Charles Parsons (1821-1910) was an American artist and lithographer who, after being apprenticed to the publisher George Endicott, worked for Nathaniel Currier, later Currier & Ives. He became head of the art department of Harper’s publishing firm in 1863.
The Yacht Henrietta was owned by James Gordon Bennett Jr., who also commanded her while she was in the U. S. Revenue Marine Service during the Civil War. She was in Revenue service from June 1861 to May 1862 and participated in the capture of Fernandina, Florida, in March 1862. In 1866 Yacht Henrietta won the Great Ocean Transatlantic Race.
James Gordon Bennett, Jr. (1841-1918) was, among many others things, publisher of the New York Herald – which his father founded. “He won the first-ever transatlantic yacht race in 1866, guiding the HENRIETTA on a two-week voyage from the New Jersey coast to the Isle of Wight. Aboard his next vessel, a steam yacht called the NAMOUNA, he entertained artists, painters, bon vivants, and even a very young Winston Churchill.” -Scherer

- Hidden Cities I / second stateBy Peter MiltonLocated in New York, NY“Hidden Cities I : The Ministry. Second State.” Contemporary artist Peter Milton created this etching and engraving in 2006. The printed image size is Image size 23.50 x 36.88 inches and the paper size is 31 x 42 inches. This impression is signed, dated, and titled in pencil and inscribed “11/75” – the 11th impression from the total printing of 75. “I do love to draw. I feel that I am being granted membership in the Brotherhood of Merlin, conjuring forth some apparition. As a drawing develops, I sense a vague presence coming more and more into focus, something in a white fog emerging and becoming increasingly palpable.” – P. Milton, “The primacy of touch. The Drawings of Peter Milton” “Working in layers, Milton begins with drawings based on people and places, with nods to Western art history and culture. He is a master of the appropriated image, a term that may conjure Andy Warhol and his Pop Art comrades. But Milton steps further back in history, avoiding the Pop sense of cool advertising and popular culture references. Instead, a broader cultural past is tapped through historical photographs of key players, architecture, and locales, which he reinvents by hand. He adds content drawn from his life as an avid reader – always with multiple possible interpretations – thus incorporating deeper meaning in his cinematic worlds. Elements of Greek mythology, classical music, art history, and history coalesce in his images, which embrace the messiness, sorrow, and elation that is life. One is hard-pressed to imagine a more erudite, skilled, passionate, and cheeky soul. In addition to a storied career in printmaking, since 2007 Milton has fearlessly produced artwork digitally. He now creates images using Adobe Photoshop in files consisting of more than two thousand layers, which are printed both as digital prints on paper and, for display on Led light boxes...Category
