Eliza Pratt Greatorex (1819-1897) was America's most famous woman
artist in the mid-nineteenth century, but today she is all but
forgotten. Beginning with her Irish roots, this biography brings
her art and life back into focus. Breaking conventions for female
artists at that time, Greatorex specialized in landscapes and
streetscapes, traveling from the Hudson River to the Colorado
Rockies and across Europe and North Africa. Her crowning
achievement, a monumental tome of drawings and narratives titled
Old New York, awakened the public to the destruction of the city's
architectural heritage during the post-Civil War era. Exploring
Greatorex's fierce ambition and creative path, Katherine Manthorne
reveals how her success at forging an independent career in a
male-dominated world shaped American gender politics, visual
culture, and urban consciousness.
