Comment: Agree to legal disclaimer at the Cultural Resource Information System, proceed as guest, then use the URL or link given above. The text gives a brief biography of Peppino Mangravite and a brief description of his murals "1640--Hempstead Settlers, Dutch and English, Bargain for Land from Native Chiefs and Erect a Stockade" and "1919--English Dirigible R34 Delivering Air Mail to U.S. at Hempstead Flying Field". These murals were the first two of a planned series of five murals entitled "Series of Incidents in Hempstead History Dealing with the Movement of People, Mail and Mechandize, on Sea, Land and Air." The other three murals, which were to involve a Revolutionary War scene of 1775, a view of steam ferries and a stage coach in 1850, were never painted. No dimensions are given.
Comment: Good black and white photographs of a few post office murals, including ones from Hempstead, New York and the New York City General Post Office.
