After their introduction in 1876, they were collected by elite New Yorkers, who treasured their rarity and metaphoric connection to gold. After 1900, as public attitudes toward ostentation shifted, the fish became a symbol of the ills of American materialism, having the glitter of gold without its intrinsic value. These reflective creatures thus mirrored the social order. Tracing the rise and fall of goldfish reveals how affluent New Yorkers came to reject the aesthetics of affluence while supporting the underlying capitalist system that made their fortunes possible.","PeriodicalId":43437,"journal":{"name":"WINTERTHUR PORTFOLIO-A JOURNAL OF AMERICAN MATERIAL CULTURE","volume":"54 1","pages":"149 - 183"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/712108","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41770832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His widely disseminated molded product, which substituted for wood carving in bas relief, helped spread Robert Adam’s neoclassical style in America. Andrews’s production and sources are identified, compared with, and distinguished from those of two competitors, Robert Wellford and a heretofore little-known Boston workshop. Composition ornaments found in Winterthur’s Phyfe Room, Federal Parlor, and Billiard Room are newly assigned to Andrews’s workshop, and invoices and a catalog in Winterthur’s library are used to further explore his pricing, production, and imagery.","PeriodicalId":43437,"journal":{"name":"WINTERTHUR PORTFOLIO-A JOURNAL OF AMERICAN MATERIAL CULTURE","volume":"54 1","pages":"3 - 64"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/709875","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48230890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Members of the aspiring and rising middle class, among others, eagerly commissioned, collected, and exchanged these small prints. From his home in New Haven, Connecticut, William Fowler Hopson designed over 200 bookplates for patrons ranging from close family and friends to an international network of bookplate enthusiasts. Departing from the traditional trope of the heraldic crest, Hopson closely collaborated with his patrons to create personalized pictorial statements, crafting individualized advertisements of the self.","PeriodicalId":43437,"journal":{"name":"WINTERTHUR PORTFOLIO-A JOURNAL OF AMERICAN MATERIAL CULTURE","volume":"54 1","pages":"65 - 107"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/710214","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47762679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
