Jean Francois Millet: 1814 – 1875, was a Barbizon School painter known for showing in his works the devoutness of French farm laborers.
Judd Co.
Morton Judd established the Judd Manufacturing Company of Wallingford, Connecticut in 1830. In 1855, his three sons joined him in business and the company’s name was changed to M. Judd & Sons. It was during this time that the company became well known for their still and mechanical bank production. Hubert Judd struck out on his own to start the H.L.Judd Company in Brooklyn, NY. In 1886, H.L.Judd took control of the Wallingford plant. In the early 1910s, they began to produce a decorative art metal line of fine-quality sand castings in iron, brass and bronze.
