This ambitious cabinet is inlaid with conforming panels of oil lamps, and features cast mounts of caryatid busts after the Erechtheion examples.

The bronze plaques are from Pierre E. Guerin (1843-1911) who established his New York foundry in 1864 providing mounts for renowned cabinet-makers such as Leon Marcotte and Pottier and Stymus.

An important rosewood parlor cabinet with collared stiles and bust mounts marked “P&S” very similar to those placed on this cabinet was sold by Neal Auction Company as lot 742, May 1993.

Southard is thought to have been given the piece by Marion duPont Scott (1894-1983), the daughter of Annie Rogers Zinn duPont and William duPont (18551928). The duPonts purchased and moved to James Madison’s Montpelier in 1902, when Marion was just eight. She resided at Montpelier until her death.

George Southard was Montpelier’s engineer from 1900 to 1935.

Note: This bench combines the bold architectural character and proliferation of details that characterize the Reform styles of the late nineteenth century. The overall proportions and detail typify Philadelphia furniture of this period, in particular, the work of architect and furniture designer Frank Furness (1939-1912).

This bench bears its greatest relationship – both in massing and in detail – to pieces made in the shop of cabinetmakers Joseph (b. 1818) and William (d. 1865) Allen, formally known as Allen and Brother of Philadelphia.

The upholstered panel of the back, a c. 1900 replacement, bears a paper label that reads: “From / Alex Milne / 511 Ninth Street, Northwest, / Washington, D. C. / Fine Furniture and Decorations.” Milne was in business in the Capital by 1891.

(64.8 x 99.7 cm.), in the original carved giltwood frame, with a pre-1953 Hirschl, Adler & Schwartz, NY, label en verso of frame. $9000/12000 Note: This picture exactly replicates two famous originals by Canaletto (he often copied such popular views of Venetian subjects, with variations of format and detail). The first is an identical view in the Royal Collections at Windsor Castle, at 47 x 79.5 cm., c. 1729-34, with the small boats clustered on the right side of the image, and a tall mast over one of them rising in the precise position of the large-masted ship in the distance here. The second is a colossal painting in the National Gallery London, at 124 x 204 cm., c. 1738, with the boats distributed more evenly on both sides of the Canal; but those in the far distance are left very small, and a river transport barge appears partially in the left foreground, as it does here more fully in the center – reflecting this part of the Grand Canal’s proximity to the Lagoon (just around the distant bend at Santa Croce), the Mainland, and the River Brenta route to Padua.

106

The vehicle of the painting offered here was a famous engraving of Antonio Visentini (16881782), published in his Prospectus of 1735, which had been commissioned by the famous Consul Joseph Smith (c. 1674-1770) to depict 14 of Canaletto’s views on the Grand Canal; evidently the Prospectus print represented the earlier painting of this view, now at Windsor.

These are respectively an impression after a gem or plaster copy of a painted subject, The Death of General Wolfe at Quebec, 1770, by Benjamin West, at top right; and the uppermost subject on the panel, Hector Taking Leave of Andromache, an impression after one of the hundreds of gem-engravings for Prince Stanislaw Poniatowski of Poland (1754-1833), made at Rome c. 1803-1823. The Twelve Cæsars and the remaining narrative subjects are all taken from standard Antique or Renaissance plaquettes, such as the so-called Bacchus and Ariadne at bottom right, which is a typical miniaturization of a subject cast in bronze during the Early Renaissance, after a surviving gem-engraving from ancient Alexandria.

Note: One of the most notorious beauties of the Empire Period, Juliette Recamier’s noted Salon was regularly attended by the most promising talents of the literary and artistic world as well as by the political figures of the day. A woman of strong opinions, she was known for her somewhat scandalous - and potentially dangerous - Royalist political beliefs. After her refusal to act as lady-in-waiting to Empress Josephine, Napoleon exiled her from Paris; she only returned to her beloved city after the Emperor’s political demise.

The great Neoclassical sculptor Chinard created his portrait bust of Mme. Recamier in 1805/6 during one of his infrequent, but highly productive, visits to Paris. Though initially trained in Lyon, Chinard spent years in Rome where he studied the ancient statuary and modern Italian sculpture, deftly combining elements of both in his work. In his depiction of Recamier, the sculptor captures the beauty, charm, and (as evidenced by the scant draping) daring of this remarkable woman.

Note: Vessels with the Baragon Tumed mark are traditionally considered to be a part of the wedding service made at the Imperial factories to celebrate the marriage of a daughter of the Daogung Emperor to a Mongolian prince of the Tumed Banner. Baragon Tumed “is the name of the Right or Western Wing of the Tumed Banners, a principality of southern Mongolia.

Note: According to an article published in the January 13, 1950, Denver, CO paper The Monitor, Colorado-born Arthur A. Jolliffe began his collection of Asian art while a Major in the intelligence section of the U.S. Army during WWII and, later, as a member of Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s staff in the Central Purchasing Offices in China and Japan. On his return to the U.S. around 1950, Jolliffe opened a gallery in Denver, CO named “A. A. Jolliffe, Importer.” By 1960 he had become a prominent expert and respected dealer in the field, reputedly acquiring art and objects for the Denver Art Museum.

The Denver Post proclaimed his gallery at the Denver Hilton as “the biggest of its kind between Chicago and the West Coast”. In 1963 Jolliffe extended his business to Dallas, TX, where he opened a branch of “Jolliffe’s Oriental” at the Fairmont Hotel.

Note: Called “dreamstones “ these natural marble canvases, so reminiscent of ink landscape paintings, have been treasured by scholars for many centuries. They are prominently displayed in studios and gardens where they aid in contemplation and serve as earthly reminders that man’s 152 place in the cosmos is neither incidental nor extraordinary. Marble for these so-called stone paintings is predominantly found in the ancient town of Dali in the Yunnan province of southwestern China.

$3000/5000 Provenance: Ex Daytona Beach, FL Collection.

Note: Duan stone or Duanshi stone is a volcanic tuff from Duanxi, Guangdong Province. For centuries the Duan has been considered a highly valued material, commonly known for its use in inkstones. Duan has distinctive markings, called “eyes“, which are round or oval shaped inclusions, and which have long been considered one of the stone’s most aesthetically pleasing aspects.

These eyes were often incorporated into the overall design of the stone by the carver, as can be seen in the lot offered here.

155

$4000/6000 Provenance: Exhibited Chinese-American Museum, Chicago, IL, 2005.

Note: The “Hundred Boys” motif has appeared on fine art and decorative objects since the Song Dynasty. The boys, themselves, symbols of longevity, prosperity, and well-being, are usually depicted engaged in outdoor activities, often fishing or bearing fruit, branches and auspicious objects. The boys are said to represent “that most prized and ultimate blessing: an abundance of male descendents to ensure continuation of the family line and the performance of filial duties.”

“Children appear in Chinese art in many contexts, often serving didactic functions as paragons of Confucian, Buddhist, and Daoist virtue, and as embodiments of adult aspirations.”

$25000/35000 Provenance: Ex Minneapolis, MN Collection.

Note: “Reproduction 161 of the world in miniature is a recurring theme in Chinese art.

Representations of mountains in particular signified escape from China’s highly ordered, bureaucratic society of the natural world. In Daoist thought, the mountains were also the home of the immortal, and so symbolized paradise and the attainment of everlasting life”. A carved jade mountain would have had a special place in the scholar’s home, where it would have been used as an object of reflection and contemplation.

A Chinese “Toe-Skin” Jade Scholar’s Mountain, Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), relief carved to the front side with figures in a landscape set with a boat, bridge, waterfall, mountains, trees and pavilions, the stone of grayish-celadon tone with a russet skin and even patina, height 5 1/4 in., width 7 1/2 in., set on a carved wood stand, overall height 6 1/8 in. $20000/30000 Provenance: Baltimore Antiques Fair, Baltimore, MD; acquired 1997.

160

Note: Jade mountains were created as objects of contemplation reflecting man’s love of nature and his insignificance within the cosmos.

The intrinsic qualities of this mountain are particularly interesting given the suggestion of extrinsic influence. The foreground is set with a scholar and his attendant standing on the bow of a boat. The scholar grasps his long beard in one hand and, with the other, points to something to his distant right, well beyond his physical setting. In the center, an arched bridge emerges from behind pine boughs, on it stand two scholars gazing thoughtfully forward beyond the confines of the carving. The composition subtly suggests great depth.

Models of court ladies made prior to the reign of the seventh Tang emperor Xuanzong (712-756) tended to depict slender women wearing fitted garments. Beginning around the middle part of the 8th century a growth in popularity of a more generous female form and the adoption of less structured robes emerges with the so-called “Fat Lady.” This dramatic change in fashion has traditionally been attributed to the influence of the emperor’s adored concubine Yang Guifei (719756), who was reported to have had a voluptuous figure.

The representation in art form of the water buffalo, or ox, as an important animal in the wet-rice cultivating societies of Asia, can be traced back thousands of years. The buffalo has long been a highly prized and revered animal throughout China. (A monumental bronze water buffalo 168 sits at the edge of the Kunming Lake in Beijing’s Summer Palace as a dedication to the Emperor Qianlong.)

The buffalo symbolizes bucolic bliss, steadfastness, tolerance and perseverance and represents “the true self”.

During the Tang Dynasty the trade route known as the Silk Road flourished. Most of the overland trade between China and the West was carried out by Central Asian and Near Eastern merchants. Indicative of the trade route’s incredible breadth, two-hump Bactrian camels were preferred to the single-hump Arabian camels as they were more capable of traveling farther distances.

Figures of these camels were likely modeled for persons of rank and means. Given its choice as the primary method of transporting goods along the Silk Road, the camel’s presence both in life and in the afterlife connoted abundance and prosperity.

Note: Scholars David Hanks and Paige Talbott note that Philadelphia furniture makers of the 1860s were resistant to the changes brought about by new types of steam powered machinery and emphasized the work of immigrant journeyman carvers more than those in other American cities. Entirely hand carved furniture related to 18th century examples continued to be preferred by those who could afford it and was emphasized by Philadelphia firms like Allen and Brother and Daniel Pabst. By the 1880s industrial techniques and wholesale intervention overtook most Philadelphia cabinet shops, leaving a dwindling number of “cabinet-makers of reputation” such as Pabst. This superbly carved chair is a product of traditional craft techniques most notable in Philadelphia.

Charles Wellington Boyle (American/Louisiana, 1861-1925), “Bayou Boeuf, Louisiana”, oil on canvas, signed lower left, 16 1/4 in. x 24 1/4 in., in an ornate frame with artist and title label. $7000/9000 Provenance: Purchased in the French Quarter in the 1940s; thence by descent to the present collector.

Note: Charles Wellington Boyle (1861-1925) was raised in Lewisburg, LA on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain. He was active in New Orleans art circles from 1883 as a painter, art teacher, restorer, and curator.

His Louisiana landscapes are his best works and often prominently feature moss-laden live oak trees. The painterly view of Bayou Boeuf offered here depicts a wide canopy of these trees along the edge of the bayou, where a man plies the water in a pirogue.

Many Louisiana landscapes by a variety of 19th century artists are unidentified. It is unusual to have a specific location noted on this Boyle landscape. Bayou Boeuf is located in Lafourche Parish in the “German” territories of Southeast Louisiana, just off Lac des Allemands, near Kraemer.

Note: Lydia Carter (1789-1824) was the daughter of Major Jesse Carter (1750-1817) and his wife Sarah Canhard (b.1755), of the Natchez District. She married on May 30, 1804 George Poindexter (1779-1853), then the Mississippi Territory’s Attorney General, and later the new State’s second Governor. Their four year marriage ended in divorce after Lydia had borne two sons: first George Littleton (c.

1805), about whom little is known; and the couple’s second son, Albert Gallatin (1806/08-1832) who was accused by his father of being Lydia’s love-child by Col. Thomas Percy, a prominent neighbor and friend. Albert died in his midtwenties having been utterly disavowed by Poindexter.

Lydia, by 1822, had married a clergyman, a Revd. Williams, of Brimfield, Massachusetts, and moved to that State; a Boston label appears on the reverse of this frame, and thus confirms the picture’s provenance.

William Henry Buck (American/New Orleans, 1840-1888), “Picking Cotton, Louisiana Plantation Scene”, oil on canvas, signed lower right, counter-signed in pencil on stretcher en verso, 12 in. x 20 in., framed. $125000/200000 Provenance: Private collection, Birmingham, Alabama. Descended in the family of William Henry Buck.

Note: This depiction of a Louisiana plantation is a rare composition

by William Henry Buck. Anchored by a large moss-laden live oak tree in the center of the work, this painting of a plantation with a large group of figures is unusual in his oeuvre. Six figures actively pick cotton in the foreground. Buck often incorporates a figure or two into his works, but rarely a large group actively engaged in a farming activity. He depicts the Acadian style main house facing the viewer with a long row of cabins and an outbuilding to the left.

Along the bayou on the right side of the composition sit a lean to, a small boat and other implements used to load the cotton onto boats. Such an expansive, active and complete view of a Louisiana plantation is an exciting discovery within the documented work of William Buck.

Benjamin” armoire, now in the Whitecloud collection. The use of an eight-panel back and distinctive beaded and shaped skirt on this armoire is most similar to that on an armoire of apparent St. Lucia origin, now in the Cronan collection.

Note: William Wright Heard was elected Governor of the State of Louisiana after a career in banking and accounting, to which he returned in his postgubernatorial life. Heard was known for his interest in education, which led to his founding the first Louisiana State Board of Education. Additionally, in 1902, Heard was given the right to select the official Louisiana State Seal; he chose a depiction of a pelican with three chicks, along with the words “Union “ “Justice “ and “Confidence “ in a design that is still used to this day.

Note: A favored artist of French Creole society, the Parisian Jean Joseph Vaudechamp was the pre-eminent portraitist in 1830s New Orleans. Venturing to New Orleans each fall and returning to France in the spring, Vaudechamp painted the portraits of New Orleans families during his annual sojourns, including members of the Hermann and Forstall families.

Vaudechamp did not return to New Orleans after the winter of 1839; he did continue to receive portrait commissions and exhibit at the Paris Salon. The adult children of Madame Theodore Bailly Blanchard sought out Vaudechamp in Paris to have their portraits painted by the artist who had painted the portrait of their beloved mother in New Orleans. Charles Gayarré had his portrait painted by Vaudechamp when he, too, visited Paris.

Although the identity of the sitter in “Portrait of a Woman in a White Dress” remains unknown, there is a possibility that she is member of a New Orleans Creole family who traveled to Paris in 1851 to have her portrait painted by Vaudechamp. Dressed in a beautiful white Alencon lace dress, her attire and hairstyle do not reveal the high style and opulence of current French fashion but have a more subtle New Orleans quality.

Note: The French Market was a favored theme of William Woodward. He depicted it in different media over several decades.

A watercolor from 1891 in The Historic New Orleans Collection depicts an active scene with piles of cabbages and onions and a man at work cleaning cabbages in the right background. Seemingly the same man is shown in the 1903 painting offered here, but in a slightly different location of the market. This view depicts one of the gabled entries on the river side of the French Market and relates very closely to a Raffaelli oil crayon from 1904 in the collection of the New Orleans Museum of Art. In that work, from a different angle, he shows the same woman with her red scarf and blue skirt, standing by a table piled with cabbages. The man is also shown, but at work on his horse carriage. Large watercolors by William Woodward are quite rare as he generally preferred the medium of oil crayon to capture his beloved Vieux Carré.

Interestingly an 18th century Martiniquan armoire of similar proportions is part of the esteemed Stromeyer collection, Chene Vert, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Eschewing the painted, heavily gilded and bronze mounted surfaces of the French fauteuils, American makers used finely carved “tablets” such as the anthemion crest on this chair. Related examples include an armchair made for Isaac Minis (Savannah, 1780-1856) by Joseph Barry and an armchair at the White House made by William King of Georgetown for James Monroe.

Ophelia Gumbel married Edward Godchaux in 1893. He was the son of Leon Godchaux, a French immigrant who began as a backpack peddler and became a wealthy planter and merchant known as LA’s “Sugar King”. The Godchaux family owned 14 plantations including Reserve Plantation in St. John the Baptist Parish. By the end of the 19th century Godchaux Sugar Co. was one of the largest sugar industries in the world. The retail operation founded in 1840 became Godchaux’s Department store on Canal St. which catered to a carriage trade clientele until it closed in 1986.

Ophelia and Edward Godchaux’s daughter Elma was a noted author whose novel Stubborn Roots is based on the lives of her father and grandfather.

327. Thomas L. McKenney (American, 1785-1859) and James Hall (1793-1868): the George Strother Gaines (1784-1873) Original Subscriber Set of the History of the Indian Tribes of North America, 1837-1844, 3 vols. in folio, 20 in. x 14 1/4 in., with 120 hand-colored lithographic plates after James Otto Lewis, Charles Bird King, Karl Bodmer, P. Rhindesbacher and R. M. Sully, drawn on stone by A. Newsome, A. Hoffy, Ralph Trembley, Henry Dacre and others, printed and colored by J. T. Bowen; a leaf titled “The Genuineness of the Portrait of Pocahontas”, a page of lithographed maps, “Localities of all the Indian Tribes in North America in 1833”, 17 pp of facsimile signatures of the original subscribers including “Geo. S. Gaines” under the heading for Mobile & Ala., three-quarter red leather over marbled boards. $70000/100000 Provenance: Descended in the family of pioneer and statesman George Strother Gaines to the present owner.

Gaines was a prominent figure in 19th century Alabama and Mississippi, who played a pivotal role in the development of those states.

As Assistant Trader with the Choctaw Trading House, Gaines established close relationships with the local Indian tribes, including the Choctaw and the Chickasaw. Gaines later oversaw the relocation of approximately 6,000 Choctaws from Mississippi to Oklahoma with very few casualties and was praised by the Mobile Commercial Register for his consideration for the well-being of the Choctaw travelers, although the expense was three times greater than the original estimate for the relocation effort.

Note: Thomas McKenney’s and James Hall’s monumental History of the Indian Tribes constitutes the most important opening chapter of a closely linked series of intimately related works on the great subject of the native populations of North America. It is true that it had been – somewhat unfairly – preceded by a couple of years with the hurried publication of the “Portfolio” of 1835

by James Otto Lewis, who had been a crucial and major contributor (in 1826-27) to McKenney’s original idea of recording visually the distinctive costumes and accessories of the major Indian chiefs to negotiate treaties with the Federal Government. But Charles Bird King, in fact, repainted almost all Lewis’s images for this much larger edition, and Bowen did a much improved version of publishing them; the 120 plates of this definitive edition draw on the talents of many other artists, and the fame of their results has justly eclipsed by far the essentially unimportant plates of the 1835 “Portfolio”.

McKenney himself was a kind of inspired functionary, who as Superintendent of the Indian Trade Bureau under Presidents Madison and Monroe (2 April 1816 to

78

22 May 1822, when the post was abolished) quickly succeeded himself as first Superintendent of the Bureau of Indian Affairs under the aegis of the War Department (11 March 1824), in which capacity he served also Presidents J. Q. Adams and Andrew Jackson; he was finally dismissed by the latter on 1 October 1830. The 15 years of his incumbency were industriously spent in securing portraits of the notable chieftains who negotiated the Federal treaties, both in Washington and in the field. McKenney traveled indefatigably, and entertained the chiefs very lavishly in Washington - so much so that (unjustified) enquiries into his expenses eventually forced him from office. His original gallery of Indian portraits (in the former War Department, on the site of the Old Executive Office Building) perished in the burning of the Smithsonian Institution in 1865; it had been providentially copied for this publication by the young Henry Inman (1801-1846), and his own expanded-format portraits are now at Harvard University. James Hall was an able writer, who was found by McKenney after he left office: it took a half-dozen years for Hall to undertake the subscriptions and arrange the publication, for which the original subscribers’ contributions were $120 per set.

In the midst of the tragic saga of the Indian “removals” to the eventual state of Oklahoma (principally occurring in 1838-1842), and of this great work by McKenney and Hall (1837-1844), a younger artist of extraordinary field experience, George Catlin (1796-1872) brought out his Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs, and Condition of the North American Indian, in 2 volumes, in London in 1841. The second, definitive set of Catlin’s paintings (numbering some 500 items) was acquired by Paul Mellon for the National Gallery of Art in Washington: Catlin’s engaging narrative style provides the best 19thcentury source for the lives, rituals, and ceremonies of his directlyexperienced subjects. Finally, The North American Indian, lavishly sponsored by J. Pierpont Morgan under the patronage of President Theodore Roosevelt, brought to the public the marvelous photogravures of Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868-1954), in 20 volumes over the years 1907 to 1930. Indeed it may justly be said that the collected images of Catlin, as well as of McKenney and Hall were both destined for supererogation only by the new invention of photography.

Introduced into America as it was in the earliest days of the 1840s, with striking portraits of North America’s native peoples in many successive techniques over the next 60 years, photography achieved a kind of bittersweet closure to the saga of “the vanishing race” in the poignant images of E. S. Curtis - a fitting culmination of the efforts of the preceding century, nowhere better epitomized than in McKenney and Hall, to celebrate the grandeur and dignity of the earliest populations of the American frontier.

Born in Prussia, Marschall moved to the United States in 1849 and worked in New Orleans before arriving in Alabama, where he painted for almost twenty-five years before relocating to Louisville, Kentucky.

John Hagan was a wealthy merchant who ran the business John Hagan & Co. of New Orleans, and, along with Philip McLoskey, the company McLoskey, Hagan, & Co. of Mobile.

As a real estate speculator, Hagan also prospered, selling land to General Zachary Taylor for the creation of his plantation, Cypress Grove. Hagan also had dealings with the Marquis de Lafayette, purchasing property from the General himself and from his heirs. From this property, Hagan created the Faubourg Hagan in 1840-41. He also briefly owned the St. Charles Hotel, which was destroyed by fire in 1851.

$12000/18000 Provenance: Gift from Archbishop Joseph Rummel of New Orleans, thence by descent.

Note: In mid-19th century America, still life trompe l’oeil painting was a new style which became popular across the country. After-the-hunt images were among the most sought after with nature mortes of wildlife among the first subjects for still life painting in Louisiana. Achille Perelli and George Louis Viavant were the most well-known painters of nature mortes compositions in Louisiana. William Aiken Walker and the many artists of the Coulon family also contributed to the genre. Charles Wellington Boyle is best known as a painter of the Louisiana landscape, but here has rendered a pair of mallard ducks with fine detail and excellent trompe l’oeil technique, their dark shadows creating dimension as if the birds are hanging right before our eyes.

Note: Clementine Hunter created quilt tops and wall-hangings, the most impressive of which depict the buildings and people of Melrose Plantation. The quilt offered here shows the “Big House” of Melrose in the center of the work with the African House placed in the upper right. Several other outbuildings are depicted as are two female figures and a man in a boat fishing. The man fishing is a distinct figure sometimes seen in Hunter’s paintings.

The Melrose Plantation Collection includes a quilt top with a similar color block background which also depicts vignettes of life there. Illustrated in Painting by Heart: The Life and Art of Clementine Hunter on page 72 is yet another large quilt showing the “Big House” in the center, the African House to the upper right and many of the same female figures and men fishing.

Hunter’s large quilts are exceedingly rare. The bold colors and strong geometry and design of the work offered here place it in the highest order of the textiles she created.

Together with his wife, the artist Vera Reinike, he administered the Reinike Academy of Art from 1934 until 1944. During the summer months, the academy operated at “Audubon Woods” in St. Francisville, LA. The two paintings by Clarence Millet offered here as lots 362 and 363 (following page) depict scenes at the bucolic Audubon Woods. As the 1940 brochure advertising the camp states: “The Camp is located in one of the most picturesque spots in the South. The rolling landscape, plantation homes, negro shacks, and bayous inspire the artist and student alike. Living quarters are comfortable, and uniquely located in the heart of a pine woods, where the weather is cool and invigorating on the hottest days.”

Among the visitors who signed the guest book from 1939 are Clarence Millet, Morris Henry Hobbs, and Louise Sarrazin. Having descended in the family of Charles Reinike, these works were likely gifts from Millet to Reinike, in appreciation for time spent at Audubon Woods.

368. Helen Maria Turner (American/New Orleans, 18581958), “The Laughing Girl”, 1917, oil on canvas, signed and dated lower left, 24 1/8 in. x 18 1/4 in., in a period giltwood frame. $40000/60000 Provenance: Deaccessioned from the Jersey City Woman’s Club.

Note: Helen Turner, who was born in Kentucky, but spent her formative years in New Orleans in the late 19th century, was first introduced to art by her uncle, Dr. John Pintard Davidson, around the year 1879. Her formal art training did not commence until 1886, when she was selected as a student by the Artists’ Association in New Orleans. After studying with celebrated New Orleans artists such as Andres Molinary and Paul Poincy, Turner accepted a teaching position at St. Mary’s College in Dallas in the 1890s, and later continued her studies in New York at the Art Students League. It was in New York that Turner was able to learn from American artists who had inspired her for years, including William Merritt Chase. Turner continued her teaching career in New York after finishing her studies. She built a house, “Takusan,” in Cragsmoor, New York, where she summered. Her most prolific time creating artwork was during the summer

90

months in Cragsmoor, and it is quite possible that The Laughing Girl was created there during the summer of 1917.

The Laughing Girl, whose composition and style reveal Turner’s signature technique, was included in the Exhibition of Paintings by Six American Women, which was put on by the St. Louis Art Museum and traveled to six museums throughout the country. Along with Turner, five American women artists were included: Mary Cassatt, Johanna H.K. Hailman, Jane Peterson, Alice Schille, and Martha Walter. This exhibition was a significant advance in Turner’s career and by 1920, she was having much commercial success, as well as earning awards from such prestigious institutions as the Corcoran Gallery, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and the Carnegie Institute, leading to her selection as a National Academician of the National Academy of Design.

Note: Botanical still lifes were a favored theme in Marie Hull’s work from the 1920s and 30s. She always depicts a single type of plant material in a vase or pot. The work offered shows loquat branches in a Chinese vase. All of her still life paintings demonstrate her ability to achieve balance in composition and color. Also known as Japanese plum, Hull depicts this fruit in various states of ripeness, aesthetically contrasted against a green ground.

373. Marie Atkinson Hull (American/Mississippi, 1890-1980), “Mississippi Abstract Landscape”, c. 1972, oil on canvas, signed lower left, 23 in. x 60 in., in a period frame. $10000/15000 Provenance: Descended in the family of noted Mississippi art collector, Bitsy Irby.

Note: Marie Hull’s style as a painter successfully matured into full abstraction. In the early 1970s, she painted a series of Mississippi landscapes which she described as “lyrical abstraction”. These works are composed of horizontal bands of color with soft edges and gradations that meld with ease. Hull applied the short vertical strokes after the canvases dried in order to give the paintings a particular texture. The work offered here evokes the red clay of Mississippi under a white-hot sky. Works from this series won the Grand Prize in the Competitive Exhibition of Mississippi Artists at the Mississippi Arts Festival of 1972.

The bright royal blue, emerald green, amethyst purple and bright red are standard colors for the artist and show up often in his linocuts. Printed on wallpaper that indicates Anderson’s early linocuts, the strong coloring and massive composition of “Horizontal Pelican” have a sense of life and movement, as if you can almost feel the pelican flying by.

$3000/5000 Provenance: Purchased by the present owner from an estate in Uptown New Orleans.

Note: Sister Gertrude Morgan was a missionary, preacher, artist, musician, poet and writer who lived and worked in New Orleans in the 1960s and 1970s. He legendary sermons, street-corner preaching and unique artwork made her one of the most revered characters in recent American folk art history. Morgan believed that her paintings were just another way of spreading “the word”, and her work mostly explores religious themes, especially from the Book of Revelations. The work offered here, interestingly, is a view from her childhood, showing the school she attended in Opelika, Alabama, as a young girl from 1910-12.

379

Note: In 1940, Walter Anderson moved to his wife’s family estate, Oldfields, in Gautier, Mississippi. An extraordinarily productive period followed: he had time to draw, paint and make block prints; to illustrate some of his favorite books, experiment with the theories of dynamic symmetry and with the drawing methods of the Mexican artist and educator Adolfo Best Maugard. Maugard’s theories provide a basis for Anderson’s “Oldfields” watercolors. The lot offered here is of large scale compared to later Horn Island watercolors. “Two Pelicans in Flight”, is an important example of dynamic symmetry and is stylistically representative of the work he created during his time at Oldfields.

Whitney and Amory Leland, residents of 692 Park Avenue, New York. Descended in the family.

Acquired by the present collector from the Lelands’ granddaughter.

Note: The distinctive base for this table relates closely to that from a design by E.W. Godwin, and seen on several tables including one manufactured by William Watt now at the Victoria and Albert Museum (acc. W54.1980).

The mashrabiya screens on this table relate to those on a desk made by Louis Comfort Tiffany for the Moorish Smoking Room of the Henry G. Marquand mansion (now at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, acc. 1995.46.1). Further, the distinctive complex molded edge on the top of this table and melon carvings on the legs relate closely to those on an octagonal table made by Tiffany for the Marquand house (now conserved by the Metropolitan Museum of Art acc. 1986.47.2).

The octagonal top and distinctive screen panels on this lot relate to those on a center table in the salon of the George Kemp House (270 5th Ave., New York) decorated by Associated Artists in 1879.

The Henry Marquand mansion at 68th Street and Madison Avenue was one block from the Leland home at 692 Park Avenue. The Marquand commission was completed in 1885, three years after the Lelands’ marriage.

Note: Between 1840 and 1890 American manufacturers began to expand the use of metals like iron, brass and bronze beyond utilitarian and outdoor objects with innovations in industrial metalworking techniques. “Artistic Bronze Goods” became popular with style-conscious consumers in the 1880’s. Firms like the Charles Parker Company (Connecticut, 1832-1957) made complex furniture and accessories for indoor use such as tables, accent chairs, mirrors, fireplace tools, and lighting, often with an enthusiasm for Aesthetic “Japonisme” design such as the lot seen here.

Mumford, 1860s-1950s, hundreds of photographs and ephemera from Mumford, his family, and later generations, including newspapers, tintype albums, CDVs, cabinet cards, advertisements, presented loose and in albums. $1200/1800 Note: In a combined land and sea operation initially under the command of Commodore David Farragut and soon involving Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, Federal forces entered the mouth of the Mississippi River and assailed New Orleans, the largest city of the Confederacy, on 25 May 1862. Farragut sent a message from the Union fleet requesting Mayor John T. Monroe to remove the Confederate flags from the Custom House, Mint, and City Hall, as a sign of surrender. Monroe’s refusal caused Captain Henry W. Morris of the USS Pocahontas to send ashore an advance team of Marines, to physically remove the Southern flags and substitute Federal ones, while Farragut was still attempting to secure an official surrender from the mayor. As the Marines raised the American flag, an angry crowd gathered; they were warned that the Pocahontas would fire charges of grapeshot on anyone tampering with the Stars and Stripes. Notwithstanding that warning, William Bruce Mumford (c. 1820-1862) and six other Confederate sympathizers tore down the Union flag from the Mint. Mumford cut a staff to drop it, and indeed the Pocahontas fired; a sliver of stone dislodged by the shot slightly wounded him, but he carried the flag through rebellious citizens to the mayor at City Hall. By the time he arrived the remnant was almost unrecognizable, and General Butler - who had declared that no activity in support of secession would be tolerated – was incensed: I find the city under the dominion of a mob. They have insulted our flag – torn it down with indignity. Both the perpetrators and abettors [will be punished] so that they will fear the stripes, if they do not reverence the stars of our banner.

Butler took official control of the city on 1 May 1862, and Mumford was arrested for treason (despite his Union patriotism as a Union soldier during the Seminole and Mexican wars). On 30 May he was convicted by a military tribunal, sentenced on 5 June, and hanged “from a flag-staff projecting from one of the windows under the front portico” of the Mint, by now memorable as the scene of his crime, on 7 June 1862. He is buried in a vault at Cypress Grove Cemetery in New Orleans. On 18 June 1862 Thomas Overton Moore, the Confederate governor of Louisiana, declared Mumford a hero and a model. C. S. A. President Jefferson Davis, pointing out (as did Gen. Robert E. Lee) that the city was not yet in Yankee hands when the incident had occurred, issued a proclamation threatening Butler and his officers with death; but Gen. Butler eventually interceded for a job in Washington on behalf of Mumford’s widow Mary (c.1825-1912).

American School, early 20th c., “McIntyre & Heath, Billy Cumsand’s Georgia Minstrels”, signed “Dryden” lower left, 68 in. x 37 1/4 in., framed. $2500/3500 Note: Recent scholarship on blackface minstrelsy by authors such as Mel Watkins and Robert Toll has shown that, although appropriately condemned for its racial stereotyping, minstrel shows nonetheless played an important role in the development of American comedic theatre. The existence of a joint seminar in American minstrelsy at the Graduate Center at the City University of New York and the book that accompanied it, Inside the Minstrel Mask: Readings in Nineteenth-Century Blackface Minstrelsy show that research in this subject is still developing.

The editors of Inside the Minstrel Mask write, “Scholarship has been slow to examine minstrelsy because of its racist character. In the last twenty years, however, scholars have discovered that minstrelsy is a gigantic mirror, reflecting America’s struggle and policies on issues of race, class, and gender. By studying minstrelsy, we discover who we were and how we got to be who we are.”

This painting of the well-known minstrel duo of James McIntyre (1857-1937) and Thomas Kurton Heath (1853-1938) is based on the 1916 photo by Apeda Studios (now in the New York WorldTelegram and Sun Newspaper Photograph Collection, Library of Congress). The two Vaudeville performers joined forces in 1874 and soon became famous for their black-face characters of “Alexander Hambletonian” (played by McIntyre), a slow-witted stable boy, and “Henry Jones” (played by Heath), a clever entertainer who continually outwits his companion. The duo performed for more than fifty years and their most popular sketch, The Ham Tree, was used throughout their long career.

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.
