Greater Gotham
The takeaway from Wallace’s Greater Gotham is that New York City was big, plenty big. His story begins with a detailed and persuasive account of the late nineteenth-century consolidation of the city and ends in 1919, with a metropolis bursting with energy, wealth, and prospects.This book’s predecessor, Gotham: A History of New York City to 1898 (New York, 2000), written by Wallace and Edwin G. Burrows, covered 289 years, ending with a successful …

In 1892, 1,265 millionaires lived in greater New York. In 2014 Manhattan alone had 21,353 (p. 191). Clifton Hood's In Pursuit of Privilege tells the story of the upper class of New York City in eight substantial chapters, beginning in the 1750s, and concluding in the 1970s and beyond.

Buffalo Bill in Bologna

The only reciprocal vogue for Chelsea or Manchester United reproduction shirts in the United States is expatriate-led. The traffic flows westward across the Atlantic. What a Yankees logo means in Norwich is another matter. It may mean nothing, just another example of consumer goods w…
Image-making and the circulation of images
Images of the founding fathers shaped the way Americans saw their nation and its leading figures. Justly celebrated portraits by Charles Willson Peale, John Trumbull and others, claimed the authority of factual accuracy. Such images were part of the late eighteenth-century world of image-making which spread across Europe and the United States. The financial interests of the painters and engravers, and the changeable market for their images, meant…
