About the Item

Illustration for the article ”Old New York Taverns” by John Austin Stevens for Harper’s New Monthly Magazine, published May 1890, Page 849. The article explores the significant role of taverns in New Amsterdam, modern-day New York City. Howard Pyle’s en grisaille illustration depicts a group of colonial-era men in New Amsterdam, engrossed in reading their newspapers in a communal room. The accompanying text emphasizes that coffee houses in the burgeoning, trade-focused city served as the primary daytime gathering spots for merchants. These establishments also provided a quiet evening retreat for colonists to read newspapers arriving from abroad, thus connecting them to global events. Equally vital to the city’s social fabric were its taverns. Much like the coffee houses, taverns functioned as central gathering places, frequently hosting the community’s leading figures and playing a significant role in the social life of New Amsterdam. The artwork comes with a copy of the magazine. Date; 1890 Medium: Oil on Board Dimensions: 14.00" x 20.00" Signature: Signed Lower Right
