Pets and the City [ZOOM]

Join The New York Historical (formerly New-York Historical Society) for Pets and the City – an exploration of the visual history of New Yorkers and their animal companions over the last two and a half centuries, tracing the ever-evolving relationship between Gotham’s people and its animals as the city grew increasingly urbanized and industrialized. The recent exhibition surveys the evolution of pets – from their presence among the Lenape and Haudenosaunee and the hunting culture of settlers through their insinuation into the urban family and onto the pampered pets of today.
