What is featured here is an original plan drawn by Brite & Bacon, architect(s) and featured in American Architect and Building News. For years Long Island, New York was only able to be reached by boat, but upon the completion of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883, the people of New York gained increased access to Long Island. That, along with the newly developed Long Island subway and elevated rail system spurred a surge of population to the outer boroughs of New York City. By the early part of the 20th century, Long Island housed both immigrants spilling over from Manhattan, as well as the Manhattan elite of the time, seeking to build secondary and vacation homes. The plan featured here is of a house built for the latter and could be described as a rare find because very few architectural plans of that time included coloring. Long Island plays a roll in The House Of Mirth as the place where the Gromers, a family who lives among the elite class in Manhattan, are building their country house. This item depicts plans for a house that is very similar to that which this well-to-do fictional family could have been building in the early 20th century. These houses were some of the first fully electrically wired houses of their time, allowing Mrs. Gromer to “plunged into problems of lighting and sanitation,” as the novel states.

If no author is specified there, see fields guide. S. A. Nelson Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) 1900 Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) “The A B C of Wall Street” is a book written by S. A. Nelson to describe many different aspects of Wall Street and the stock market at the time of publication. Nelson writes chapters on the stock market, trading with stocks and bonds, trading specific commodities, the daily life of a stock broker, etc. While there is no clear or direct goal of this book, other than to educate the reader on the basics of Wall Street, it does simultaneously make one fact very clear about the public of this time period: they did not know anything about Wall Street. This financial market was regarded as mysterious during this time period, as Nelson pointed out in the first chapter. Nelson recounts that “Many men seem to be unable to penetrate the mystery in which they believe Wall Street is shrouded.” The financial lingo used in this infrastructure was seen as “financial facts clothed in strange technical terms.” Clearly, if you were not a broker on Wall Street during this time period, you most likely had little to no idea of what really happened on Wall Street. The stock market was also mainly for people who had money. All of these things help us understand the time period better, because the social class discussed in the novel would have been highly involved (or wanted to be involved) in the stock market at this time, as Lily Bart attempted to do. We know that Wall Street was regarded as mysterious and incomprehensible to many, which is probably why Lily asked Trenor to invest a small sum of money for her. We also know that at the time, the stock market was primarily entered by those who had large sums of money to spend. Lily’s awe and wonderment toward Wall Street was common among people of wealth in that time period. It later became to be regarded as a place where investors could “make a sure dollar”, even though we know this not to be true, especially when 40 years later in the early 1940’s, the stock market crashed with the problems with the war, and the country entered “The Great Depression”.

Adolphe Smith Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) 1912 Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) This item is a book about the past and the present (with respect to the published year of this book, 1912) of Monaco and Monte Carlo – from the same timeline as the novel. The item is written by an English photographer and Journalist Adolphe Smith. Having worked with a lot of high officials, he was also an interpreter for the International Peace Congress, and hence knew the Prince of Monaco personally. He was able to research deeply on the culture of Monte Carlo, and discuss about the “art, beauty, luxury, pleasure, extravagance and folly” as stated in the item. Monte Carlo is described by the author in the preface as “a haven for the fine arts, especially with those connected with music and the stage.” In the item, the author gives us a description of these fine arts – singing, dancing, the Russian ballet, French comedies, orchestra and the Monte Carlo opera. We also get a good insight on sports, casinos, casino gardens and behind the scenes of gambling in Monte Carlo, as well as some other popular tourist exhibits such as the palace and the Condamine. The information from the item helps us understand why Monte Carlo is significant to the novel. During the time of the book, Monte Carlo was a very popular destination for tourists consisting of people of the upper class. Lily Bart, the protagonist of the story, travels to Monte Carlo on part two of the book “The House of Mirth” with the Dorsets. Lily’s aim was to get into the elite social class, so we can relate to the luxurious and extravagant lifestyle stated by Adolphe Smith to Lily’s journeys on the Dorset’s yacht. The novel describes Monte Carlo to “offer an infinity ways being idle.” (Chapter 1 Book 2), with mentions of gambling and stage programs. This can be related to the description of the fine arts in this item as mentioned before. There is also a description of the casino garden in the novel, which can be traced to this item. In the same chapter (Chapter 1 Book 2), Selden, Jack Stepney, The Brys and Lord Hubert Dacey is described as going to the Condamine for lunch.

A large mansion built upon the Hudson River, it was home to great wealth. Rensselaer family owned land beyond imagination. The original Rensselaer's that came from Holland actually bought Staten Island from the Indians. Many of the trials and tribulations that Lily Bart, the main character of "House of Mirth", goes through happen at a similar place such as the Van Rensselaer Mansion. Bellomont is placed along the Hudson river outside of the city of Rhinebeck, NY (over half-way between NYC and Albany). Many things like gambling, partying, drinking, and social match-makings take place at Bellomont. After the last heir of Van Rensselaer Mansion died, Williams College in Massachusetts actually dismantled the Mansion and rebuilt it on campus to be Fraternity house. Where I assume many of the same activities took place. Contributor The name of the person who obtained, uploaded, and described the item. Please use the same form of your name throughout the site.
