Opulent Interiors of the Gilded Age includes all 203 photographs taken in 1883-84 of Interior Views of homes during the Victorian era. They were taken by D. Appleton and Company of New York. The photographs were originally published in "Artistic Houses".
Artistic Houses is considered by historians as the best source of information and illustrations for the private town house in the major Eastern cities of the United States during the early 1880's.
This work contains an introductory essay concerned with those who lived in these houses, their wealth and interest in art, written by James Turner and Arnold Lewis. The captions of each of the illustrations were written by Lewis and Steve McQuillan. The captions include the valuable descriptive information and biographical comments on the owners and their families.
