New York Painting Begins: Eighteenth-Century Portraits at the New-York Historical Society the New-York Historical Society Holds
New York Painting Begins: Eighteenth-Century Portraits at the New-York Historical Society The New-York Historical Society holds one of the nation’s premiere collections of eighteenth-century American portraits. During this formative century a small group of native-born painters and European émigrés created images that represent a broad swath of elite colonial New York society -- landowners and tradesmen, and later Revolutionaries and Loyalists -- while reflecting the area’s Dutch roots and its strong ties with England. In the past these paintings were valued for their insights into the lives of the sitters, and they include distinguished New Yorkers who played leading roles in its history. However, the focus here is placed on the paintings themselves and their own histories as domestic objects, often passed through generations of family members. They are encoded with social signals, conveyed through dress, pose, and background devices. Eighteenth-century viewers would have easily understood their meanings, but they are often unfamiliar to twenty-first century eyes. These works raise many questions, and given the sparse documentation from the period, not all of them can be definitively answered: why were these paintings made, and who were the artists who made them? How did they learn their craft? How were the paintings displayed? How has their appearance changed over time, and why? And how did they make their way to the Historical Society? The state of knowledge about these paintings has evolved over time, and continues to do so as new discoveries are made. This exhibition does not provide final answers, but presents what is currently known, and invites the viewer to share the sense of mystery and discovery that accompanies the study of these fascinating works. -

Gift of Bayard Verplanck, 1949 (See page 42) OF DUTCHESS /680-/807 by S. Velma Pugsley Spo11sored by THE DUTCHESS COUNTY AMERICAN REVOLUTION BICENTENNIAL COMMISSION as a 1976 Project Printed by HAMILTON REPRODUCTIONS, Inc. Poughkeepsie, N. Y. FOREWORD The Bicentennial Project rirled "Portraits of Dutchess 1680-1807" began as a simple, personal arrempr ro catalog existing porrrairs of people whose lives were part of rhe county's history in rhe Colonial Period. As rhe work progressed ir became certain rhar relatively few were srill in the Durchess-Purnam area. As so many of rhem had become the property of Museums in other localities it seemed more important than ever ro lisr rhem and their present locations. When rhe Dutchess County American Revolution Bicentennial Commission with great generosity undertook rhe funding ir was possible ro illustrate rhe booklet with photographs from rhe many available sources. This document is nor ro be considered as a geneological or historic record even though much research in rhose directions became a necessity. The collection is meant ro be a pictorial record, only, hoping rhar irs readers may be made more aware rhar these paintings are indeed pictures of our ancestors. Ir is also hoped rhar all museum collections of Colonial Painting will be viewed wirh deeper and more personal interest. The portraits which are privately owned are used here by rhe gracious consent of the owners. Those works from public sources are so indicated. -

African-Americans in the New York City Region During the British Occupation, 1776-1783 Judith Van Buskirk State University of New York at Cortland
Crossing the Lines: African-Americans in the New York City Region during the British Occupation, 1776-1783 Judith Van Buskirk State University of New York at Cortland Evert Byvanck waited until he could actually hear the Battle of New York before vacating his country house in August 1776. He had taken the precaution of moving out of his city residence before the cannon thundered from across the East River. Now, on August 31, Byvanck realized that his person and possessions would not even be safe at his Corlear's Hook country estate. Consequently his slaves, Sam, Cato, and Prince, loaded up Byvanck's skiff with two chests of clothes, one box of earthenware, one box of periwigs, and a bundle of clothes for themselves. They sailed up the river to Harlem where the three slaves hauled the boatload of articles to a gentleman's house near the slip. Next morning, Byvanck dispatched Sam and Cato to help Byvanck's son move his household to the new family refuge at Horseneck, Connecticut. The elder Byvanck instructed his remaining slave, Prince, to load a cart with his master's small trunk, the master's son's books, and a treasured spy glass, after which master and slave proceeded to Horseneck. Once they had arrived in Connecticut, Byvanck sent Cato with a bundle of clothes to his wife and child at Alexander Forbush's house in Hackensack, New Jersey, where Cato was to work for his victuals until Byvanck needed him. With Cato gone, and Prince busy setting up the new household, Byvanck had to hire a Negro man named Jack to accompany Sam and his eldest son to Manhattan,where they were to retrieve chests of clothes, two feather beds, furniture, linens, guns, powderhorns, saddles, bridles, and Byvanck's sword. -
