Breakers Tours In 1896 Henry Flagler opened his second hotel in Palm Beach, which he named the Palm Beach Inn. The Palm Beach Inn was in those days a less expensive alternative to Flagler’s first Palm Beach hotel, the Hotel Royal Poinciana, which soon became the world’s largest resort. However, in 1904 the Palm Beach Inn was completely rebuilt and its name changed to The Breakers. The new more luxurious hotel attracted a Who’s Who of clientele, from America’s wealthy elite to United States Presidents and European nobility. In 1925 The Breakers was again entirely rebuilt, this time by Flagler’s heirs, to the highest standards of luxury. Designed by the highly acclaimed architectural firm of Schultze and Weaver and modeled after the Villa Medici in Rome, this version of The Breakers immediately eclipsed the Hotel Royal Poinciana, setting a new standard of resort luxury that has remained unsurpassed for nearly a century. The combined tour of the Flagler Museum and The Breakers Hotel emphasizes the shared history between two of Palm Beach’s most important landmarks. From Henry Flagler’s vision for Palm Beach to the classical influences of Beaux Arts architecture, the tour program provides Museum visitors and Hotel guests with a comprehensive understanding of Henry Flagler’s legacy in Palm Beach and the state of Florida. For more information about the combined House and Hotel Tour, please visit www.FlaglerMuseum.us.
Museum Receives Grants The Flagler Museum was recently awarded several grants for upcoming projects and programs. This financial support at local, state, and national levels confirms the important role the Museum plays in educating the public about Henry Flagler, Florida’s history, and America’s Gilded Age. The Max and Victoria Dreyfus Foundation has again provided funding for the 2016 Whitehall Lecture Series, celebrating its 31st season next winter. The Museum was awarded its third Small Business Partner Grant from VISIT FLORIDA, the State’s official tourism marketing corporation. This funding will be used to promote Seasonal Programming during early 2016 in The New York Times. The Florida Department of State’s Division of Cultural Affairs once again awarded the Museum a grant in support of Education and Curatorial projects. At the county level, the Museum was awarded the largest Tourist Development Council grant among cultural organizations, in recognition of its continued success in promoting cultural tourism.
Fall Exhibit October 13, 2015 - January 3, 2016 Puck, a pioneering magazine that helped change the character of American humor, was created by Austrian immigrant and cartoonist Joseph Keppler, Sr. and printer Adolph Schwarzmann. Keppler immigrated to the United States in 1867 and established several short lived humor magazines while living in St. Louis. In 1872 Keppler moved to New York, where he met Adolph Schwarzmann, a German immigrant, while working for the German language edition of Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper. Schwarzmann established his own printing firm in 1875, and with Keppler began publication of Puck as a German language magazine in September, 1876. Named after Shakespeare’s mischievous sprite in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the magazine’s masthead featured the character Puck and his famous observation, “What fools these mortals be!” The first English language issue was published on March 14, 1877. Puck continued in English for forty years, publishing weekly from 1877 to 1917. Each 32-page issue was packed with lavish cartoons, color lithographs, and biting satire about everything from politics to fashion and domesticity. One of the reasons Puck stood out from other American humor publications was its use of the new technology of color lithography, a process popularized in America after the Civil War that made possible mass produced, high quality color printing at low cost. Each issue of Puck included brightly colored front and back covers and a large color centerfold cartoon. Creating a color revolution in the American magazine world was not the magazine’s only claim to fame, however. Puck greatly influenced the growth of the genre of humor
in America, and employed talented artists who made major contributions to the field of illustration and the development of modern cartoon art. In 1893 Puck was invited to World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago to provide an object lesson in the art of lithography. Keppler and Schwarzmann erected a building on the Midway, allowing visitors to observe the process of printing a special 14-page weekly World’s Fair Puck edition that year, while also publishing regular weekly issues in New York. In 1914 Puck was sold to Nathan Straus, Jr., though by this time the magazine was in decline and circulation was barely 12,500 per week. The advent of World War I further affected the magazine, and by March, 1917, Straus had sold Puck to William Randolph Hearst, someone the magazine had once vilified for his brand of journalism. Hearst converted Puck to a monthly publication in March, 1918, and then stopped publication altogether in September of that year. A total of 2,121 numbered issues, in 81 volumes, of Puck were produced during its forty years. With a Wink and a Nod: Cartoonists of the Gilded Age will examine the history of Puck and American humor through 73 original drawings created for Puck from the collection of Jean S. and Frederic A. Sharf, supplemented with published cartoons and vintage issues of Puck. Organized by the Flagler Museum, With a Wink and a Nod will run from October 13, 2015, through January 3, 2016. An illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition.
Gallery Talk December 1, 2015 12:15 p.m. - exhibition gallery Free with Museum Admission Join Flagler Museum’s Assistant Curator, Janel Trull, as she gives an in depth look into the political and humor cartoons of Puck magazine.
With a Wink and a Nod: Cartoonists of the Gilded Age
A cartoon by Louis M. Glackens (American, 18661933), “The Boston Coffee Party,” published in Puck, September 6, 1905, is a reaction to wasteful appropriations and Congress’ recommendation that a tax on coffee be introduced as a way of increasing revenue. Collection of Jean S. and Frederic A. Sharf.
Artist Louis Dalrymple (American, 1866-1905) tackled issues of modern womanhood and family in “Irony,” published in Puck’s Library “Jim-Cracks”, April 1896. The cartoon depicts a man who marries to settle into a quiet family life, but ends up at home with the children while his wife is out every night fighting for women’s rights. Collection of Jean S. and Frederic A. Sharf.
In “The Theatre Conversationalist,” published in Puck, January 29, 1890, Samuel D. Ehrhart (American, 18621937) proposes a comical solution to a distraction that is still common today. The cartoon parodies high culture, fashion, and invention - topics common in Puck’s pages. Collection of Jean S. and Frederic A. Sharf. With a Wink and a Nod is sponsored by the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, the Tourist Development Council, the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, and the Florida Department of State Division of Cultural Affairs.
“Fair Warning” by Samuel D. Ehrhart (American, 1862-1933), published in Puck, June 7, 1911, is a commentary on corruption among New York City policemen in the early 20th century. Collection of Jean S. and Frederic A. Sharf.
Joseph Keppler, Sr. (Austrian-American, 1838-1894), a founder of Puck, created “Hurrah for the Red, White and Blue!” as the patriotic Fourth of July centerfold in World’s Fair Puck, July 3, 1893, published at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago.

Winter Exhibition: Beauty’s Legacy On view January 26 - April 17, 2016 Beauty’s Legacy: Gilded Age Portraits in America examines the remarkable critical and popular resurgence of portraiture in the United States during the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. With the amassing of great fortunes founded on industrial expansion came the desire to document the appearance of those who propelled and benefited from burgeoning wealth, echoing a cultural pattern reaching back to the colonial era. Organized by the New-York Historical Society, the exhibition —presenting more than 60 works of art as well as period photographs and graphic materials —will investigate the strong cultural and social legacy of the American portrait tradition. Beauty’s Legacy will include portraits by such Gilded Age artists as William-Adolphe Bouguereau, James Carroll Beckwith, James Montgomery Flagg, George Peter Alexander Healy, Raimundo de Madrazo, John Singer Sargent, and Anders Zorn. Beauty’s Legacy is sponsored by Northern Trust, the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, the Tourist Development Council, the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, The Palm Beach Post, and Florida Department of State Division of Cultural Affairs.

New Orford Quartet - January 12 In July 2009 the New Orford String Quartet arose from the fame and tradition of its glorious predecessor, giving its first concert for a sold-out audience at the Orford Arts Centre. Hailed for their “ravishingly beautiful tone” as well as their “extraordinary technical skills and musicianship”, the members of the New Orford String Quartet are all principal players in the Montreal and Toronto Symphony Orchestras. In the short time since its creation the New Orford Quartet has seen astonishing success, giving annual concerts at the Orford Arts Centre for national CBC broadcast and receiving unanimous critical acclaim, including two Opus Awards for Concert of the Year. In 2011 the New Orford String Quartet released its debut album of the final quartets of Schubert and Beethoven on Bridge Records to international acclaim. Hailed as one of the top CDs of 2011 by La Presse and CBC In Concert and nominated for a JUNO Award in 2012, critics have described the recording as a “performance of true greatness and compelling intensity... stunning!” (Audio Video Club of Atlanta), “flawless... a match made in heaven!” - Classical Music Sentinel, “a performance of rare intensity.” - Audiophile Audition and “nothing short of electrifying... listen and weep.” - The Toronto Star
Vega Quartet - January 26 The Vega String Quartet, Quartet in Residence at Emory University, is creating and cultivating a new generation of passionate and educated chamber music lovers. The New York Times raved that their “playing that had a kind of clean intoxication to it, pulling the listener along...the musicians took real risks in their music making...” and “The music simply took over and created a space of its own. The musicians played with a deceptive simplicity and fluidity that made difficult passages seem childlike in their straightforwardness. Big, strong playing...excellent ensemble. Crisp, clear precision.” The Los Angeles Times praised their “triumphant L.A. debut”. The quartet has toured throughout Asia, Europe and North America and captured four of the top six prizes at the 1999 Bordeaux String Quartet Competition (including the international music critics’ prize) as well as top prizes at the Coleman Chamber Ensemble Competition, the Carmel Chamber Music Competition, and the National Society of Arts and Letters String Quartet Competition. “The music simply took over and created a space of its own. The musicians played with a deceptive simplicity and fluidity that made difficult passages seem childlike in their straight forwardness. Big, strong playing...excellent ensemble. Crisp, clear precision.” - The New York Times
Neave Trio - February 9 ‘Neave’ is a Gaelic word, which, according to this youthful piano trio’s web-site, means ‘bright and radiant’. The Trio, whose members hail from the USA, Scotland and Russia, has enjoyed international success, performing across the United States, South America, UK and Europe in some of the world’s finest concert halls. Hailed by critics as “absolutely stunning” and nominated as the “Best of Boston” by the Boston Phoenix, the Neave Trio (Anna Williams, violin. Mikhail Veselov, cello, Toni James, piano) is the Trio-in-Residence at San Diego State University. “...if I’ve claimed repeatedly that we are blessed to be living in a golden age of. . . chamber music making, let me up the ante by saying that we have exceeded the gold standard and have now moved on to platinum. Yes, the Neave Trio is that good. . . This quite simply is the most rapturously beautiful performance of Fauré’s Trio I’ve ever heard.” - Fanfare Magazine.
Bennewitz Quartet - February 23 Founded in 1998 and named after violinist Antonín Bennewitz, who was a seminal figure in the creation of the Czech violin school, the Quartet has performed in the Czech Republic and in major venues throughout Europe. The Queen of Spain presented them with the diploma for outstanding student performance at the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofia in Madrid. A year later they were awarded the Czech Chamber Music Society Prize. “...there are string quartets, and there are string quartets, but the Bennewitz String Quartet remains in a class of its own. The powerful impression these four fine young musicians made in Carmel two years ago was doubly confirmed and reinforced by their splendid performance last night at All Saints Church in Carmel.” - Peninsula Reviews.
Meccore String Quartet - March 8 Established in 2007, the Meccore String Quartet is one of Poland’s most compelling young ensembles. For many years they have been a treat for music lovers in Europe and America, and have performed in the most important music festivals throughout Europe. The Quartet has received numerous awards during prestigious chamber music competitions. In 2012 and again in 2014 it received the Irene SteelsWilsing Stiftung Award. In April 2012 Meccore won a second prize, as well as awards for the best performance of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s and Joseph Haydn’s quartets, and for the performance of Brett Dean’s composition at the Wigmore Hall String Quartet Competition in London.

Collecting French Furniture During the Gilded Age F. Carey Howlett, President and Chief Conservator of F. Carey Howlett and Associates of Callao, Virginia, will deliver a lecture on Collecting French Furniture during the Gilded Age.

Throughout this year, the suite of historic French-style furniture from Whitehall’s Music Room has undergone extensive conservation. On Tuesday, December 15 at 6:00 pm, the Museum will present a public lecture about Whitehall’s French furnishings in the context of Gilded Age furniture collecting. Whitehall and the Gilded Age Taste for French Furniture, presented in the French-style Grand Ballroom, will also review the conservation project and present best practices in the care and preservation of antique furniture. The lecture will be presented by F. Carey Howlett, a conservator of furniture, decorative arts, and architectural materials, who led the recent conservation project.
Whitehall’s Music Room is furnished with two suites of French Louis XV-style seating furniture made in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. Both suites are upholstered in late nineteenth century pastoral tapestry and all retain their original water gilding, the most lavish and expensive technique used by gilders from the eighteenth century to the present. In the years before the Flagler Museum installed systems to provide a safe and controlled museum environment, the Florida climate took a toll on this elaborate French furniture. Textiles faded and became brittle, and the water gilding began to flake off, revealing the white gesso below.
Mr. Howlett, formerly the Director of Conservation for The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, has led projects at Westover Plantation, the National Academy of Sciences, the John Paul Jones Crypt, and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. The American Institute for Conservation and Getty Trust Publications has published his work, and Mr. Howlett has presented workshops and seminars at the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts, Winterthur Museum, Colonial Williamsburg’s Antiques Forum, and the Smithsonian Institution.
Mr. Howlett’s presentation will shed light on the techniques used by conservators to address deterioration and minimize the risk for future damage, all while working with Whitehall curators to preserve and interpret the mansion much as it looked to the Flaglers and their guests during the Gilded Age. The methods used to care for and preserve the furniture collections at Whitehall include straightforward, practical policies and techniques that can be adopted by any homeowner to care for prized antique furniture.
Mr. Howlett will discuss the work of Whitehall’s architects Carrère and Hastings and decorators Pottier & Stymus, and their network of “French connections,” relating the design and furnishings of Whitehall to other Gilded Age projects by these firms including the Townsend mansion in Washington, DC (1899 – 1901), now the headquarters of the Cosmos Club.
The conservation project and lecture have been made possible, in part, by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Stockman Family Foundation Trust, the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, the Palm Beach County Board of Commissioners, and the Tourist Development Council of Palm Beach County.

Upcoming Schedule of Events Fall Exhibit With a Wink and a Nod: Cartoonists of the Gilded Age October 13, 2015 - January 3, 2016 With a Wink and a Nod will examine humor during the Gilded Age through original drawings by America’s most important cartoonists for the influential humor magazine Puck. Published weekly from 1877 to 1917, Puck was packed with lavish cartoons, color lithographs, and biting satire that both commented upon and influenced issues ranging from politics to daily life. Original drawings for Puck from the collection of Jean S. and Frederic A. Sharf, published cartoons, and vintage Puck magazines will illustrate how this ground breaking magazine helped change the path of American humor. The Fall Exhibition is sponsored by the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, the Tourist Development Council, the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County and Florida Department of State Division of Cultural Affairs.

Annual Christmas Tree Lighting and Holiday Lecture 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. December 6, 2015 2:00 p.m.: Holiday Lecture - Visions of Santa Claus: Iconic Christmas Illustrations by Thomas Nast. Ryan Hyman will discuss the iconic Christmas illustrations of Thomas Nast and their significant place in America’s Christmas traditions. The Holiday Lecture is sponsored by BMO Private Bank and the Florida Department of State Division of Cultural Affairs. 3:00 p.m.: Christmas Tree lighting festivities begin with refreshments in the West Room and a visit by Santa Claus. Henry Flagler’s youngest descendants will light the 16 foot. tall Grand Hall Christmas tree. The Flaglers celebrated Christmas in a traditional Gilded Age fashion, with a tree richly decorated with ornaments, colored electric lights, and gifts for the local children. In 1902 the National Biscuit Company (NABISCO) added a string to boxes of Animal Crackers so that the boxes could be hung on the tree as Christmas ornaments. Every child, young and old, will receive a box of Animal Crackers following the Tree Lighting.
