Series 6: Graphic Materials, circa 1800s-1970s, inclusive

Sub-Series 1: Lefferts Graphic Materials contains the images that are created by, depicting, or related to the Lefferts family and the Lefferts house. Individuals have been identified where possible, but many are yet to be identified. Among the figures who have been identified are Eliza Lefferts Cooke, Louise Lefferts Downs, John Lefferts (1785-1829), James Lefferts (1855-1911) and Jacobus Lefferts (1757-1799). The sub-series also includes two photo albums with photographs of Lefferts family members. In addition to the historic Lefferts house, this sub-series also contains images of the houses of Rem Lefferts, the Lefferts Vanderbilts, the Fanning branch of the Lefferts family in Sterling, Illinois, and the Virginia home of Mary Gray Lefferts.

Sub-Series 2: Brooklyn and New York Graphic Materials contains many scenes of Brooklyn and New York City. Many of these images were likely collected by the Daughters of the American Revolution during their stewardship over the Lefferts Historical House Museum. Many of the images are reproductions of etchings which themselves reproduce earlier artwork. Many of the recreated views of Brooklyn, including views of Fulton Avenue, Flatbush Avenue, Atlantic Avenue and the Old Stone House at Gowanus, depict scenes from the early to mid 19th Century. Many of the New York city scenes depicted include the New York waterways, such as "The Narrows from Staten Island", "The Ferry at Brooklyn", the view of New York from Staten Island and the view of New York from Weehawken, NJ.

The Other Graphic Materials sub-series contains images that are not directly related to the Lefferts family and are not necessarily directly related to Brooklyn and New York City. Many of these materials were likely collected by the Fort Greene chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution during their tenure of stewardship over the Lefferts Historic House. Many of the materials in this sub-series are related to the American Revolutionary War. Of particular note are the prints of engravings depicting the Battle of Long Island. There are also several scenic prints of engravings of scenes from around New York State similar to the prints of engravings of scenes from Brooklyn and New York City in Sub-Series 2: Brooklyn and New York City Graphic Materials.
