Case Antiques, Inc. Winter Auction 2018 - January 27 1/27/2018 LOT # Louisville Commercial was the only Republican daily newspaper in Kentucky, and it also circulated in Southern Indiana and Middle and West Tennessee. According to one period description quoted in "Chronicling America," "its rigorous exposure of corruption and wastefulness in municipal affairs has given it strong local popularity and influence; it is a favorite in families and with business men, and the saloons and gambling dens are bitterly hostile towards it." Biderman DuPont, sole owner of the paper by 1874, had supported the Union cause and in an 1860 letter to his mother, wrote that "Slavery is a moral evil...." (source: Timothy J. Mullin, "The du Ponts in Kentucky," DLSC Faculty Publications, Western Kentucky University, 2009). In an 1873 ad the newspaper boasted it had "met the Democratic papers at every point and exposed their misstatements" (American Newspaper Directory, Vol. 4). Biography: "George Wilhelm (William) Frye (1822-1872) was a portrait artist from Germany who established a studio in Huntsville, Madison County; he also painted in Arkansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee. His depictions of life in the western Black Belt of Alabama were important records of the antebellum period in the state. He also tutored future Alabama artist Maria Howard Weeden for two years. Historians are able to follow his career through court records and the newspaper advertisements Frye placed in Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee; several advertisements in Alabama newspapers announce his relocations. By 1845, Frye had settled in Louisville, Kentucky, where he painted portraits, and he opened a second studio in Huntsville by March 1847 while maintaining the Louisville location at least into 1848. On May 18, 1848, he married Virginia Hale in Hunstville; the couple would have four children. He became a U.S. citizen on August 29, 1854, in Madison County. During the next several years, Frye opened temporary studios in numerous locations around the South, including Memphis, Tennessee, and advertised his services there for four months in 1857. Frye's growing reputation as a portrait painter prompted the Agricultural and Horticultural Society Fair of West Alabama to enlist him as a fine arts judge in 1859".

The stallion was foaled in 1853 in Malton, England by Iago out of Queen Mary by Gladiator, and originally owned by William l'Anson. Bonnie Scotland overcame an injury at age 2 and went on to win the Liverpool St. Leger, but collapsed while winning the Doncaster Stakes, and was retired to stud at the age of 3. His great fame ultimately came not as an English racehorse, but as one of America's great sires. He was imported to New York in 1857 by Captain Cornish of Massachusetts and stood at John Reeber's Fashion Stud in Lancaster, Ohio, and Col. W.F. Harper's farm Nantura in Woodford, Kentucky. Other owners included J.C. Simpson of Chicago, Illinois, and C.C. Parks of Waukegan, Illinois. Although the Civil War disrupted the sport of racing in America, Bonnie Scotland spent the early 1860s siring runners that would go on to successful track careers, including Dangerous, Malcolm, Bourbon Belle, and Frogtown. In 1872, General William Harding purchased Bonnie Scotland and brought him to Belle Meade, where the stallion was bred with higher quality mares and established one of the most important sire lines in America. According to American Classic Pedigrees, he was the leading sire in America (1880 and 1882, runner up in 1868 and 1871), and "his progeny were known for good looks, balance, and overall soundness." Clio Hogan's Index to Stakes Winners 1865-1967 credits him with 21 stakes winners. Some of the famous horses from his line include Bramble, Man-O-War, Sea Biscuit, War Admiral, Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Affirmed, and most

Bonnie Scotland died at Belle Meade in 1880, one year after this portrait was painted, having helped build Belle Meade's reputation as one of the great thoroughbred horse breeding nurseries in the world. Robert (Bob) Green was in charge of all the thoroughbreds at Belle Meade, a position which earned him international recognition. Born a slave, he was brought to Belle Meade in 1839 and thanks to his skill with horses, he soon became General Harding's right hand man, with four grooms working under his supervision. Green is credited with saving several horses from injury during an ill-fated railroad trip to New York, which was jeopardized by the Johnstown Flood of 1889. Following emancipation, Green became Belle Meade's highest paid employee, declining an offer from Fairview Farm in order to stay on with the Hardings. He led President Grover Cleveland on a tour of Belle Meade in 1887. According to Belle Meade Plantation's website, near the end of his life, Green was forced to move from the property where he had lived and worked for decades. His request to be buried there was granted in 1906, and he rests on the grounds today in an unmarked grave. Artist biography: Herbert Kittredge's untimely death at the age of 28 cut short a blossoming career in sporting art. Little is known about his youth and training. According to the book "Animal and Sporting Artists in America," in 1876, "the noted American thoroughbred breeder Randolph Huntington encouraged [Kittredge] to make equine portraiture his career while living on Huntington's stud in New York. Kittredge was commissioned to execute drawings of Leopard, an Arabian stallion, and Linden Tree, a Barbary stallion, both presented to General Ulysses S. Grant by the Sultan of Turkey in 1879." Kittredge's death at the age of 28 was reported in Wallace's Monthly, which stated in an editorial that "his first serious attempt to delineate a horse, so far as we know, may be found in the MONTHLY for October 1878." The young artist had come to the Wallace offices that year with a letter of introduction from Powell Bros. of Springboro, PA, and amazed the editors with his proofs of engravings of a Powell horse and several others. In fact, the magazine called Kittredge "the greatest and truest of all horse delineators the the world ever produced. We have studied the great masters, ancient and modern, and with the
LOT # single exception of Rosa Bonheur we have never seen one who could equal Kittredge." (Vol. 8, p. 694). The Hardings of Belle Meade were known to have commissioned works from America's finest sporting artists. Edward Troye (1808-1874) was an early favorite. After Kittredge's death, they engaged artists including Thomas Scott (see lot #111 in this auction) and Canadian-American painter Henry Stull (1851-1913) to paint portraits of their best horses. 36,000.00 - 40,000.00 110

He worked as a druggist in Philadelphia for a few years, but was in Kentucky painting horses by 1856. He studied with Edward Troye, both painting the famous sire Lexington for his owner R.A. Alexander of Woodburn Farm the very same year, 1857. Scott painted horses for the most important early turfmen in Kentucky including Dr. Elisha Warfield, John M. Clay, James Grinstead, and Major B.G.

County, TN collection. Biography (by James C. Kelly, Virginia Historical Society): "Portraitist Samuel M. Shaver was born in Sullivan County, the son of David Shaver and Catherine (Barringer) Shaver. He may have been influenced by William Harrison Scarborough (1812-1871), a native-born Tennessee artist, four years Shaver's senior, who did portraits of Shaver's relatives. Shaver's earliest known painting dates to 1845, but he was probably painting before that time. For the next quarter-century, he was East Tennessee's standard portraitist. In 1851 Shaver was professor of drawing and painting at the Odd Fellows Female Institute in Rogersville. In 1852 he advertised in Greeneville and Knoxville papers; for several years thereafter his whereabouts are unknown. The death of his first wife in January 1856 recalled him to Rogersville, where he remained until the Civil War. At the outset of the war, pro-Confederate Shaver moved to Knoxville, where he became one of the founders of the East Tennessee Art Association. The association commissioned him to do portraits of fifteen Confederate leaders and generals, presumably from photographs. None of the portraits have been located, and perhaps they were never painted. From 1863 to 1868 Shaver lived and worked near Russellville. About 1868 he joined his mother-in-law and family in Jerseyville, Illinois, near St. Louis, where he continued painting. He died June 21, 1878" 2,200.00 - 2,400.00 114

During this time he took part in group exhibitions across the United States, such as the Exhibition of Lithographs, Woodcuts, and Block Prints held in New York City in January of 1937. From that show, one of his etchings was selected to travel with the Society of American Etchers, which toured European Galleries, starting in Stockholm, Sweden, in the winter of 1937. In that same year, Mr. Pickup's work was also featured at the Sixth International Exhibition of Lithography and Wood Engraving, held at the Art Institute of Chicago, and he was once again featured internationally at an exhibition held in Scotland in 1939". 350.00 - 450.00

3 Woodrow Wilson Signed Letters Three (3) President Woodrow Wilson typed letters signed "Woodrow Wilson" as President and written on "The White House" letterhead. The 1913 letters were addressed to Lewis M. Coleman, U.S. District Attorney for East Tennessee, Chattanooga, TN, dated June 24, July 1, and July 24, 1913. The letters refer to Coleman's desire to appoint State Senator Lewis Shepard Pope (1878-1972) as Coleman's Assistant U.S. District Attorney for East TN. In the June 24 letter, Wilson writes "My dear Coleman, May I make this suggestion about the appointment of your subordinates: That you appoint no one who is a member of the present legislature of the State? I find we are apt to be tangled with a good deal of that sort of thing unless we resist it pretty steadily. The laws of most states forbid such appointments to state officers, and I think it would be wise for us to observe the principle of those laws in our federal appointments. I need not tell you what genuine pleasure it gave me to send your name into the Senate for District Attorney. In haste Faithfully yours, Woodrow Wilson". The July 1 letter is a direct follow-up to Coleman's response to the June 24 letter, reading "My dear Lewis: Of course, I did not intend to embarrass or limit you, and if you feel as you do about Mr. Pope of Pikeville, you may be sure I shall approve of your action. All I wanted was to suggest was a general policy. In haste, with warmest regard, Faithfully yours, Woodrow Wilson". The lengthier July 24 letter reiterates Wilson's reservations regarding Pope's appointment, stating "My dear Lewis: [Tennessee] Senator [Luke] Lea ([1879-1945)] came in to see me yesterday and made certain statements concerning Mr. Pope...He said that Mr. Pope was one of the men in the Senate of the State who took part by his vote in preventing a thorough investigation of certain malfeasances in office which it had long been the demand of the public should be uncovered and dealt with. I, of course, know nothing of the circumstances, and I have not retained in my mind the details of the matter as Senator Lea related them to me. The sum and substance of it is, he believes that Mr. Pope ignored the pledges under which he was acting as representative of the people (pledges which he had explicitly made that he would facilitate the necessary investigations). I hope with all my heart that you are enjoying the duties of your

1 John Marshall Signed Letter to Son, dated 1832 Handwritten letter from John Marshall (1755-1835), 4th Chief Justice of the United States. ALS. 2pg. September 18, 1832. No place. A lengthy autograph letter signed "J Marshall" to his son James K. Marshall. He communicated about financial matters, and wrote in part: "After writing to you it occurred to me that the money for Mr. Hicks and Mr. Ambler might be required immediately, and that you might have written to them that it was deposited in the bank. Under this impression I requested Mr. Lynch, the backer, to sell two shares for the most he could get, but not to sell more than two for less--This would leave you 111.50. He has departed somewhat from instructions and has sold thirteen shares for 111.75 leaving you 111.25. I am confident that more cannot now be obtained, and am not sure that this price will hold. The rise is to be attributed to the opinion that the Bank of the United States will not be rechartered, and--speculation on a great rise in state stock when the present charter shall expire. All this is speculation. I was under the necessity of employing a broker as I could not, in the present state of things, have found a purchaser myself--I shall sell the remaining three shares at the same price is an opportunity offers unless you direct otherwise, and shall place the money to the credit of the Farmer's bank in Winchester". Marshall was correct; the Second Bank of the United States, which was a campaign issue in 1832 (and vehemently opposed by Andrew Jackson) was not rechartered; it became private in 1836 and liquidated in 1841. The letter has mailing folds and dark ink. The address leaf, completed in the Chief Justice's handwriting, is still attached although the top third of it is missing but not affecting any words. 7 5/8" H x 6 3/8" W.

An autograph letter signed "J Marshall" as Chief Justice to his wife Polly. He wrote in part: "I am very much gratified yesterday at receiving a letter from my Grand daughter giving me all the news of Richmond, and that which was more delightful than any other--that your health was as good as usual. Tell her I am much obliged by her letter, and very much pleased to find she writes so agreeably. I did not perceive a single fault in her letter. I was very much surprised the other day on my return from court to be met to Jacqueline. He staid [sic] a day or two in the city and surpized [sic] me still more by the object of his visit than by his visit itself. He came to purchase a carriage and a pair of horses, and did actually make the purchase. I did not see either the carriage or horses--I was never more closely occupied than I am this winter and have been from the commencement of the court. Mornings seem to agree with me. I eat hearty and sleep soundly. If I could take a peep every now and them at our dear fire side and my dearer wife I should be quite content.

After spending time with her at many dances, Marshall asked the sixteen year old to marry him. Becoming flustered, Mary refused. She quickly realized her error and sent a cousin riding after Marshall to give him a lock of her hair. Marshall returned the lock of hair, entwined with a lock of his own, which was encased in a locket. They were soon married after a short courtship. Mary Marshall wore the locket until shortly before her death in 1831. She gave the locket back to Marshall who wore it as a reminder of her until his death in 1835. He wrote a year after her death "I have lost her! And with her I have lost the solace of my life! Yet she remains still the companion of my retired hours--still occupies my inmost bosom. When I am alone and unemployed, my mind unceasingly turns to her'". (Source: https://preservationvirginia.org/visit/property-de tail/mary-willis-ambler-polly-marshall).

Biography (courtesy AskArt: The Artists' Bluebook): Known for his American portraits of historical interest, William Hubard was born in Warwick, England. In 1824, his early talent for cutting likenesses in paper resulted in him being brought to the United States. Gilbert Stuart persuaded Hubard to begin oil portraits, and with the encouragement of fellow artist Thomas Sully, he set up a studio as a portrait painter in 1829. He exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the Boston Athanaeum. Between 1838 and 1851, he added genre and historical themes to his repertoire and in 1850 began sculpture. He built a foundry to produce bronzes of Jean-Antoine Houdon's marble statue of George Washington, but they sold poorly, leaving him in search of ways to supplement his income. When the Civil War began, Hubard retrofitted his foundry to manufacture rifles for the Confederacy, but was killed in an accidental explosion there.

For the Honor of the District, I wish the Majority had been greater, but let us be content, and hope, as the tide is [turning, the current] will soon run strong on our favor.

Note: This was not Marshall's first political victory. In 1782, he was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates, and remained there for seven years; he was again elected to the Virginia House from 1795 to 1796. In 1788, Marshall served as a delegate to the Virginia convention that ratified the new Federal constitution; Marshall was a staunch supporter of the new government. He declined Washington's offer of Attorney General. During the Adams administration, he declined an appointment to the Supreme Court, but he represented the United States during the infamous XYZ Affair. His 1799 election to the House of Representatives was his first Federal victory; Marshall was helped because of his support from Patrick Henry. In 1800, President Adams named Marshall Secretary of State and the next year, Adams nominated him to become the fourth Chief Justice. The "Mr. Hancock" mentioned is most likely the Virginia Congressman George Hancock, who served in the House of Representatives from 1793 to 1797. The letter and attached address leaf are glued to a larger board and framed; paper loss affects about twenty words. The Library of Congress owns a letterbook copy of this letter and the missing words can be ascertained. According to The American Book Prices

KY document archive inc Adair signed Archive of mostly Kentucky related documents, including legal documents related to early Jefferson County settler Richard Chenoweth (who lost several family members and whose wife was scalped in the notorious Chenoweth Massacre of 1789), plus documents bearing signatures of KY Governor John Adair and Mississippi Governor Tilghman M. Tucker, along with numerous other documents, about 60 total. The archive includes an 1822 acquittal signed by Governor John Adair in the case of James K. Welch, who was fined $136 by the Jefferson Circuit Court "for permitting a nuisance to remain in his cellar". Counter signed by J. Cabell Breckenridge, Secretary, and Worden Pope, clerk. Also included is an 1869 Civil War pension application and reciept for Elizabeth Mitchell, widow of Union Lt. Col. Samuel Mitchell. The dozen or so Chenoweth documents appear to be related to a 1797-1801 court case involving Chenoweth (1735-1802) and Thomas Curry vs. James Denny (Denney). They include a manuscript copy of a land survey for Chenoweth, dated 1783-1785, with hand drawn map, for 2000 acres in Jefferson County along the west branch of Floyd's Fork; and an 1801 Kentucky Court of Appeals judgement in a court case finding "manifest error has occurred to the great damage of the said [Richard] Chenoweth and [Thomas] Curry", defendants in the case brought by James Denny over a land dispute, ordering the error "should be corrected
in due manner and that full and speedy justice should be done to the parties in this behalf". The order is signed by Achilles Sneed, clerk of the Court of Appeals from 1801 until he was ousted in 1824 as a result of the Old Court-New Court controversy. (In that controversy, the Kentucky General Assembly abolished the Kentucky Court of Appeals, the state's highest court at that time, and replaced it with a new court. The justices refused to recognize the validity of that action, and for a time, two separate courts operated as the court of last resort in Kentucky, pushing the state to the brink of Civil War. Sneed refused a legislative mandate to turn over his records to the New Court by January 1825, so Francis Blair, the New Court clerk, assembled a group that broke into Sneed's office and took what records they could find; Sneed was subsequently charged with contempt of court). This archive also includes numerous other documents related to court cases from 1785 through 1871 and some documents from Mississippi, Maryland and Louisiana (including one signed by New Orleans mayor William Freret in 1841), a marriage certification for William Wisehart and Mary Hines of Hamilton County, Ohio, signed by Peter Bell; and a freight receipt for wares (including sugar and earthenware) transported between New Orleans and Louisville. Note that one document bears a 20th century purple stamp "Old Circuit Common Law". Some of the documents, including one with "signatures" of Richard Chenoweth and wife Margaret, appear to be old manuscript copies. 400.00 - 500.00 281

Note: Tennessee's first constitution was adopted in 1796 in Knoxville by a convention of 55 delegates. According to historian J. G. M. Ramsey, Thomas Jefferson, author of the United States Constitution, described the Tennessee constitution as the “least imperfect and most republican of the state constitutions.� In 1834, a
state constitutional convention was held in Nashville with 60 delegates in attendance and presided over by William Carter. It revised the constitution to reflect the state's growing population (more than 6 times its size in 1796) and to update the court system and address some of the problems in the original constitution. This revision was centered mainly on taxation to reflect the state's increasingly urban nature and the courts (providing for a state Supreme Court with three judges, one from each grand division of the state). It also required the legislature to cherish literature and science and established the common school fund. Although anti-slavery advocates petitioned the convention to abolish slavery, their efforts were rebuffed, and in fact the delegates specifically limited suffrage to white males, disenfranchising free black men (who had the right to vote under the 1796 constitution). The next revision of the Tennessee State Constitution (which would abolish slavery) would not take place until 1870, after the Civil War. Provenance: The estate of Dr. Benjamin H.

Another male of the same species, answering the call of despair from his "fellow creature," comes swiftly downwards to rescue the sufferers. With open bill he is already prepared to strike a vengeful blow at the reptile, his bright eye glancing hatred at his foe. See a third grappling with the snake, and with all its might tearing the skin from its body! Should this alliance of noble spirits prove victorious, will it not remind you that innocence, although beset with difficulties, may, with the aid of friendship, extricate herself with honour? "The birds in the case represented were greatly the sufferers: their nest was upset, their eggs lost, and the life of the female in imminent danger. But the snake was finally conquered, and a jubilee held over its carcass by a crowd of Thrushes and other birds, until the woods resounded with their notes of exultation. I was happy in contributing my share to the general jor, for, on taking the almost expiring bird into my hand for a few minutes, she recovered in some degree, and I restored her to her anxious mate."The Brown Thrush, or Thrasher, by which names this bird is generally known, may be said to be a constant resident in the United States, as immense numbers are found all the year round in Louisiana, the Floridas, Georgia, and the Carolinas." - Source: www.audubon.org . 500.00 - 600.00 303

No studio marks. 2 1/2" H x 4 1/4" W. Biography: "In 1866 the Fisk Free Colored School was established in Nashville, Tennessee by the American Missionary Association. Housed in abandoned Union hospital barracks, Fisk set out to educate former slaves with the support of donations from former abolitionists. As those donations declined over the next five years, Fisk fell on hard times. To save the institution, Fisk’s treasurer, George Leonard White, decided to gamble on the extraordinary voices of the young black singers who had begun to share with him the songs of their ancestors. In 1871, over the objections of his colleagues and sponsors, White and his assistant, a young African American pianist named Ella Sheppard, led a choir of nine young former slaves (now called the Fisk Jubilee Singers) from Nashville to perform for congregations in the North along the route of the Underground Railway".

There are many documents concerning the movement of goods and cattle throughout Tennessee. There are also letters to C. B. Huggins regarding cattle for General Forrest's command.

Case Antiques, Inc. Winter Auction 2018 - January 27 1/27/2018 LOT # remained 3 hours and left. They order all soldiers to report by the 20th instant. They will treat them as outlaws after that time". The book "Notable Men of Tennessee, with Portraits," by Judge John Allison gives this biographical information about C.B. Huggins: "Our subject’s boyhood days were spent in his native county, where he received limited educational advantages. He began his business career as clerk in a mercantile establishment, and afterward engaged in the grocery business two years with J. W. Nelson, in Lebanon, Tenn., and then returned to Murfreesboro, and after clerking a number of years, engaged in the dry goods business with Isaac Lohman, and afterward with his father and brother in the grocery business, continuing until 1857. Mr. Huggins was in the commissary department of the Confederate Army after the battle of Stones River until the surrender. Since that time he has followed different occupations. He was connected with the First National and Stone River Bank as teller, but of late years has devoted his time and means to general trading and speculation". The Huggins family went on to start a long-running Coca Cola Bottling Plant in Murfreesboro in what was originally a waterworks and ice plant, opened in 1902. 67th-73rd items: Seven (7) Civil War letters from William C. Medders, 24th Regiment, Tennessee Infantry, Company G. Six of the letters are addressed to Mr. H. C. Medders, his father, and one of the letters is written to his sister, Miss Linney Medders, Hillsboro, TN. The dates of the letters range from August 1862-April 1863 from various locations in Middle and East Tennessee, including one letter dated August 5, 1862, written in a camp near Chattanooga, four letters dated March 28, April 2, 10, and 20, written in camps near Shelbyville, TN, one letter dated October 27 186_ [exact date illegible], and one undated letter with no location. The August 5, 1862 letter refers to the regiment's participation in battles in Mississippi: "I saw J. W. Johnson the day that we left Tupelo he was well at the time...". The April 2, 1863 letter provides a glimpse into camp activities, his approximate location, and the general morale of the soldiers reading "I herd [sic] some commanding yesterday the Boys are generally well at this time we hav [sic] to drill twice (?) a day we think it is hard to drill all the time I don't no [sic] how mutch [sic] closter [sic] we [are] to

In the same letter he also gives their approximate location stating "I [can't] tell whether we hav [sic] got any closter [sic] to Wartrace or not I think it is about 7 miles and it is 7 miles to Shelbyville from Wartrace...". The majority of the letters, written while Medders was stationed in camps away from fighting, contain assurances that he is well, inquiries about the family, and requests for his mother to knit him socks and for his father to buy him a horse. Note: "The Twenty-fourth Tennessee (Confederate) Regiment was organized in June 1861, at Camp Anderson, near Murfreesboro, and comprised twelve companies raised in the counties of Williamson, Rutherford, Maury, Bedford, Coffee, Smith, DeKalb, Sumner, Hickman and Perry. It was first commanded by Col. R D Allison, and later by Col. Bratton and Col. John Wilson. It moved into Kentucky and was stationed at Cave City in October. At this time it was in Col. Shaver's brigade of Hardee's division. It was in Gen. Strahl's brigade during the most of the war. It participated in the pitched battle of Shiloh, losing many, and was reorganized at or near Corinth; thence moved via Chattanooga on the Kentucky campaign, and was severely engaged at Perryville. It then retreated with Bragg's army, and on December 31, 1862, participated in the charge at Murfreesboro, losing again heavily. It moved south, and in September, 1863, was engaged at Chickamauga, and later participated at Missionary Ridge. In 1864 it was in all the leading engagements in the famous Georgia campaign, and in the aggregate lost heavily. It moved with Hood's army to Jonesboro; thence to Tennessee, where it participated at Franklin and Nashville; thence moved to North Carolina, and in the spring of 1865 surrendered at Greensboro".

Note: Charles Willson Peale and his sons established museums in Philadelphia (1784), Baltimore (1814) and other cities in the late 1700s and early 1800s. By 1802, Peale had introduced British inventor John Hawkins’s (1772–1855) physiognotrace device at his Philadelphia museum to cut bust length silhouettes for museum visitors. While the operator traced the sitter’s head, the mechanism impressed the image onto a piece of paper. Former slave Moses Williams was hired as the initial operator; other sihouettists worked from the 1810s-1830s at both the Philadelphia and Baltimore museums. The "Museum" stamp was used in both locations. Source: Anne Verplank, "Peales Museum Silhouettes," Oct. 16, 2012 (https://www.incollect.com/articles/peales-muse um-silhouettes ) . 500.00 - 700.00 615

Inscribed G Michael, back of base. 11 5/8 H x 6 3/4" W x 6" D. American, mid/late 20th century. Provenance: The estate of Dr. Benjamin H. Caldwell, Nashville, Tennessee. Biography (from "Self-Taught, Outsider and Folk Art: A Guide to American Artists, Locations and Resources", By Betty-Carol Sellen, and "The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture: Volume 23: Folk Art", edited by Carol Crown, Cheryl Rivers, Charles Reagan Wilson): Georgia Blizzard, also known as Georgia Michael, was born in Saltville, Virginia and lived in Chilhowie, Virginia. She had a mixed heritage including Apache and Irish ancestry. Her mother taught Blizzard and her sister how to create art using a pit-fire method. As a young girl, she began to make items from clay dug from a creek near her home. She continued to make items and "burn" them in a homemade "pit-fire" kiln on her property. During the Great Depression, she left school in order to be part of the National Youth Administration. She worked in a munitions factory in Bristol during World War II and after that, worked at a textile mill in Chilhowie until 1958. Blizzard contracted black lung and lost one of her lungs, and her husband was crippled in an accident in a coal mine and eventually their marriage failed; he subsequently died in 1954. Blizzard developed paranoid schizophrenia after these events and her art helped her deal with the feelings she needed to work through. She began making art for sale in the late 1950s and sold her pottery in her daughter Mary's shop on her property. In the early 1980s, her neighbor, Michael Martin, contacted a friend to take some of Blizzard's work to a gallery in Buckhead run by Judith Alexander, where Jonathan Williams discovered her work. Blizzard's works are on permanent display at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum in Williamsburg, VA and The High Museum in Atlanta. 250.00 - 350.00

The newly-formed business took over the idled brewery at 22nd Street and Avenue E operated by the Birmingham Brewing Company, which went bankrupt during the financial panic of 1893. In 1906 the company acquired additional property on Powell Avenue and engaged the firm of Wheelock, Joy & Wheelock to design a commercial building that could be leased to William Wise to operate a saloon. Jefferson County residents voted on October 28, 1907 to enact a local prohibition on alcohol sales. The brewery was given until May 28 to dispose of its stock and ended up pouring 300 barrels into the street that day. The owners continued doing business as an ice manufacturer until 1917".

Please note that bidders in New York and New Jersey may not bid on any lots containing elephant ivory, mammoth ivory, or rhinoceros horn. Items containing ivory can only be shipped to an address in the United States. Bidders should check all applicable government wildlife restrictions prior to placing a bid. The buyer will be solely responsible for obtaining any necessary license or permits applicable to the sale or transport of the item(s) including any export or import license and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation.
