1 p.m. USS Monitor to the Dreamland Bell: Unscrambling the Story of James Gregory
2013-03-09 13:00 - 15:00 | Green-Wood Cemetery, 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11232, United States
Civil War Ships, a Coney Island pier, vanished Lower East Side streets and Green-Wood – they all converge in this talk by architect David Grider. David’s unflagging curiosity led him on a long research journey through the brass foundry of James Gregory’s surprising eminence in New York history.
The rapid-prototyping neighborhoods of foundries & ship yards may have vanished long ago, but their artful pieces still pop up in SoHo facades, Virginian steeples and, surprisingly, the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. He’ll detail his findings and the hidden threads one uncovers in research. It’s perfect for urban history enthusiasts or anyone who’s ever dove head first into the research rabbit hole.
After the talk, hop on our trolley for a tour of related Green-Wood sites, like James Gregory himself, Brooklyn Bridge caisson maker Eckford Webb, and cast iron great James Bogardus.
This event has two parts, with separate tickets for each part:

The free talk in the historic Green-Wood chapel.
A guided trolley tour immediately following the talk. Tickets are $10 for members of the Green-Wood Historic Fund and $15 for non-members.

Seating is limited for both the talk and the trolley tour, and reservations are recommended.

1 p.m. The Work of Currier & Ives Talk and Tour
2012-11-17 13:00 - 15:00 | The Historic Chapel at Green-Wood, 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11232, United States
More than 150 years before Americans adorned their homes with mass-produced prints from Pottery Barn or Home Depot, the business team of Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives created an industry of art for ordinary people.
The firm of Currier & Ives proclaimed itself to be the “Grand Central Depot for Cheap and Popular Prints” and singlehandedly democratized art in America. Over the span of their careers, Currier and Ives produced more than seven thousand prints that sold in the millions of copies. At one time, 95 percent of all lithographs in circulation in the United States were from the firm of Currier & Ives. Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives are both interred at Green-Wood.
Join Robert K. Newman, a third-generation owner of the Old Print Shop on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan and expert on Currier & Ives, for an in-depth look at this legendary team. After the talk, join Green-Wood historian Jeff Richman for a trolley tour with stops at the graves of Currier, Ives and other artists from the firm, including Fannie Palmer, the only woman in an otherwise all-male business.
This event has two parts, with separate tickets for each part:

The free talk in the historic Green-Wood chapel.

A guided trolley tour immediately following the talk. Tickets are $15 for members of the Green-Wood Historic Fund and $20 for non-members.

Seating is limited for both the talk and the trolley tour, and reservations are recommended.
To purchase tickets, call 718-210-3080 or order online using the Ticket Information box below — click to Order Now or Enter Promotional Code (Member ID#) and you will be redirected to our Eventbrite ordering page. Please include both free talk tickets and trolley tour tickets in your order if you would like to attend both parts of the event.
