Houses and gardens created in America between 1860 and 1917 were "modern" manifestations of nineteenth-century art, science, and industry, conveying cultural values in their form, function, style, and materials. Now increasing public interest in the restoration of nineteenth-century properties has provoked curiosity about their physical surroundings.

While many buildings from the period survive intact, their landscape and garden settings, in most cases, have long since disappeared. Natural cycles of growth and decay, together with man-made changes, have left only remnants of the historic landscape--a dilapidated fence post, the arching canopy of a venerable tree, some persistent spring bulbs at a dooryard.

Based on a careful study of historic photographs from museums, libraries, archives, and private collections, Gardens of the Gilded Age explains the history, design, and social function of ornamental gardens and homegrounds in New York State during the latter part of the nineteenth century.

As early as 1820, New York State had become the nation's leader in population, foreign and domestic commerce, transportation, banking, and manufacturing. New York also rook the Iead in influencing the rest of the nation in the theory and practice of horticulture and landscape gardening.

The more than one hundred photographs featured in Gardens of the Gilded Age were not selected for their aesthetic quality alone, or for their uniqueness. While including magnificent properties such as Sonnenberg, Lorenzo, and Box Hill, many show ordinary gardens which reflect the character of common people in the art and craft of garden making. Taken together, these garden photographs provide a new perspective on American customs in landscape gardening from 1860 to 1917.

Impressive Power and Convenience Right Out of the Box
I just got this electric milk frother, and after only a few uses I’m already impressed. It has strong, consistent power that turns milk into smooth, velvety foam in seconds — perfect for lattes, cappuccinos, or even mixing matcha. The LED display is a surprisingly premium touch, making it easy to see and switch between speeds. The fact that it’s rechargeable is a huge plus, and the 3‑in‑1 attachments give it more versatility than most handheld frothers. The charcoal black finish looks sleek and modern, and the build feels solid so far. Even with just a handful of uses, it’s clear this frother delivers great performance and convenience. A fantastic little upgrade to any coffee routine — definitely a 5‑star start.

I love it!
Color: Black, Size: Rechargeable
This thing works great! It holds a charge for a long time. I love that it has different attachments. I use it mainly for mixing powder into my drinks. It is very powerful. The speed is adjustable too. It feels good to hold too. It lights up when you squeeze the trigger and when it starts losing charge, the light bar gets shorter. I highly recommend it.

Perfect all-around frother, stand keeps it nice and neat on the counter within easy reach.
Color: Black, Size: Rechargeable
Rechargeable, lightweight, variable speeds and optional whisks all make this the perfect item for your kitchen. You can quickly froth milk for your coffees, whip a small batch of whip cream, and even make mug cakes with the hook attachment. The price is very compatible with the competitors, but the ease of use makes this a top choice. The variable speeds makes it much better to control than the push button ones. When you let go of the pressure switch it turns off, no need for a dedicated on-off switch. Having the pressure switch on the top makes it extremely easy to use! It fits very comfortably in the hand and with the metal stand, looks quite nice on the counter, ready to use at any time. I highly recommend this InstaWhisk!

Great product from a great company
Color: Black, Size: Rechargeable
This product works very well. There are several other whips to use also. I absolutely love the cream it makes and that is important so I can enjoy my morning coffee. I used this whisk for quite a while then all of a sudden it stopped working. I wrote to the company to explain. A few days later they sent me a beans new whisk. GREAT item and great company to work with.

Great Frother - almost too powerful
Color: Black, Size: Rechargeable
I’ve been using the Tyohur InstaWhisk milk frother for a while now, and overall I really like it—but I wouldn’t quite give it 5 stars, and honestly it’s because it might be a little too powerful for its own good. First, the positives: this frother does an amazing job. The single-button control is super easy to use, and I love that you can adjust the speed just by how much pressure you apply. It feels very intuitive, and you can really dial in the exact texture you want. Whether I’m making a latte or mixing something thicker like a protein drink, it handles everything smoothly. The performance is seriously impressive. On the lower speeds, it creates nice, silky foam, and when you turn it up, it’s incredibly fast—like café-quality foam in seconds. High-speed frothers like this are designed to create rich foam very quickly, and this one definitely delivers on that promise That said, the power is also what knocks it down a star for me. If you’re not careful (especially when using higher speeds), it can splash pretty easily. The product description says it’s designed to prevent mess with stable low-RPM operation, and that’s true if you stay on the lower settings—but once you ramp it up, you really need to keep the whisk fully submerged or start slow, or it can send milk flying out of the container
