C E L E B RAT I NG O U R 7 5 T H A N N I V E RS A RY

When my grandfather first wielded the gavel way back in 1947, I am guessing he was hoping to just survive his first year in business, and the thought of Eldred’s lasting 75 years did not cross his mind. Yet, here we are, three-quarters of a century later, with continuous family ownership and the same charming location along on Cape Cod’s historic Route 6A. While Bob Eldred, Sr. would be amazed by the changes the business has undergone since his first auction, from phone and online bidding to digital photography and virtual auctions, I think he would be extraordinarily proud of how little has actually changed: Just like 75 years ago, we pride ourselves on personal service, honesty and hard work.

While we have grown from our humble roots as an estate auctioneer to a multi-department specialty house, we have not lost touch with our roots. An actual person answers the phone when you call, you may be greeted the wagging tail of one of our many four-legged friends when you walk in the door, and our summer auctions are still held outside under a tent in the salty Cape Cod breeze. Our goal is to offer the sophistication and quality merchandise of the largest auction houses but with the personalized service of your local auctioneer.

Reaching 75 years in business is an accomplishment to be celebrated, but it is one we recognize could not have happened without so many people throughout our history. To everyone who has worked here over the years, and the thousands of consignors and buyers who have entrusted us with their business, THANK YOU for helping us reach this incredible milestone.

I don’t know what the next 75 years will be bring, but I promise that as long as I am running things, we will continue to adapt with the times but will always remember our history -- we’ll continue to offer wonderful treasures and exciting discoveries with a smile and a handshake (real or virtual).

Graphometer with divided semicircle pierced and engraved with scrolls and inset with a glazed compass. Pivoted alidade with slit sights and vernier reading to the nearest minute of arc. Ball and socket joint. Includes original fitted leather-covered case. Displayed on a later box stand painted black. Height not including stand 9”. Diameter of arc 12”.

800/1,200 Provenance: Christie’s New York, Scientific Instruments Auction, 1986.

The Kelton Collection of Marine Art & Artifacts.

Exhibited: Pacific Asia Museum at U.S.C., Trade and Treasure Exhibition, 1987.

2051

The graphometer is a basic surveying instrument for measuring angles or bearings between two points. More than one sight can be taken to obtain a position by a fix or triangulation. This information can then be drawn on a chart or charted information can be compared to the visual sighting. The graphometer can also be used vertically to measure altitudes. To facilitate this use the instrument has a ball and socket joint to its mount. The graphometer was first described by Philippe Danfrie (d.1616) in Paris about 1597. It remained in use for more than 200 years.

It was frequently carried on ships for hydrographic surveying on landfalls. This is the type of instrument George Washington could have used as a young surveyor.

2052. 19TH CENTURY FRENCH SYMPIESOMETER Circa 1873 Essentially a compact alcohol barometer. Signed “Brevete S.G.D.G.” on the face below the thermometer. Brass-bound paper scales marked “Thermometre Centigrade” and “Hauteurs Barometriques”, and entitled “Barometre Absolu H.H. -- Preseute a la Academie des Sciences Juil’Pet 1873 --F.F.”. Housed in a solid hardwood case with a decoratively carved bamboo motif frame. Large legible paper label on the sliding back panel is titled “Mode D’emploi” and describes the use of the instrument’s barometer and thermometer functions. Inscribed at the bottom with the name and the address of the printer “Paris-Imprimerie Silvain Dennery, 40 rue des Blancs-Monteaux”. Reverse further marked with instructions on another label “Réglage du Baromètre (Regulating the Barometer)”.

By sliding down this back panel, which has ornate brass hangers, the interior mechanisms are revealed. At the top is a chart listing the altitudes of 50 various cities in France, entitled “Altitudes de quelques villea (France)”. Below this is a mercury thermometer and then the snaking barometer tube. In the middle is a chart similar to the one found at the top for “Belgique” and areas of “Alsace Lorraine” and “Bruxellea”. At the bottom is the sliding altitude scale adjustment “Pour regler le Barometre Altitude”, which is marked in meters from 0-500. Height 13”. Width 10.25”.

800/1,200 2052

Provenance: West Sea Company, Old Town San Diego, California, 2001.

The Kelton Collection of Marine Art & Artifacts.

The sympiesometer, invented by Scotsman Alexander Adie in 1818, is fitted with a large bulb mercury thermometer with built-in mechanical adjusting features to compensate for the observer’s altitude and temperature in order to ascertain an accurate barometric reading. The reading so obtained is in centimeters of mercury with the additional read-out (by means of a clever plumb-bob) indicating weather trends such as “Tres Sec, Variable, Tempete (Very Dry, Variable, Stormy)”. Sympiesometers are often combined with other marine instruments. This instrument is in working condition and is extremely rare, especially considering its French origin and manufacture.

Benjamin Lincoln (1733-1810), born to a wealthy and influential family of Hingham, Massachusetts, served as a major general during the Revolutionary War and was notably involved in three major surrenders: the Battle of Saratoga, the Siege of Charleston and at Yorktown.

He was involved in public service for most of his life, serving in his early adulthood as town constable and selectman and in the militia. As an elected member of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress in the 1770s, he sat on committees overseeing militia organization and supply, a uniquely beneficial experience once the Revolutionary War broke out. He was promoted to major general of the Massachusetts militia in 1776.

Lincoln served as second in command to Washington during the Yorktown campaign. British commanding officer General Cornwallis did not attend the surrender ceremony and thus British Brigadier General Charles O’Hara would surrender his sword. He first attempted to give it to George Washington, who declined and motioned to Lincoln, who accepted it.

Lincoln served as the first Secretary at War from 1781 to 1783, and in 1787 he was a member of the Massachusetts state convention that ratified the Constitution. He held various positions in state and federal government, including serving as Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts and Collector of the Port of Boston.

2206

Despite the major role he played in the Revolutionary War and the fledgling United States, Lincoln is not as well-remembered as many of his contemporaries. However, several towns and counties are named in his honor, particularly throughout the south, and his lifelong home was declared a National Historic Landmark. He is buried in Hingham.

D A N I E L R I D G WAY K N I G H T Pennsylvania/France, 1839-1924

Naturalist painter Daniel Ridgway Knight was born into a Quaker family from the Philadelphia area. Although he was intended to work in a hardware store, he instead enrolled in art school at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1858, then moved to France to study in 1861. There he befriended Impressionist painters Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley.

Knight returned home in 1863 to enlist in the Union Army as the Civil War approached Philadelphia. He would remain there for the next decade, teaching art and painting historical subjects and portraits. He returned to Paris on his honeymoon and would never again live in the U.S. He specialized in capturing French peasants in the field, influenced by the Barbizon School. The bucolic scenery and sentimental subjects appealed to patrons on both sides of the Atlantic.

EMILE ALBERT GRUPPE Massachusetts, 1896-1978

Emile Albert Gruppe was born in 1896 in Rochester, New York, into a family of artists. His father, a noted landscape painter, moved the family to the Netherlands, where he painted with The Hague School of Art and worked as an art dealer. The Gruppe family returned to the United States in 1913. Like his brothers and sisters, who would become cellists, sculptors and watercolorists, Emile began his art career shortly after his return to the United States.

Gruppe moved to Gloucester, Massachusetts, on Cape Ann, in the early 1930s. There he established the Gloucester School of Painting with his mentor, John Fabian Carlson. He was a well-respected teacher and his school, where students painted mostly en plen air, was well attended.

2692

Signed lower left “Emile A. Gruppe”.

Titled on Salmagundi Club label verso.

Oil on board, 12” x 10”. Framed 13.5” x 11.5”.

202

Gruppe painted predominantly in oils and used a palette of rich colors for his graceful brushstrokes and his carefully organized compositions. His early influences were primarily the major Impressionists, including Claude Monet, but toward the middle of his career he began combining Impressionist techniques, most especially the hallmark use of light, with a grittier Realism, often depicting the working harbor scenes of Gloucester. Although he is best known for landscapes, he also painted portraits and other figural pieces.

Later in his career, Gruppe established schools in Cambridge and Jefforsonville, Vermont, and he wintered in Naples, Florida. He painted almost every day, even well into his 70s, producing nearly 200 works each year. Along with Anthony Thieme, Aldro Hibbard, Marguerite Pierson, Antonio Cirino and W.L. Stevens, Gruppe is regarded as one of the most prominent of Rockport artists, and his works are in the collections of major museums across the country.

Having played a significant role in maintaining Wampanoag Indian identity for generations, this painting of the Gay Head (Aquinnah) cliffs depicts an Indian encampment located atop colorful Oak Bluffs. The Indian gazes across Buzzard’s Bay toward distant land in the east and two approaching ships. The two ships likely represent the 1602 arrival of the explorers Bartholomew Gosnold and John Brereton.

Gosnold’s ship Concord was the first known to travel down today’s Buzzards Bay and to stop at Martha’s Vineyard.

(In 1524 Verrazzano, probably in only one ship, had also explored the region, but not specifically Martha’s Vineyard.)

It’s believed Ferdinand Sylvaro (18681952) learned to weave Nantucket baskets from A.D. Williams, who had learned from William D. Appleton. Sylvaro owned the molds that had belonged to Davis Hall, the New South Shoal lightship keeper and noted basket maker in the late 1800s.

GLOSSARY OF TERMINOLOGY AND ADVICE TO BIDDERS Authorship of Paintings and Works of Art

Advice to Bidders

A.

1. Carefully read the Conditions of Sale.

B.

C.

LEMUEL D. ELDRED Massachusetts, 1848-1921 In our opinion, this is a work by the artist.

ATTRIBUTED TO LEMUEL D. ELDRED Massachusetts, 1848-1921 In our opinion, probably a work by the artist based on the style of the piece, however, the work lacks a signature, marking or adequate provenance to fully ascribe it.

MANNER OF LEMUEL D. ELDRED Massachusetts, 1848-1921 In our opinion, a work made in the style of the artist listed, most likely by a follower or student.

D. SCHOOL OF LEMUEL D. ELDRED

Late 19th Century In our opinion, a work executed at the time and in the style of the artist listed.

E.

AFTER LEMUEL D. ELDRED 20th Century In our opinion, a work made in the style of the artist listed, but not by the artist. Often used to describe a direct reproduction of an original work of art.

Ascribing Date of Origin If a date and location are included in a heading, it is our opinion the piece is essentially of the period and was made in the area indicated. The inclusion of the world “style” in the heading indicates the piece was made at a later date as an intentional reproduction of the earlier style.

2. Pre-sale estimates are provided by the auctioneers for the convenience of our customers. They are not meant to be taken as a guide to the value of an item, but as a guide to its expected selling price. Estimates are prepared well in advance of a sale and are subject to revision.

3. Carefully examine any item that you might consider bidding on for any variation from the catalog description. If you are unfamiliar with auction procedure or terminology, or if you would like clarification of a catalog description, please ask for assistance from our staff.
