1. Title: "Ornate Brackets of Westbury House, Long Island: A Blend of Beauty and Mystery" This trio of photographic prints showcases the intricately designed brackets adorning the terrace of Westbury House, located on Long Island, New York. Dating back to circa 1904, these stunning images offer a glimpse into the opulent past of this historic estate. Designed by the renowned architect George Abraham Crawley, these brackets are a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic vision of the early 20th century. Two of the prints feature brackets adorned with intricate flora designs, evoking the natural beauty of the surrounding Long Island landscape. The delicate curves and intricate details of the scrollwork are a feast for the eyes, reflecting the elegance and refinement of the era. The third print, however, offers a striking contrast to the other two, as it portrays a bracket with a gruesome head design. The reason behind this macabre detail remains a mystery, adding an air of intrigue and fascination to these historic images. These photographs, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offer a unique window into the past, inviting us to explore the rich history and architectural marvels of Westbury House and the bygone era it represents. Whether admired for their beauty or their enigma, these brackets continue to captivate and inspire, serving as a reminder of the enduring allure of Long Island's historic estates.
