About this listen
The children of the Gilded Age were seen but not heard. Until now!
Listener favorite Esther Crain, author and creator of Ephemeral New York joins The Gilded Gentleman for a look at the world of children during the Gilded Age.
As she shared in the episode “Invisible Magicians: Domestic Servants in Gilded Age New York” with writings by actual servants, Esther has uncovered documents written in children’s own voices that capture their world and reality. From a 12-year-old boy in Gilded Age Harlem to a teenage girl on what would become Manhattan’s Upper East Side, we can finally meet children who are both seen and heard.
A special replay from The Gilded Gentleman podcast, in honor of the upcoming season of HBO's The Gilded Age.
And listen to The Gilded Gentleman podcast for a wide range of shows about America's Gilded Age including this week's show on Frederick Douglass.
