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.

Model Calligraphies from the “Hall of Three Rarities” (Sanxitang) and the "Collected Treasures of the Stony Moat” (Shiqu Baoji)
Object type: calligraphy
Date: 1751 – 1800
Materials: ink, paper
Culture: chinese
Artist: various artists
Artist role: artist

The Hall of Three Rarities, an anthology of rubbings, is one of the monuments of cultural patronage sponsored by the Qianlong Emperor. Based on calligraphic masterworks in the imperial collection, this encyclopedic compilation, which establishes a canon of orthodox writing styles in standard, running, and cursive scripts, is a remarkable demonstration of eighteenth-century connoisseurship and craftsmanship. In eighteenth-century China, the best technique for reproducing a work of calligraphy was to painstakingly make an ink rubbing from a stone engraving. After a tracing copy of the original was made, it was transferred onto a finely polished stone. Next, the traced design was engraved into the stone so that the characters were reversed. Paper was then laid over the stone, dampened, and pressed carefully into the engraved lines. Finally, ink was patted over the surface of the paper so that the recessed characters appeared white against a black ground. This anthology is notable for its precise carving style and the glossy black finish of the rubbings. The stones from which these rubbings were made are preserved in a special hall within the former imperial gardens of Beihai Park, Beijing. Shown here is the final calligraphy in the anthology, a transcription of Eulogy for Ni Kuan (active late 2nd century B.C.) by Dong Qichang (1555–1636), a calligrapher greatly admired by the Qianlong Emperor. Dong's postscript to this text, written in large, cursive-script characters, states that his transcription follows an earlier rendering of this text by the Tang-dynasty court calligrapher Chu Suiliang (596–658).

Plum Blossoms

Materials: ink, paper
Culture: japanese
Artist: matsumura keibun 松村景文
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: japanese
Artist dates: 1779 – 1843

The blossoming of plum trees in the early spring—a symbol of resilience against winter’s oppressive cold—has long been a favorite subject for ink paintings by East Asian artists. Matsumura Keibun, one of the foremost painters of the Kyoto-based Shijō school, adhered to conventions from Chinese painting manuals for suggesting a sense of depth through the rendering of intertwined tree branches. The variegated grays against an expansive blank background create a boldly graphic composition, while the animated strokes of the new shoots impart dynamism. Keibun was well versed in Ming (1368–1644)- and Qing (1644–1912)-dynasty art theory, and had close ties to sinologists in Kyoto intellectual circles. Among these literati was Rai San’yō, the author and calligrapher of the Chinese poem on the theme of “Plum Blossoms Reflected in Water,” which is brushed on the reverse of this freestanding single screen.
