About the Item

NYC Architectural Element Circa Turn of the Century. A stunning example of the beauty of NYC Architectural design. Depicted is a Plaster Face of a person with a helmet, solider maybe from some foreign land. When you look up in NYC the faces are mostly anonymous. They came from a host of different immigrant communities--Asian, African, South American, German, Italian, and others--and many worked in stone yards in Red Hook.” The golden age of building sculpture in NYC was after the Civil War up until post-World War I. During that time, it seemed that just about every building that went up had some kind of stone or terracotta embellishment. It didn’t matter whether it was a public building or a private home or a multi-story residential building--they were all deemed worthy of beautification. He points out that some prime examples of this art can be seen on tenement buildings on the Lower East Side--” this was an art that belonged to everyone."
