This is to be construed as the full annual report of the Garden State Preservation Trust for the 2011 Fiscal Year in compliance with P.L. 1999 C.152 section 8C-15.

    NJS: An Interdisciplinary Journal Summer 2017 215 NJS Presents Museums, Archives, Artifacts, and Documents News In this Issue: Alonzo Earl Foringer’s Greatest Mother in the World: The New Jersey Roots of the Most Famous Poster of World War I By Nicholas P. Ciotola DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14713/njs.v3i2.88 Despite renewed interest in the illustrated posters of World War I brought about by the commemoration of the war’s centennial, few extant works in either the academic or public history sectors offer comprehensive explorations of individual posters. This article provides a microhistory of The Greatest Mother in the World (1918), an impactful lithographic poster designed by New Jersey muralist Alonzo Earl Foringer and inspired by a slogan from a Princeton graduate turned advertising executive named Courtland Smith. Printed and distributed in the millions, Foringer’s poster reached a level of mass appeal unsurpassed by any other piece of American visual propaganda produced in the war years. A detailed look at the background and impact of this important poster explores a lesser-known and understudied aspect of World War I history, while also affording an interdisciplinary research model that can be utilized for future studies of additional posters and their place in American visual culture. It is perhaps the most memorable image in the history of Italian Renaissance art. In Michelangelo’s Pietà (1499), a seated, berobed Virgin Mary cradles the lifeless body of an adult Jesus Christ. Fifteenth-century viewers marveled at the beauty and humanity of the sculpture, which Michelangelo carved from a single slab of Carrara marble.

The core of the public-information mission of the Garden State Preservation Trust has been to document and illustrate achievements in conservation and preservation – with an emphasis on accomplishments at the municipal level. We measure this by acres preserved. But it is also importation to show grants for recreational development, historic site funding and the intact farms that have been protected. The bulk of the Annual Report focuses on all of this information. Of course, the statutory function of this Annual Report concerns GSPT financing, appropriations and agency operations. These are contained in the chapters which follow the Legislative District preservation tables. This is to be construed as the full annual report of the Garden State Preservation Trust for the 2013 Fiscal Year in compliance with P.L. 1999 C.152 section 8C-15. It is also intended to be a comprehensive summary of required financial reporting from FY2000 through FY2013, providing a full accounting of Garden State Preservation Trust activities since July 1999. The principal author is Executive Director Ralph Siegel. A special debt is owed to Bryan Lofberg of the State Agriculture Development Committee for years of patience, thorough assistance and faithful friendship.

    NJS: An Interdisciplinary Journal Summer 2018 69 The Hudson County Court House and Hugh Roberts: A Building and Architect in Perspective By Randall Gabrielan DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14713/njs.v4i2.128 Hugh Roberts, the architect of the Hudson County Court House, has had his career identified in totality with this building that brought him fame for its artistic stature and shame for his envelopment in the graft scandal that followed its 1910 opening. History has been kinder to him than were his contemporaries. Accusations against him are now considered to have been unjustified, but the imbroglio derailed his practice. The court house and much of the Roberts oeuvre originated through the influence of and his relationships with the politically powerful. Examination of the court house project, Roberts’ other work and the law suit place both architect and building in sharper focus. Early Life and Influences Hugh Roberts, born in Brooklyn in 1867 and educated at the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, was established in Jersey City at least by 1893 (when he began appearing in city directories). He had early New York addresses at 287 Fourth Avenue and 1123 Broadway, but they were likely offices of convenience (which numerous New Jersey architects maintained). An 1899 guide to New York architects claims, “He is at his office very little. Main office is at 76 Montgomery Photograph of Roberts 1 from Meeker, Ellis R., The Street, Jersey City,” where he had been established by 1896.

    COVERCOVERcover Garden State Preservation Trust Annual Report FISCAL YEAR 2012 With district-by-district tables on park development grants Essex County Riverfront Park, Newark Garden State Preservation Trust Fiscal Year 2012 Annual Report This is the Annual Report of the Garden State Preservation Trust for the Fiscal Year 2012 from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012. It has always been the goal and mission of the Garden State Preservation Trust to place preservation first. This has been traditionally measured in the number of acres preserved as parks, nature refuges and farmland. But substantial share of Garden State Preservation Trust funding has gone to recreational development, an elusive metric because the allocations of dollars are not easily sorted into specific parks or projects. In Fiscal Year 2012 this reporting was accomplished and is included in this annual report for the first time. This is to be construed as the full annual report of the Garden State Preservation Trust for the 2012 Fiscal Year in compliance with P.L. 1999 C.152 section 8C-15. It is also intended to be a comprehensive summary of required financial reporting from FY2000 through FY2012 – a “one-stop” document of the career of the Garden State Preservation Trust since July 1999. The principal author is Executive Director Ralph Siegel. Special thanks are owed to Bryan Lofberg of the State Agriculture Development Committee, Joseph Lombardo of the NJ Treasury Office of Management & Budget and Eric Knudsen of the NJDEP Office of Green Acres for their crucial assistance.
