Originally published in 1883 to 1884, Artistic Houses comprised more than 200 photographs of the interiors of the homes of the well-to-do, with commentary on the woodwork, wall coverings, color schemes, and other aspects of interior decor. Today, historians consider Artistic Houses the best source of information and illustrations for private houses in major Eastern cities in the early 1880s. Although its authorship is not certain, the text is generally attributed to noted author and art critic George William Sheldon.
This volume retains all ofthe photographs from the original two-volume work; the text, however, has been replaced with a version specially written for this edition. In addition to an introductory essay on the period's social and esthetic trends, extensive captions for each plate include most of the valuable information from Sheldon's descriptions plus biographical comments on the homeowners and their families, comments on paintings and sculptures, present condition of the houses, and locations.
Over 200 photographs of 97 grand buildings include rare photographs of the New York homes of Hamilton Fish and Ulysses S. Grant; multiple views of the Henry Villard house, now part of the Helmsley Palace Hotel in Manhattan; rooms from William H. Vanderbilt's Fifth Avenue residence; interiors from J. Pierpont Morgan's Madison Avenue home; the Marshall Field house in Chicago, and many others. Here are richly paneled rooms that rivaled the baronial halls of European castles, miniature art galleries, magnificent tapestries, plush draperies, and brilliant chandeliers. With its thorough scholarship and wealth of detail, this impressive survey offers not only inside views of the homes of the rich and powerful families during the Gilded Age but also fascinating insights into the social history and architectural development of the United States."

This bunny honestly is the best dog toy. It is adorable and durable at the same time. I like toys for my dogs that are cute but most of all can honestly stand up to the challenge of hours of play. It has become my dogs favorite toy very quickly and is holding up beautifully. Get your dog this they will love it. This toy is so cool that I have purchase a couple to give to my friends for their dogs.

Amazing!
Style: Bunny
This bunny toy is adorable and a big hit with my dog! The no stuffing design means no mess, and the squeaker keeps her engaged without being obnoxious. It’s soft but sturdy enough for tugging and chewing, and the size works well even for bigger dogs. Great quality for the price will definitely buy another style.

Keeps them happy.
Style: Bunny
The interactive aspect is perfect: I squeak it to get her attention for fetch, she enjoys a solo dental chew session gnawing on the durable ears and body, and then we play tug-of-war with the long rope legs. It satisfies all her instincts in one cute, bunny-shaped package. The material is soft on her gums but tough enough to withstand serious chewing. Her teeth look cleaner and she's happily worn out. Total win!

Stuffless dog toy! Good buy 😊
Style: Bunny
My dog loves to tear her toys apart usually it’s to get all of the stuffing out. Lol so we decided to try some toys without the stuffing and this was definitely a good buy. She loves it. Very soft and she has not ruined it in almost 3 months. Very cute toy and happy with the company would buy again. Quality is very strong for a dog that tears toys up in a day. lol🤣
