Here one of the great Kabuki actors of the day, Ebizō, is shown in distinctive profile in the character of a loathsome hag, known as the Kemushi Babā, literally, the old caterpillar lady. She dwells in Anō village, where the mountain boy Momotarō grew up. The Ichikawa actor played this role as well as that of Araki Saemon in the play Mukashi mukashi tejiro no saru むかし／＼掌白猿 at the Ichimuraza Theatre in the eighth month of 1792. This print forms the right half of a diptych that features on the left Ichikawa Monnosuke II as Momotarō (see Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, acc. no. 54.493). At the opening of the theatre season in the previous year, at the same theatre, the most momentous shūmei (actor name announcement) of the era occurred when the actors Ichikawa Danjūrō V and Ichikawa Ebizō IV “traded” stage names to become respectively Ichikawa Ebizō and Ichikawa Danjūrō VI. According to records, it was decided that Danjūrō V’s son Ebizō (with Ebi written 海老, meaning “shrimp,” but literally, “old man of the sea”) would become Danjūrō VI in the eleventh month of 1791 (Kansei 3). The father, at age 51, would then be called Ebizō 鰕蔵, but with “Ebi” written with the character 鰕 (referring generally to zakoebi 天鰕, “heavenly shrimp”). It is said that Danjūrō V wanted to use a different way to write the famous name because he humbly declared “A grandfather will never be the equal of the father of the shrimp (祖父や父親の海老には及びません).

Brewster & Company History Established in 1810 by James Brewster (1788–1866) in New Haven, Connecticut, Brewster & Company, specialized in the manufacture of fine carriages. The founder opened a New York showroom in 1827 at 53-54 Broad Street, and the company flourished under generations of family leadership. Expansion necessitated moves around lower Manhattan, with name changes reflecting shifts of management–James Brewster & Sons operated at 25 Canal Street, James Brewster Sons at 396 Broadway, and Brewster of Broome Street was based at 372 & 374 Broome Street with a repository (showroom) on 14th Street & Fifth Avenue. By 1874, Brewster & Company had 400 employees and combined warehouse and factory facilities at 47th & 48th Streets and Broadway. Brewster successfully branched out to produce their own automobiles, as well as supplying bodies for Rolls Royce at their Long Island City location. Notable clientele included Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, August Belmont, J.P. Morgan, John Jacob Astor, Andrew J. Cassatt (brother of artist Mary Cassatt), William Rockefeller, Henry Clay Frick and Pierre Lorillard. Talented draftsmen employed by the firm included Paul Steinbeck, Herman Stahmer and John Gribbon, the latter teaching at the Carriage Builders and Designers Technical School, which opened in 1880 and was housed initially at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. When the company finally dissolved in 1923, its last owner William Brewster (1866–1949) donated its archive of design and presentation drawings to the Museum where he served as benefactor and trustee. Of all American carriage manufacturers, none was as highly regarded for design, finish and quality as Brewster & Company. They won many awards for outstanding workmanship, including the Legion d’Honneur (Legion of Honor) at the 1878 Paris Exposition (3rd World’s Fair). In appreciation for this achievement the Carriage Builders’ National Association presented them with a gold enameled Tiffany & Company plaque and autograph book signed by leading American carriage builders, both now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Subjects: costume, geometric, silver (color), ornaments

During the 1860s and early 1870s, Navajos (Diné) learned silversmithing from Hispanic artisans in New Mexico, and Plains Indian craftsmen whose own metalwork stemmed from Colonial sources in the eastern United States. Mexican pesos, U.S. American dollars, and ingot silver were melted down and recast in molds carved from soft volcanic tufa. Navajo silversmiths employed steel tools and punches to develop decorative patterns. Early concho belts, bow guards, bracelets, necklaces, horse headstalls, and other items of silver jewelry display massive forms and simple ornamentation. By the 1890s turquoise was increasingly used; although most turquoise was obtained from Southwestern sources, some was imported from China and Iran. Navajo silversmiths rapidly established a distinctive elegant style that has become one of the classic hallmarks of Native American art in the greater Southwest. Today, Navajo jewelry, like that of their neighboring Pueblo neighbors, exhibit much greater complexity of design and the use of diverse semiprecious stones, shell, and a variety of metals.

The supplies of bullion brought to Europe from the New World in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries caused inflation, and in response new coinage was issued with a wider range of denominations. Gold coins like the sovereign, with the value of one pound, twenty shillings, first appeared in 1489. It was replaced by the unite in 1604 and by the guinea in 1663. Initially minted in gold, the crown was also produced in silver from 1551, with standardized dimensions similar to other European coins.

Pikeman’s Armor
Object type: pikeman s armor
Date: 1620 – 1630
Materials: brass, steel
Culture: british
Location: england

In battle formation, pikemen stood together in tight ranks and used their pikes to defend unarmored musketeers. The latter were deployed on the flanks of the pikemen and retreated behind them to reload after firing a volley. The pike is a steel-tipped spear up to eighteen feet long with which the pikemen fended off attacking cavalry. This tandem use of “shot and pike” was the fundamental principle governing infantry tactics for much of the seventeenth century. The quality of this armor and its decoration suggest that it was worn by an officer and that it may be a late product of the royal armor workshops at Greenwich, which closed in 1637 after 120 years of activity.
