A
year ago we were sailing in uncharted waters with the sudden onset of the COVID pandemic. We were facing uncertain times filled with anxiety, stress and difficult decisions. Our traditional Spring Sale became the “Early Summer Sale” as were forced to shut down operations for almost two months. When we finally were able to get back to business, no one was quite sure how the auctions would go -- after all, bidders could not attend the auction in person, and nobody knew what shape the economy was in.
What followed our reopening was both surreal and astounding. Our auctioneers traded their podiums and gavels for keyboards and mice, and they presided over a web of screens rather than a crowd, but the bidding never tapered off. In fact, it flourished. Over the second half of 2020 we saw a record number of new bidders and set numerous auction records. While we were certainly fortunate, we were also well-prepared. Eldred’s was the first New England auction house with a website and one of the first to embrace online bidding. This early adoption of digital marketing and sales gave us 20-plus years of experience to draw upon when we were forced to rely almost exclusively on it for our survival. While COVID is certainly far from over, there is an end in sight. As we look forward to the return to a sense of normal, we will remember the lessons learned during the crisis. We plan on expanding and refining our digital presence, but we are also equally committed to maintaining our roots by offering the finest in-person customer experience. Our goal has not changed – at Eldred’s, we strive to offer the hospitality and service of a country auction but with the sophistication and exceptional inventory of the finest city houses. We are proud of the offerings in this Spring Sale, and I am also eagerly looking ahead to the summer and fall, as we have some wonderful consignments already in-house, notably a private family collection with direct ties to Thomas Jefferson, a truly remarkable group of fresh-to-market scrimshaw, and fine paintings and antiques from a wide range of New England homes. We think 2021 will be one of the strongest years in our company’s long history, and we hope you will join us for not only this auction, but also for these exciting upcoming ones. As always, we appreciate your friendship and patronage. I look forward to seeing many of you in person over the coming months, but until then, I wish you good health and safe travels.

EXTENSIVE AND UNIQUE COLLECTION OF MEMORABILIA PERTAINING TO RHODE ISLAND’S CIVIL WAR HOSPITAL Mid-19th Century A U.S. Army General Hospital, named Lovell General Hospital, in the Portsmouth Grove area of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, was active from 1862 to 1865, caring for thousands of patients. The surgeon general of the U.S. Army authorized Rhode Island governor William Sprague IV to “provide suitable accommodations for wounded and sick soldiers” in May of 1862, and the first patients arrived at the hospital just a few months later, on July 6. Because some patients were Union soldiers convicted by court martial or were Confederate prisoners of war, guards were posted at the hospital, comprised of Rhode Island militia or two companies of Veterans Reserves Corp (VRC) soldiers. Katherine Prescott Wormeley, a key organizer of the United States Sanitary Commission, was an early superintendent of the hospital. The hospital was named after Joseph Lovell, who served as the Surgeon General of the United States Army from 1818 to 1836. After the hospital closed August 25, 1865, the buildings were dismantled or removed. The site was later used as a U.S. Navy coaling and oiling station, then as a PT-boat training base during World War II, but it is now in private hands. There are no remnants of the hospital that once stood.
Lot includes binders of letters written to or from patients in the hospital, including John W. Warner of the 1st New Hampshire Volunteer Cavalry, Whitman W. Bosworth of the 15th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, and John M. Lovejoy of the 121st New York Volunteers, a rare pre-printed envelope addressed to “Mr. G. Henry Prescott, U.S. General Hospital Ward 27, Portsmouth Grove, R.I.”, a binder of hospital-related ephemera, notably a handwritten mess hall menu, transfer orders, and a rare pass allowing admittance to the hospital grounds, binders of CdVs depicting the hospital grounds, patients, staff, Civil War-era notables, U.S. Naval Academy cadets from when the Academy was temporarily relocated to Newport, Rhode Island, from Annapolis, Maryland, and an image of what is believed to be an American Indian Union soldier while he was a patient at the hospital, a binder of ephemera pertaining to hospital nurses, contemporary reproductions of period photographs, an autograph album containing numerous signatures of Rhode Island Civil War soldiers, the extremely rare colored lithograph “Lovell General Hospital, U.S.A., Portsmouth Grove, R.I. View from Dyer’s Island”, printed by Endicott & Co., New York, and assorted other prints, ephemera and contemporary books. See a complete list at www.eldreds.com. 10,000/15,000 Provenance: Amassed over three decades by a Rhode Island military veteran and author. Statement from the collector is included with the lot.

JOHN BROWNE’S 1681 ANATOMICAL BOOK COMPLEAT TREATISE OF THE MUSCLES ... A Compleat Treatise of the Muscles, As they Appear in Humane Body, And Arise in Dissection; With Diverse Anatomical Observations Not yet Discover’d. By John Browne (1642-1700). [London]: In the Savoy, printed by Tho. Newcombe for the Author, 1681. Believed to be a 1st edition, with catchword on p. 60 matching the text on p. 63, which immediately follows. “Illustrated by near Fourty Copper Plates, Accurately Delineated and Engraven”. Retains all anatomical plates 1-37 but the frontispiece portrait has been removed. Inscribed on first free endpaper “William Speakman Anno Domini Jan 1727”. Large Q 12.25” x 8”. Impressed leather. 1,000/2,000 Provenance: Dr. Reed of Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. Many of the books in Reed’s collection were from the personal collection of Dr. William Keen, a Civil War surgeon and professor at Jefferson Medical College.
Considered John Browne’s most popular work, the book went through several editions and is more commonly known as “Myographia nova”, the title given to the 1684 Latin edition and all subsequent Latin and English editions. While it is also widely regarded as a complete plagiarism of a lesser-known text by William Molins and the plates are near-copies of ones by Casserio, it is also considered one of the most attractive and valuable anatomical volumes in English of the period. The inscription could pertain to William Speakman (c. 16851748), a baker, who left England and settled in Boston in the early 1700s, becoming quite prosperous in real estate. He was also an upstanding member of the Anglican church who owned the land on which the first Trinity Church was built in 1735.

REJECTION OF BIDS: The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any nominal raise or any bid or raise which, in his opinion, is not commensurate with the value of the article being offered.

Eldred’s may refuse to issue bidding privileges to any person not in good credit standing with Eldred’s, or to any person who is deemed by Eldred’s in its sole discretion, to be disruptive of or harmful to established auction practices, either before or after the acceptance of bids or the fall of the hammer. 6. TITLE: Except as herein otherwise provided, title will pass to the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer, and the property is thereafter at the purchaser’s sole risk and responsibility. 7. PAYMENT: On title passing to the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer, and subject to all the conditions set forth herein, such bidder will thereupon pay the full purchase price.
