G

rowing up in a family auction business, the line between family and business was often blurred, or was simply non-existent. Family vacations were usually planned around antique shows, and road trips were always interrupted by frequent stops at junk shops, book stores and auctions. Dinner table conversation most nights drifted toward the auction business, mostly about our own company, but often our discussions were infiltrated by talk of Dick Withington, Dick Bourne and Bob Skinner.

Along with my grandfather, Robert C. Eldred, Sr., these four men were the leading New England auctioneers in the post-World War II era.

While the four were business competitors, they all shared a deep mutual respect and a friendship borne out of their mutual love of the auction business. I recall my grandfather being just as excited about besting his auctioneer friends on the golf course as he was about getting into a great estate.

With the Collection of Bob and Nancy Skinner prominently featured in this sale, my thoughts of late have wandered toward the “old days” and how much the auction business has changed. I wonder what the four auctioneers would think of half-empty auction halls and faceless customers bidding on their cell phones. While I am certain they would have embraced the opportunities technology provides, I am just as sure they would have stayed true to their roots because they understood this business is about trust earned over the years, and that a handshake or a phone call is often much more important than an email or text.

There has been a recent trend of auction houses merging in an effort to create a global brand, resulting in an increased reliance on technology and automation. What gets lost in the corporatizing of the auction house is the personal relationships between customers and all the people who make the auction house run, from specialists to accountants, shipping coordinators to exhibit staff.

At Eldred’s, we are deeply committed to preserving and honoring these personal relationships. We expanded our footprint by opening offices in Connecticut and recently in the Boston area to make it easier to interface with our clients. Of course we stay current -- and hopefully even ahead of the curve -- with advancements in auction technology, but we answer the phone when you call. You can speak directly with an appraiser, you can get a copy of an old invoice, you can make special shipping arrangements, you can even attend some in-person auctions (this sale included!).

We will never forget we are nothing without our buyers and sellers. Whether you are an online customer we may never meet in person, or you're a regular face in the crowd at one of our auctions, we aim to treat you with kindness, respect and professionalism, and we will warmly greet you at our door, whether it's a digital or actual door.

I look forward to seeing you at the auction, either online or in the saleroom. Unlike so many sales these days, we will have in-person-bidding, just the way Bob Eldred, Dick Withington, Dick Bourne and Bob Skinner would have wanted it.

4231. WILLIAM L’ENGLE New York/Massachusetts, 1885-1957 “Stonington Mill”. Signed and dated “L’E 34” within the image, to the right of the lower lettering on the mill. Oil on canvas, 24” x 30”. Framed 31.5” x 37.5”.

12,000/18,000 Provenance: The estate of the artist.

Although exhibiting frequently at New York City galleries in the 1920s and 1930s, William L’Engle is most closely associated with the modernist faction of the Provincetown Art Association, which included progressive artists B.J.O. Nordfelt, Karl Knaths, Gerrit Beneker, Blanche Lazzell and Agnes Weinrich. This work reflects the social realism style of this time. On the precipice of the WPA-era, the industrial subject of “Stonington Mill” reflects the movement’s respect for the dignity of the working man and American working-class values.

4598. ATTRIBUTED TO CLARISSA PETERS (MRS. MOSES B.) RUSSELL Massachusetts, 1809-1854 Miniature watercolor portrait on ivory of a young girl wearing a blue dress and holding an apple.

Unsigned but bearing several characteristics of Russell’s work, including the striated background with a subtle “halo” around the girl’s head, the prominent eyes, the finely delineated eyebrows and fingernails, the nearly imperceptible line at the wrist that separates the forearm from the hand, the delicate details on the dress and the vividly colored apple. Oval 2.75” x 2.25”. Framed 3” x 2.375”.

2,500/3,500 Reference: “Mrs. Moses B. Russell Boston Miniaturist” by Randall L. Holton and Charles A. Gilday, The Magazine Antiques, December 1999, p. 816-823.

In her day, Clarissa Peters Russell was a well-known miniaturist, specializing in portraits of children. Her work was so favored that when she died from a violent case of seasickness, the news made the front page

4598

of Boston newspapers. Over time, however, like many women artists, she faded into obscurity. Because she rarely signed her paintings, many of them were misattributed to her husband, also a miniaturist, or to itinerant portraitist Joseph Whiting Stock.
