Talk:Daniel Pabst

Who did it?

Although the tour guide at the Emlen Physick Estate said that Pabst did the woodwork – I went on a tour in September – I haven't been able to find a published source. The Cape May Times credits the woodwork and furniture to Furness,[1] but doesn't mention Pabst. == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 12:24, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

These are just the questions Robert Edwards was asking — Did Pabst make all the Furness-designed furniture and interiors? Without documentation, can we ever really know? == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 12:55, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

I did find a few clues, but have not read the books. Good, Bonnye. "Emlen Physick Estate in Cape May, NJ". Gartner, Marieke Cassia. "Re-creating an ornamental wood fence — from nothing more than an old photo". Landscapes, Streetscapes, Parks & Garden Fixtures: Fence Me In. Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts (2004). Victorian Cape May's Emlen Physick Estate: Step Back in Time to the Victorian World of Luxury and Leisure. Cape May, N.J.: Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts. Bailey, Elizabeth; Cripps, Diane; Conner, Donna (2003). Cape May's Emlen Physick Estate: A Window on Our Victorian Past. Cape May, N.J.: Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts. p. 31. "Summer City by the Sea". Emil R. Salvini, and "Gems of NJ" by Gordon Bishop. The Furness connection is clear. The source of the woodwork is only implied, so far; the connection between Furness and Pabst is clear, but the lack of direct attribution of a particular work is daunting. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:14, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your sleuthing. After the tour guide's spiel, I presumed there was no problem. Hy Myers, one of the coauthors of the catalogue from the 1973 Philadelphia Museum of Art exhibit on Furness, was the restoration architect for Emlen Physick. George Thomas, one of the other 1973 coauthors, and primary author of the 1996 Complete Works, did a book on Cape May. Let me see what he says. == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 15:42, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

No luck in the Cape May book. Furness's nephew (H.H.F. Jayne) told Hathaway in the early 1930s that a German cabinetmaker had made Furness's furniture, but he couldn't remember the man's name. That almost certainly was Pabst, but again it's almost. == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 16:09, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
