  1. Victorian of the era was so heavy, luscious in their individuality, select pieces would offer such value, had they a canvas less layered. They obviously fed their desires in "Maximism" and were so highly influenced by Queen Victoria, Imagine their first taste of the Prarie Style/Frank Lloyd Wright, Art Deco, and then the evolved Frank Lloyd Wright works that became the MidCentury Modern Influences like "Falling Water", etc. He absolutely recognized his own Genius, was Forthright in his Designs, and trumped the various Era Decor go-Tom's with his own Designs. I still giggle when I think about his reference to his era Interior Decorators as "Interior Desicrators" They didn't have the vision nor the possibilities his works laid the foundation for in the following eras. He was aged of our time, nevermind his own. Fabulous Presentation !

  2. They paid 0.00 in taxes, no benefits to employees and worked them 7 days a week, exception Westinghouse. They have value for the dollar, far more actual Journalist Reporting Facts, far less Ownership of the Tools, News Media and the "Federal Reserve Bank Corporation" (privately owned), did not exist, our currency was under the Treasury where it was intended. There was a really short middle class and everyone had the advantage of "an expectation of privacy". .... Until about 1913 forward It was another world prior to Advertising and PR, became part of Journalism. What is now heavily used in "Commentary News" 24hr Cable News ... for profits. (My areas of degree are 8n History, Journalism, Sociology) Maybe I should have majored in Art, and been unaware. lol 😉 It can always get way better! 😘
