Antiques By Green-Wood’s Artists

Last week was Antiques Week in New York City. Antiques shows were everywhere!

So, being a fan of such things, I thought I would take a day off from my work as the historian at Green-Wood to check out the shows.

My first stop was the Armory Show at the 69th Regiment Armory–26th Street and Lexington Avenue. And, as soon as I made it into the first booth there, I knew it was not going to be all that much of a day off–almost immediately I spotted a cigar store Indian, by Thomas Brooks, who is interred at Green-Wood.

I explained to the dealer that I am the historian at Green-Wood and Brooks is interred there–would it be okay if I took a photograph of his work and put it on my blog?

No problem, said the dealer.
