Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Folk art has long been a part of the cultural heritage of the Hudson River Valley.The Hudson River school of painting traces its roots to the valley, as does a uniquedecorative style of stonewarepreserve pots and jugs with scenes of birds, flowers, andanimals that were part of the potter's life. While the Hudson River paintings, usuallycommissioned by wealthy landowners, have achieved universal acclaim, the utilitarianstoneware, owned by even the least successful merchants and farmers, has been widelycollected but little understood.Poughkeepsie Potters and the Plague makes an important contribution toward anunderstanding of the stoneware tradition of the Hudson Valley. Based on years ofresearch, it uncovers for the first time the significance of early stoneware productionat Poughkeepsie and outlines its onehundredyear history. Astonishingly, its earlybeginnings may be attributed to a series of yellowfever epidemics that struck NewYork City during the 17951805 period. These epidemics forced a migration ofpeople away from the beleaguered city to places such as Poughkeepsie. PoughkeepsiePotters and the Plague began with a dated butter pot that was made by the firststoneware potters of Poughkeepsie as a tribute to the epidemic victims of New YorkCity in 1798a single piece of pottery transcending time and location to bring tolife the historical triumph of the enduring human spirit.
