Boyle Year 1907 Type Bronze Dimensions 300 cm × 99 cm × 97 cm (118 in × 39 in × 38 in) Location Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States 39°57'11.28?N 75°9'50.34?W Roman Bronze Works, now operated as Roman Bronze Studios, is a bronze foundry in New York. Established in 1897 by Riccardo Bertelli, it was the first American foundry to specialize in the lost-wax casting method,[1] and was the country's pre-eminent art foundry during the American Renaissance (ca. 1876-1917).[citation needed] In 1908, the foundry built a home and studio for sculptor Harry Merwin Shrady at White Plains, New York. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 as the Leo Friedlander Studio.[2] Long a sub-contractor to Louis Comfort Tiffany's Tiffany Studios, the foundry moved in 1927 to Tiffany's red brick factory in Corona, Queens, New York.[3] The foundry's mold makers, casters, chasers and finishers, and patinaters cast sculptures from plaster and terra cotta models provided by sculptors. They also scaled down monumental and other finished works for editions of collectors' bronzes, allowing works by Daniel Chester French, Henry Augustus Lukeman [4] and Augustus Saint-Gaudens to ornament a private library or drawing room. >From 1898, Frederic Remington worked exclusively with Roman Bronze Works, as did Charles M. Russell. Remington bronzes were being cast by Roman Bronze Works as late as the 1980s.[5] Roman Bronze Works was purchased in 1946 by Salvatore Schiavo, whose father had worked at the foundry since 1902. His nephew, Philip J. Schiavo, the grandson of the first Schiavo, was the president of the foundry until its closing.[5] The Heisman Trophy was originally made by Dieges & Clust in New York (and later Providence, Rhode Island) from its inception in 1935 until 1980, when Dieges and Clust was sold to Herff Jones.[citation needed] However, for a time until at least 2008, the Roman Bronze Works cast the Heisman Trophy statues awarded annually to the best college football player and his university.[6] After the foundry closed, original plaster models of major works by American artists Frederic Remington, Daniel Chester French, Charles Russell, Bessie Potter Vonnoh and Anna Hyatt Huntington were auctioned off in New York on September 17, 1988.[7] Some of the molds were moved to warehouses in Copiague, New York, under the aegis of American Art Restoration, Inc.[8] The business archives were preserved and are now at the Amon Carter Museum Library in Fort Worth, Texas.[9] In 2002, Schiffer Publishing released a book about Roman Bronze Works, A Century of American Sculpture; The Roman Bronze Works Foundry, written by Lucy D. Rosenfeld and based on the firm's ledgers and archival photographs at the museum. The foundry was reopened[when?] as Roman Bronze Studios by Brain Ramnarine, who apprenticed and worked at Roman Bronze Works with Salvatore and Philip Schiavo.[citation needed] [edit] Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

She is an aunt of my husband. In the 1940 census she is listed living with her husband Harry and two children, James and Mary. Both children have died. Harry died shortly after 1940 and Margaret remarried an Arthur Miller, a jeweler who worked in Manhattan. I have tried every site I could find on line. An old family member thinks she may have died in the late sixties about 1969. Harry died in 1941 and is buried at the Long Island National Cemetery. Margaret was born in 1893 to Michael and Mary Bayard in Brooklyn. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
