Governor Wolf Historical Society And Chestnut Street Antiques Show To Roar Into Bath, Pa., On March 2 And 3 Two Shows To Take Place in Historic Northampton County Town By Karl Pass Mark Saturday and Sunday, March 2 and 3, on the calendar for two great primitive country shows in Bath, Pa. Held only a few miles apart in Northampton County (part of the Lehigh Valley), the Governor Wolf Historical Society (GWHS) will celebrate its 15th year and the Chestnut Street Show its ninth year. “This is an amazing historic site and show, with a delicious lunch menu. We love having fires in the fireplaces,” said Rae Tamashausky, one of the dealers at the GWHS show. A unique feature about the GWHS is the period room settings that the dealers create in the restored 1785 Ralston-McKeen House. A cut-stone, center hall home, the Ralston McKeen House with six corner fireplaces is the perfect backdrop for 18th and 19th century antiques. An added bonus during the show is the hearth cooking demonstrations. They are done with antique hearth cooking implements by GWHS members in the walk-in fireplace. Not sure what certain antique kitchen tools were meant for? This is the place to ask and see them in action. Members have also compiled a small booklet of their favorite colonial recipes, which will be for sale. On the GWHS site there are two other historic buildings that will be filled with antiques dealers, the 1785 Wolf Academy, birthplace of public education for all boys and girls in Pennsylvania, and the Monocacy Schoolhouse, which also contains the society’s museum highlighting the accomplishments of the seventh governor of Pennsylvania, Gov. George Wolf. In the Monocacy Schoolhouse, lunch will be available for sale, including homemade soups, sandwiches, fresh baked goods, and more. Just one and a half miles to the north is the Chestnut Street Show. The show is located in one of the earliest churches in Historic Bath, Christ Church, built in 1876. The main room of the show is Fellowship Hall, which has a tall, arched wooden ceiling. Homemade soup, barbecue, and fresh baked goods will be offered for sale at the Continued on page 6

“Walton Ford: Birds And Beasts Of The Studio” Exhibit Opens In April At The Morgan The Morgan Library & Museum is pleased to present “Walton Ford: Birds and Beasts of the Studio.” Opening Friday, April 12, and on view through Oct. 6, the exhibition celebrates the 2019 gift from artist Walton Ford (b. 1960) to the Morgan of 63 studies and sketches, shown publicly for the first time.
Ford is fascinated by the perception of wild animals in the human imagination, and his monumental watercolors subvert historical conventions of animal painting. This exhibition examines the artist’s working process, illuminating the role that historical, Continued on page 7
Theriault’s Landmark Doll Auction Realizes New World Record
“Miss Kantoshu” Realizes $241,000, The Highest Price Ever Paid
For A Japanese Doll
When Rosalie Whyel opened the Museum of Doll Art in the early 1990s, it was a benchmark for dolls to be recognized as important historical objects and as works of art. Roughly 30 years later, when Theriault’s conducted the auction of part one of the museum contents on Jan. 6 and 7, this benchmark was sealed, witnessing another chapter. At just under $5,000,000 in sales, it became the highest grossing doll auction in history. Part two will be held in January 2025. Throughout the featured 600 lots, there were records achieved on a continuous basis. Theriault’s president, Stuart Holbrook, was quoted as saying, “The blend of items and the love of a woman
who gave everything to the doll community for so many years created an impactful sale that will surely be remembered as the doll auction of the past 100 years.” The sale was off to a vigorous start early on when the third lot, an American black cloth doll by Continued on page 7
