Dr. Katherine Manthorne of the CUNY Graduate Center doctoral program in art history will deliver a talk on two remarkable women: the scandalous Eliza Jumel, celebrity, art collector, briefly the wife of Aaron Burr, and resident of the historic Morris Mansion that served as Washington’s Headquarters during the battle of Harlem Heights; and artist Eliza Pratt Greatorex, who portrayed the house in her book Old New York from Bloomingdale to the Battery.
Manthorne’s biography of Greatorex is being published by University of California Press, and is due out this fall.
