Significant Clay: Iconography and the Heroes Beneath Our Streets
Author(s): Alyssa Loorya
Year: 2018
Summary
First blood of the American Revolution was spilled in New York City, a place long known for its diversity and strong political opinions. Past, present, and future New Yorkers have advertised their allegiances in various forms from development and architecture to consumer choices. The advertisement of socio-political beliefs and national allegiance can be found in New York’s City Hall Park and South Street Seaport. Following the Revolution potters in both Britain and China quickly helped to foster the new American sense of patriotism by producing wares exhibiting early American iconography and commemorating America’s first heroes.
