Robert E. Canon Neal Auction Company is pleased to offer the collection of noted antiquarian Robert E. Canon, removed from Villa di Caprone, Natchez, MS. This large and diverse collection reflects the influence of Mr. Canon’s extensive travels and is a testament to his appreciation for the distinctive object. He patronized the finest antiques dealers in Paris, Rome and London, and made pilgrimages to museums in this country and abroad.

Canon’s career as a highly successful interior designer spanned five decades. In 1964 he and the late Newton Wilds formed the firm Wilds & Canon in Austin, TX, moving to Houston the following year. The firm quickly became one of the premier decorating firms for the River Oaks carriage trade and boasted an international clientele.

In 1975 Canon and Wilds bought The Briars in Natchez and began their much-admired restoration of the historic property. Other major projects in Natchez include the 1976-1977 redecoration of Dunleith, as well as work at Stanton Hall, Edgewood, Greenleaves, and most recently, Villa di Caprone. Built on the site of Natchez’s infamous “Goat Castle”, Villa di Caprone represents the swan song to Canon’s illustrious career as a designer and collector.

The three chairs are now part of the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum. Two of the chairs are stamped “IP” under the rear seat rail.

Note: William Woodward documented the historic buildings of the Vieux Carré in the early 20th century. A pioneering advocate of historic preservation, his impressionist works uniquely record the ambiance, architectural character and street life of this district. Prior to his use of Rafaelli oil crayons, Woodward worked en plein aire using traditional oil paints. The painting offered here, “The Archbishop’s Palace, New Orleans,” is a rare example of one of Woodward’s oil paintings of the French Quarter. He must have very much appreciated this notable view as he also rendered two important Rafaelli oil crayon works of the same scene, with only discrete variations in the figures depicted going about their business on their street. One work is in the collection of the New Orleans Museum of Art and the other was sold in these rooms on October 4, 2003, lot 536.

“I have three metal faces in the patio at home by the artist Alexander Calder.

Down the street from our office on Perdido Street on the corner of Carondelet stood the Sazerac Bar. The Sazerac Bar was no ordinary bar - it was the only one in New Orleans that did not allow women - except on Mardi Gras. The place was open from 4 o’clock p.m. until 8 o’clock p.m. and was an immensely popular place for men in the Central Business District to drop in for a drink or two on their way home after work. To everyone’s dismay, the “Sazerac” was purchased by Seymour Weiss, proprietor of the Roosevelt Hotel. Seymour had just been released from the Federal Penitentiary where he spent time because of complicity in the Louisiana scandals of the Huey Long era and he wanted to liven up his hotel by installing a new bar in it. There was never any doubt that we would design it.

The theme of the new bar was Mardi Gras. In accordance with the theme for the new bar we commissioned Calder to create five metal masks with moving eyes or teeth or tongues in bright colors. These would go on the walls around the room. The fee was to be $1,250, a very modest amount for the work of so great an artist. As the construction neared completion we tried our best to have the artist submit sketches of his work so that Mr. Weiss could approve them but to no avail. When the masks arrived and were uncrated, Mr. Weiss, no great patron of modern art in the first place, rejected them and refused to pay on the grounds that the masks were not worth what was being asked for them. We were so chagrinned and embarrassed that we never told Mr. Calder about it and paid the bill ourselves, splitting up the pieces evenly and flipping a coin for the extra one which I won.”

The Calder sculptures were installed for a brief time in the Sazerac Bar, as the September 26, 1949 photograph illustrated here shows “Red Smiling Mask” and “Blue Mask with Orange Nose” placed on the Sazerac wall.

335. Edward Stratton Holloway (American/Pennsylvania, 1859-1939), “A Young Man and a Child Beside an Atlantic Beach”, probably 1885, oil on canvas, signed lower right, remnant of paper label with date en verso of stretcher, 30 in. x 50 in., period doublemolded gilt frame. $15000/25000 Provenance: “Greenwood” broadly inscribed in pencil on lateral rail of stretcher.

Note: The most diagnostic features of this atmospheric but unlocated scene are the relative frequency of houses along its beachfront; the large driftwood tree on which the child is sitting; and especially the small ship on the horizon at upper right. This last is clearly a coasting vessel, having only a single smokestack, as well as cargo derricks fore and aft: it is shown (nearby) as steaming east or southeast toward more open water, with a dense plume of smoke blown back toward its recent port by a strong onshore wind. By the very nature of the American east coast (and also considering that Holloway—by then established in Philadelphia— must evidently have executed this remarkable canvas relatively close by), the ship’s quite near entry into the Atlantic, on this trajectory, would probably have been from New York harbor or Atlantic City, in which case this must be the New Jersey shore; or (second) from Delaware Bay, in which case the scene is on the northerly Atlantic beaches of Delaware; or (third) from Hampton Roads, and this must represent Virginia Beach (a title under which indeed this painting has previously passed). But the first of these options seems out of the question, when we consider which 19th-century towns the artist might have visited: the only spot this close to Sandy Hook, on the Jersey shore, is the then intensely fashionable watering-place of Long Branch, which Winslow Homer had very memorably shown, already in 1869 (in his painting now in Boston) to possess very high dunes, which Homer indeed called ‘bluffs.’ Similarly our third option is hardly feasible, since Virginia Beach was so exiguously populated in 1885; it was, however, still surrounded in 1893 with pine forests, which might handily account for the fallen

tree (and it did at that date boast one hotel). On the chance that our ocean-going cargo ship might have put out from Delaware Bay, this scene might actually be an 1885 ‘portrait’ of the just-then-coming-into-fashion Rehoboth Beach, which in the 1880s was increasingly popular with patrons from Washington and Baltimore. But given the requisite proximity to Holloway’s base in Philadelphia, this scene almost certainly represents one of the smaller conglomerations of houses between Cape May and Atlantic City, both well within two hours of Philadelphia by the existing rail lines (running through the famous ‘pine barrens,’ thus once more accounting for the drifted tree). Our ship may then have put out from Great Egg Harbor or an even smaller inlet; and we would doubtless not be far off to see this sparsely but consistently populated shore as lying somewhere between Wildwood and Longport, that is far enough south on the Jersey shore to avoid the view of Atlantic City’s three long piers, which in 1893 averaged some thousand feet in length.

Edward Stratton Holloway was born in upstate New York, though by age twentytwo he was already exhibiting regularly at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, where he had also attended art classes. He showed pictures from 1888 at New York’s National Academy of Design, from 1897 at the Art Institute of Chicago, and in 1904 at the St. Louis World’s Fair, where he was awarded a medal. For forty-six years, however, he worked as an author and art director at the Philadelphia publishing house of J. B. Lippincott—which makes it all the more likely that his coastal excursions may have been limited to weekends. The unusually bold signature on this closely observed and beautifully painted scene, with its reminiscences of the Barbizon style that he would have mastered as a pupil, bespeaks both the energy and confidence of his age—apparently just twentysix—as well as a young man’s adventurousness in seeking out this unspoiled and tranquil prospect.

Note: This historically important picture is clearly influenced by a celebrated artist and writer of the preceding generation, the Reverend William Gilpin (b. near Carlisle, Cumberland, 1724—d. near Southampton, Hampshire, 1804). Gilpin’s several publications (of 1768, 1782, 1786, and 1791, with very many subsequent editions) were copiously illustrated with his own aquatints, prepared from sketches he made on travels to British scenery and monuments that he—for the first time—labeled as “Picturesque,” and recommended to other artists as a deliberate compositional choice, to extend Edmund Burke’s previous categories of “The Sublime and the Beautiful” (1756).

Ibbetson lived in Scotland from c. 1798 to c. 1805, but he painted Scottish subjects both before and after that residence: his Loch Leven, for example—less than ten miles from Castle Campbell—at almost exactly the same size of this picture (11 in. x 16 in.), has the bold cloud formations, these same mountains, a parallel body of water before a castle, the same répoussoir trees and rocks, foreground bushes handled in a similar way, and even the same two small figures, seen from the back.

Castle Campbell was destroyed during a siege in 1644, but its ruins were carefully maintained for their very “picturesqueness.” The ruins are centered in Ibbetson’s wild landscape here of rough foliage and rugged mountains. All the pictorial elements, including the highly characteristic small figures framing Ibbetson’s view, are handled with an exceptional dash and brio, as well as distinctive brilliant use of light.

In contradistinction to De L’Isle’s 1718 map, Moll’s reduces French Louisiana to a region south of the Ohio River and gives Great Britain Labrador (as New Britain). Depicting one aspect of British success, Moll includes here a detailed depiction of the cod fishing industry, including the making of cod liver oil. Throughout the 17th century, the British had the greatest number of fishing boats in the Grand Banks. Dried codfish was a staple of the British Navy and a favourite throughout Europe.

An heir to the Johnson & Johnson medical products company, Johnson became a sculptor in 1968. He creates work that can be seen in corporate and private collections as well as on city streets around the world. Approximately one hundred seventy of Johnson’s realistic bronze sculptures of figures engaged in the ordinary activities of the day are placed in country (fishing in a stream) and city street settings (sitting on a bench looking in a briefcase), as if part of the passing parade, causing double-takes by citizens wondering if they are real people and, if not, what they are doing there. He sculpts his life-size, 3-D creations, cast in bronze and painted with automobile paint, at his studio in the New Jersey countryside near Trenton. In September 2003, his work was featured at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C which included 18 works created for the exhibit.

Seibricht” (sic). $7000/10000 Note: Henry N. Siebrecht, a retailer active in New Orleans from 1834 to 1890, sold a broad range of household furnishings imported primarily from Europe. He immigrated to the United States from Hesse-Cassel, Germany, and in 1826 established an upholstery shop in New Orleans. Siebrecht gradually expanded the scope of his business to include the sale of furniture, curtain fabrics and trims, window cornices, wallpapers, and decorative accessories. Many of the furnishings offered in his store at 49 Royal Street were obtained from French and other European sources; however, surviving examples of furniture known to have been purchased from Siebrecht indicate that some of the furniture was supplied by furniture manufacturers in the northeastern United States.

The parlor suite offered here is part of a growing body of documented furniture from the warerooms of Henry N. Siebrecht. Furniture associated with Siebrecht’s retail establishment on the basis of surviving bills of sale or painted inscriptions includes Gothic Revival hall furniture and Rococo Revival parlor furniture supplied about 1858 to Frederick Stanton for Stanton Hall in Natchez, Mississippi; a Rococo Revival rosewood dining table purchased in 1859 by Alphonse Miltenberger for his townhouse in the French Quarter, New Orleans, also a Renaissance Revival walnut bookcase sold at New Orleans Auction Galleries on May 20, 2012.

A Renaissance Revival carved rosewood parlor suite that is virtually identical to the offered lot in both form and decoration sold at South Bay Auctions in East Moriches, New York, on January 26, 2008. The suite formerly belonged to the Townsend Society of Oyster Bay, New York.

Note: At Natchez in about 1839 a portrait recently attributed to Joseph Henry Bush (1794-1865) was painted of this sitter’s father, the itinerant Methodist preacher Rev. Miles D. Harper (1784-1843), who shortly before his death had bought a large tract of land just north of Natchez (although, through the cutting off of an oxbow on the Mississippi, “Harper’s Island” lay legally in Tensas Parish, Louisiana). Some two decades later, his widow Samantha Ford Harper—whom Miles had married at her father’s frontier dwelling at the Pearl River on 10 March 1813—became the subject of a portrait by the littleknown French artist Louis-Joseph Bahin, who painted at Natchez in the 1850s. That portrait, descending in the Harper and related families, was signed by Bahin in 1859. The present likeness of one of Miles’ and Samantha’s daughters, offered here, is so nearly identical with her mother’s portrait as to encourage its attribution to the same artist, in the same campaign of work. .

Sold to benefit the Acquisition Fund of the Morris Museum of Art, Augusta, Georgia.

Note: An unconventional Southern self-taught 929 artist, Larry Connatser was raised in Atlanta and earned undergraduate degrees in literature and philosophy from Vanderbilt University. He was influenced by the Austrian expressionist painter Eugene Bel-Bienne who taught at Vanderbilt, and by his personal study of art history.

Connatser pursued a career in Chicago working for a publisher of educational materials. In his spare time he began to create his colorful paintings populated by fantasy figures in vibrant imaginative settings. By 1963, he devoted himself full time to painting. He returned home to the South, maintaining residences in Savannah and Atlanta. Connaster avoided representation by art galleries, selling his art from his studio-home. His visionary paintings were well received and exhibited at the Chicago Art Institute, Newark Museum of Art and Columbia Museum of Art in South Carolina.

Tragically, Connatser‘s life was cut short by AIDS at fifty eight. The Telfair Museum of Art in Savannah held a major retrospective exhibition in 2002.

His estate gifted his paintings to the Morris Museum of Art in Augusta, Georgia.

CONDITIONS OF SALE Placing a bid at auction constitutes buyer’s acceptance of and agreement to these Conditions of Sale.

1. WAIVER OF WARRANTY: All lots are sold “AS IS”. No statement regarding condition, kind, value, or quality of a lot, whether made orally at the auction or at any other time, or in writing in this catalogue or elsewhere, shall be construed to be an express or implied warranty, representation, or assumption of liability. Any such warranty is WAIVED. Regarding works of art, Neal Auction Company does not make any express or implied warranty as to authorship. No statement in the catalogue or elsewhere, orally or in writing, shall be construed as an express or implied warranty, representation or limitation of liability as to authorship. Any such warranty is WAIVED. Buyer agrees and acknowledges that: (a) buyer is not relying on Neal Auction Company’s skill or judgment in selecting to purchase any lot; (b) no oral or written statements in the catalogue of Neal Auction Company or elsewhere regarding condition, attribution, kind, quality, value or authorship are the cause of or reason behind buyer’s purchase of any lot; (c) buyer would have incurred the purchase of any lot regardless of any oral or written statements about condition, attribution, kind, quality, value, or authorship made in the catalogue or elsewhere; (d) Neal Auction Company did not know and could not have known that condition, attribution, kind, quality, expressed value, or authorship is the cause or reason why buyer decides to purchase any lot; (e) buyer’s purchase of any lot is not intended to gratify a nonpecuniary interest; and (f) Neal Auction Company did not know, nor should it have known, that any oral or written statement about a lot in the catalogue or elsewhere would cause a nonpecuniary loss to buyer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing WAIVER OF WARRANTY, agreements and acknowledgements, Neal Auction Company may in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, consider any reasonable request for rescission of a sale on the basis of authenticity of authorship of a work of art under the following terms and conditions only, all of which must be met: A. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding lots identified by Neal Auction Company by the terms “attributed to,” “school of,” “manner of,” “after,” or “signature of.”

B. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding any lot unless the buyer notifies Neal Auction Company in writing within a reasonable time from the date of the auction, and returns the lot to Neal Auction Company in the same condition that the lot was in at the time of sale.

C. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding any lot unless the buyer presents to Neal Auction Company a written document signed by a recognized art expert acceptable to Neal Auction Company that the lot in question is a forgery.

D. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission to any person (including but not limited to the original buyer’s heirs, legatees, assigns, transferees, or subsequent purchasers) other than the original buyer, and any rights of the original buyer are not transferrable or assignable.

E. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission when: (i) there is a conflict of expert opinion as to the authorship; (ii) expert opinion supported authorship at the time of sale, although expert opinion may have changed after the date of sale; and (iii) scientific processes that were unavailable, expensive or impractical at the time of sale have revealed since the time of sale that the author or period Neal Auction Company believed to be accurate at the time of sale was inaccurate.

F. In any dispute between Neal Auction Company and buyer regarding authorship of a work of art, it is stipulated that rescission of the sale and refund of the price paid shall be the buyer’s sole recourse or remedy, if any is available, and Neal Auction Company shall not be responsible or obligated for any damages (including compensatory, general, incidental, exemplary or special damages), non-pecuniary losses, costs, expenses, injury, mental anguish, lost profits, attorney’s fees, or any other monetary or injunctive relief.

2. The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in determining the successful bidder. At the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, title to the offered lot will pass to the bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer. The bidder thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility and will pay full purchase price for the said lot.

3. The auctioneer may decide that any original bid is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or that any advance thereafter is not of sufficient amount, he may reject the same.

4. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any item at any time before the sale of the item.

5. No merchandise will be released before the end of the auction.

6. If the buyer fails to comply with any of the conditions of sale, Neal Auction Company reserves the right to hold such defaulting buyer liable for the purchase price; to cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payment made by the buyer; resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately on seven days’ notice to the buyer or, take such other actions available by law as deemed necessary or appropriate. If Neal Auction Company resells the property, the original defaulting buyer shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses, including warehousing, the expenses of both sales, reasonable attorneys’ fees, commissions, incidental damages and all other charges due hereunder.
