Their dinner, on the table and being served, is exclusively cooked vegetables. Levering has created some wonderful details in this illustration. The lower border decoration is anthropomorphic with weeping vegetables (both canned and fresh) interspersed with happily dancing turkeys and an outer edge to the border of raised forks. In the illustration proper, two of the dinner plates have a border design that appears to be cauliflower florets. In 1896 Massachusetts\u2019 Dedham Pottery opened making white-glazed pottery and plates that initially had a decorative border in cobalt blue of crouching rabbits circling the edge. Eventually the decorations included a variety of other animals such as turtles, elephants, and chicks. Levering\u2019s twist on Dedham Pottery designs is to make the border vegetable instead of animal. The last humorous detail may be seen on hanging on the far wall. In the illustration you can see a picture of a tree stump with a hatchet buried in it, referring to the normally contentious behavior between man and turkey that typifies Thanksgiving Day. &#8211; more here..<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-thanksgiving-the-turkeys-are-free-but-not-the-vegetables\/#Life_magazine_%E2%80%93_http_enwikipediaorgwikiLife_magazine\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-14\"  >Life magazine &#8211;\u00a0http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Life_(magazine)<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-thanksgiving-the-turkeys-are-free-but-not-the-vegetables\/#Life_magazine_was_founded_in_1883_in_New_York_It_was_a_partnership_between_John_Ames_Mitchell_and_Andrew_Miller\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-15\"  >Life magazine was founded in 1883, in New York .

A Harvard educated architect who studied at the Ecole Des Beaux Arts in Paris, Mr. Mitchell founded the original Life magazine in 1883. Much more like today&#8217;s New Yorker than the Life of the later 20th Century, Mitchell&#8217;s magazine discovered and encouraged many fine writers and artists at the turn of the 20th Century, such as Charles Dana Gibson, the illustrator who created the Gibson Girl. It covered the literary scene as well as political and social issues. He and Horace Greeley of The New York Herald Tribune founded the Fresh Air Fund, which for many years operated the Life Fresh Air camp for city kids on the site of today&#8217;s Branchville School. Mr. Mitchell penned a half dozen novels, the most famous of which, Amos Judd (1895), was made into the 1922 silent film, The Young Rajah, starring Rudolph Valentino. Life was purchased in 1936 by another Ridgefielder, Henry Luce (q.v.), who turned it into a picture magazine. The headquarters of Mitchell&#8217;s Life is now The Herald Square Hotel in New York, a gift to Mitchell from Charles Dana Gibson in appreciation of the publisher\u2019s having seen and developed his potential as an artist. &#8211; more here.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-thanksgiving-the-turkeys-are-free-but-not-the-vegetables\/#i-2\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-26\"  >.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-thanksgiving-the-turkeys-are-free-but-not-the-vegetables\/#John_Ames_Mitchell_with_Horace_Greeley\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-27\"  >John Ames Mitchell with Horace Greeley<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-thanksgiving-the-turkeys-are-free-but-not-the-vegetables\/#During_the_1870s_Horace_Greeley_and_John_Ames_Mitchell_organized_the_Fresh_Air_Fund_a_program_to_provide_summer_vacations_for_women_and_children_from_urban_areas_The_Fresh_Air_Fund_established_in_1877_provided_summer_vacations_for_New_York_City_school_children_Camp_Hidden_Valley_was_created_by_the_Fresh_Air_Fund_to_provide_for_children_with_polio_related_disabilities_Fresh_Air_Fund_related_camps_still_in_operation_include_Camp_Algonquin_organized_in_1907_by_the_United_Charities_in_Chicago_and_Incarnation_Camp_Inc_established_by_the_Episcopal_Church_in_1886_Mitchell_later_established_camps_in_Branchville_Connecticut_and_Sussex_County_New_Jersey_during_the_1880s_Trail_Blazer_Camp_was_originally_established_by_John_Ames_Mitchell_editor_of_Life_Magazine_in_1887_During_the_mid_1940s_land_was_acquired_in_New_Jersey_and_permanent_camp_facilities_were_established_Trail_Blazer_Camp_continues_to_operate_and_provide_camping_opportunities_to_inner_city_youth_supported_by_the_private_and_public_financial_support_%E2%80%93_more_here\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-28\"  >During the 1870s Horace Greeley and John Ames Mitchell organized the Fresh Air Fund, a program to provide summer vacations for women and children from urban areas.

Fresh Air Fund related camps, still in operation, include Camp Algonquin, organized in 1907 by the United Charities in Chicago, and Incarnation Camp, Inc., established by the Episcopal Church in 1886. Mitchell later established camps in Branchville, Connecticut, and Sussex County, New Jersey, during the 1880s. Trail Blazer Camp was originally established by John Ames Mitchell, editor of Life Magazine, in 1887. During the mid 1940s land was acquired in New Jersey and permanent camp facilities were\u00a0established. Trail Blazer Camp continues to operate and provide camping opportunities to inner city youth, supported by the private and public financial support. &#8211; more here.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-thanksgiving-the-turkeys-are-free-but-not-the-vegetables\/#i-3\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-29\"  >.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-thanksgiving-the-turkeys-are-free-but-not-the-vegetables\/#Albert_Levering_b_1869_%E2%80%93_d_1929_age_60_in_New_York_was_born_in_Hope_Indiana_the_son_of_Levi_L_Levering_a_carpenter_The_family_later_relocated_to_Kansas_City_Missouri_Levering_studied_architecture_and_practiced_that_profession_for_eight_years_in_San_Antonio_Texas_He_later_abandoned_architecture_to_become_a_newspaper_artist_Levering_worked_for_newspapers_in_Kansas_City_Missouri_as_well_as_the_Minneapolis_Times_and_Chicago_Tribune_In_1896_he_moved_to_New_York_and_worked_on_the_staff_of_the_New_York_Journal_Tribune_and_Herald-Tribune_He_subsequently_worked_as_a_book_and_magazine_illustrator_on_the_staff_of_Puck_Life_Colliers_and_Cosmopolitan_By_1903_he_had_a_regular_full-page_feature_in_Harpers_Weekly\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-30\"  >Albert Levering (b. 1869 &#8211; d. 1929 age 60 in New York) was born in Hope, Indiana, the son of Levi L.

He later abandoned architecture to become a newspaper artist. Levering worked for newspapers in Kansas City, Missouri as well as the Minneapolis Times and Chicago Tribune. In 1896 he moved to New York and worked on the staff of the New York Journal, Tribune and Herald-Tribune.

Their dinner, on the table and being served, is exclusively cooked vegetables. Levering has created some wonderful details in this illustration. The lower border decoration is anthropomorphic with weeping vegetables (both canned and fresh) interspersed with happily dancing turkeys and an outer edge to the border of raised forks. In the illustration proper, two of the dinner plates have a border design that appears to be cauliflower florets. In 1896 Massachusetts\u2019 Dedham Pottery opened making white-glazed pottery and plates that initially had a decorative border in cobalt blue of crouching rabbits circling the edge. Eventually the decorations included a variety of other animals such as turtles, elephants, and chicks. Levering\u2019s twist on Dedham Pottery designs is to make the border vegetable instead of animal. The last humorous detail may be seen on hanging on the far wall. In the illustration you can see a picture of a tree stump with a hatchet buried in it, referring to the normally contentious behavior between man and turkey that typifies Thanksgiving Day. &#8211; more <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rockwell-center.org\/exploring-illustration\/sympathy-for-the-turkey\/\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\" title=\"Albert Levering\u2019s Thanksgiving illustration for Life from 1901 shows a man and a turkey seated at their dinner table with napkins tied around their necks.

A Harvard educated architect who studied at the Ecole Des Beaux Arts in Paris, Mr. Mitchell founded the original Life magazine in 1883. Much more like today&#8217;s New Yorker than the Life of the later 20th Century, Mitchell&#8217;s magazine discovered and encouraged many fine writers and artists at the turn of the 20th Century, such as Charles Dana Gibson, the illustrator who created the Gibson Girl. It covered the literary scene as well as political and social issues. He and Horace Greeley of The New York Herald Tribune founded the Fresh Air Fund, which for many years operated the Life Fresh Air camp for city kids on the site of today&#8217;s Branchville School. Mr. Mitchell penned a half dozen novels, the most famous of which, Amos Judd (1895), was made into the 1922 silent film, The Young Rajah, starring Rudolph Valentino. Life was purchased in 1936 by another Ridgefielder, Henry Luce (q.v.), who turned it into a picture magazine. The headquarters of Mitchell&#8217;s Life is now The Herald Square Hotel in New York, a gift to Mitchell from Charles Dana Gibson in appreciation of the publisher\u2019s having seen and developed his potential as an artist. &#8211; more <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jackfsanders.tripod.com\/M-R.htm\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external nofollow\">here<\/a><\/span>.<\/h4>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i-2\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"John_Ames_Mitchell_with_Horace_Greeley\"><\/span><strong>John Ames Mitchell with Horace Greeley<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4>During the 1870s Horace Greeley and John Ames Mitchell organized the Fresh Air Fund, a program to provide summer vacations for women and children from urban areas. The Fresh Air Fund, established in 1877, provided summer vacations for New York City school children. Camp Hidden Valley was created by the Fresh Air Fund to provide for children with polio related disabilities. Fresh Air Fund related camps, still in operation, include Camp Algonquin, organized in 1907 by the United Charities in Chicago, and Incarnation Camp, Inc., established by the Episcopal Church in 1886. Mitchell later established camps in Branchville, Connecticut, and Sussex County, New Jersey, during the 1880s. Trail Blazer Camp was originally established by John Ames Mitchell, editor of Life Magazine, in 1887. During the mid 1940s land was acquired in New Jersey and permanent camp facilities were\u00a0established. Trail Blazer Camp continues to operate and provide camping opportunities to inner city youth, supported by the private and public financial support. &#8211; more<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.deldot.gov\/archaeology\/CampWright\/rpt1\/pdf\/9_HistSurvey.pdf\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\" title=\"During the 1870s Horace Greeley and John Ames Mitchell organized the Fresh Air Fund, a program to provide summer vacations for women and children from urban areas.......\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external nofollow\"> here<\/a><\/span>.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i-3\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Albert_Levering_b_1869_%E2%80%93_d_1929_age_60_in_New_York_was_born_in_Hope_Indiana_the_son_of_Levi_L_Levering_a_carpenter_The_family_later_relocated_to_Kansas_City_Missouri_Levering_studied_architecture_and_practiced_that_profession_for_eight_years_in_San_Antonio_Texas_He_later_abandoned_architecture_to_become_a_newspaper_artist_Levering_worked_for_newspapers_in_Kansas_City_Missouri_as_well_as_the_Minneapolis_Times_and_Chicago_Tribune_In_1896_he_moved_to_New_York_and_worked_on_the_staff_of_the_New_York_Journal_Tribune_and_Herald-Tribune_He_subsequently_worked_as_a_book_and_magazine_illustrator_on_the_staff_of_Puck_Life_Colliers_and_Cosmopolitan_By_1903_he_had_a_regular_full-page_feature_in_Harpers_Weekly\"><\/span><strong>Albert Levering (b. 1869 &#8211; d. 1929 age 60 in New York)<\/strong> was born in Hope, Indiana, the son of Levi L.

He later abandoned architecture to become a newspaper artist. Levering worked for newspapers in Kansas City, Missouri as well as the Minneapolis Times and Chicago Tribune. In 1896 he moved to New York and worked on the staff of the New York Journal, Tribune and Herald-Tribune. He subsequently worked as a book and magazine illustrator on the staff of Puck, Life, Collier&#8217;s, and Cosmopolitan.

I would now suggest that it would be a most helpful step if individuals who favour this idea would lend their names to strengthen the appeal that will have to be made to some Public Institution for the use of a room, and if Societies and Journals would also express their agreement. Such a Memorial would be so personally suitable, in view of Mr. Bell\u2019s many and long continued services, and so valuable to the cause of humane progress in general, that it is difficult to see how any objection could be made to it: the sole question is whether the initial difficulties can be overcome.
