J. Stogdell Stokes (1870-1947) was a Philadelphia industrialist and pioneering collector of early Pennsylvania furniture and decorative arts. He served as director of the Philadelphia Museum of Arts from 1937 to 1947 and many items from his collection are currently in the Museum.

Lot 262 (detail)

20th Century Design lots 1-36

The Collection of the late Mr. Peter Engelmann Freeman’s is pleased to present works from the Collection of the late Mr. Peter Engelmann of Charlottesville, Virginia.

Born in Germany, Peter Engelmann studied at Robert College in Istanbul and later received his Master’s degree in Civil Engineering from M.I.T. Mr. Engelmann spent the majority of his professional career employed by the World Bank, where he spent his tenure as a Civil Engineer engaged in the planning and design of urban and transportation projects. His extensive travels took him to Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East, exposing him to art & design that would later inform his own foray into the art world. His paintings reflect an engineer’s sensibility, rendering geometric forms on canvas in a manner reminiscent of the surveying and mapping in which he was engaged as an engineer.

The Engelmanns began purchasing furniture from George Nakashima in 1967 with a commission for an extraordinary black walnut Slab coffee table (Lot 1). Featuring a large walnut slab and single butterfly joint in rosewood, the natural outline of the top is reminiscent of the jagged angles of Mr. Engelmann’s own paintings, perhaps reflecting his influence on the commission. At 75 by 32 inches, the table is among the larger examples of this form executed by George Nakashima at his New Hope studios. Among later works the Englemanns ordered from Nakashima Studios are a rocker and lounge chair with Nakashima’s signature “Free-Edge” Arm (Lots 2 & 3), and an unusual Conoid Cushion Chair with Arms (Lot 4), one of only a dozen or so made, this example executed under the direction of Mira Nakashima in 2004.

Arguably the greatest American furniture craftsman of the inter-wars period, Wharton Esherick created paintings, sculpture, furniture, woodcuts, and set designs of great imaginative scope. Spanning the Arts & Crafts movement, Cubism and German Expressionism, Esherick helped elevate woodworking to fine art, imbuing his furniture with great sculptural quality and movement. His oeuvre and creative spirit have served as a point of departure for subsequent generations of craftsmen including Wendell Castle, Sam Maloof, and Arthur Espinet Carpenter, to name a few.

As a young man, Wharton attended the Central Manual Training School and later the Pennsylvania Museum School of Industrial Art and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts where he pursued an education in painting and drawing. Upon graduation, Wharton worked as an illustrator for a local newspaper and later the Victor Talking Machine Company in Camden, New Jersey.

Using skills developed from carving woodcuts for print-making, one of his great artistic pursuits in its own right, Wharton set about carving sculpture and designing furniture.

Wharton Esherick’s artistic endeavors were informed and enlivened by his wife and children, and the family’s mutual artistic exploration with dance, music, theater, and progressive education.

Through his paintings and sculpture, Wharton elevated the human body to the realm of the divine, aligning his muses with the movement and eternal soul of the natural world.

The construction of a new studio in 1926 set on a hillside in Paoli, Pennsylvania presented opportunities for the artist to literally carve his personality and creative voice into the structure. Wharton used exotic woods like rosewood, padouk, and cocobolo alongside timber from walnut, cherry, chestnut and oak sourced locally. Among his more important partnerships, Wharton began a life-long relationship with the Hedgerow Theatre in the late 1920s. Esherick found great inspiration from the playhouse. His children performed on the stage, while he created furniture and set designs for the productions.

Throughout the 1930s, he would produce some of his most important and personal works, including Essie, a six-foot representation of his daughter Mary in her role in George Bernard Shaw’s The Devil’s Disciple, one of Hedgerow Theatre’s productions. Essie was later renamed Genesis XXIV-16 and sold as Rebecca. Over the next several years, Esherick was involved with several important commissions, including the Curtis Bok residence in Gulph Mills, Pennsylvania. By the 1960s, Esherick’s work had been featured in several exhibitions at prominent institutions including the Detroit Institute of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Whitney Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Despite suffering a stroke in 1967, Wharton Esherick continued to develop his craft before passing in 1970. Since 1972, the Wharton Esherick Museum has preserved and presented Esherick’s work and studio to the public. His work is represented in several public and private collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Art Insitute of Chicago, the Boston Museum of Fine Art, and the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery. literature: Mansfield Bascom, Wharton Esherick: The Journey of a Creative Mind, New York: Abrams, 2010.

Diam: 4 3/4 in. (medallion) provenance: From the Collection of Joan Carson Havens. note: Jean-Baptiste Nini created this commemorative medallion at the bequest of Jacques Donatien Le Ray de Chaumont (1726-1803), businessman and personal friend and supporter of Franklin’s. It, along with subsequent versions, were incredibly popular in France during

Franklin’s ambassadorial stay there in the late 1770s, as evidenced by Franklin’s 1779 letter to his daughter: “The clay medallion you say you gave to Mr. Hopkinson was the first of the kind made in France. A variety of others have been made since of different sizes; some to be set in the lids of snuffboxes, and some so small as to be worn in rings; and the numbers sold are incredible. These, with the pictures, busts, and prints, (of which copies upon copies are spread everywhere), have made your father’s face as well known as that of the moon...It is said by learned etymologists, that the name doll, for the images children play with, is derived from the word IDOL.

119 134064/4 Rare canvas worked furniture or “chest” cover mary flower (1744-1778), philadelphia, pa, initialed “MF” and dated “1767” Brightly colored worsted yarns worked in Irish stitch with a bouquet of flowers tied with a ribbon, bearing the initials “MF” at one end and the date “1767” on the other, edged with wool fringe.

42 in. x 19 1/2 in. (including fringe) provenance: Estate of Patricia B. Wells, Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania.

A typed note accompanies canvas work: “This needlework was completed in 1767 by Mary Flower (1744-1778), dau of Enoch Flower (1705-1773) and Anne (Jones) Flower (1711-1775). Enoch was a grandson of Enoch Flower (16351684), the first school master appointed by Wm. Penn and the Provincial Council of Pennsylvania.

Mary F’s mother was a dau. of John Jones (1677-1742) and Elizabeth (Fox) Jones (1686-1742), early Quaker residents of Philadelphia.

This piece presumably passed to Mary’s sister Ann (1743-1778), who married Samuel Wheeler (17421820) in 1765. It probably then

became the property of their dau.

Elizabeth F. Wheeler (1776-1829), who m. Joseph Paul (1771-1849) in 1801. Eventually it became the property of Joseph & Elizabeth Paul’s great granddaughter Mary Paul Morris (1871-1945), dau. of Wm Henry Morris (1846-1924) and Sallie Wheeler Paul (1845-1924) who married Paschall Hollingsworth Morris (1867-1940) in 1890.

Inherited by their dau. Marjorie Paul Morris (1895-1973), who m. George Farnam Brown (1886-1961) in 1920.

Inherited in 1973 by their dau.

Patricia Paul Brown (1923- 2014) who married M. Henry Wells (b.

1914) in 1950.” note: Referred to by Wells’ family tradition as the “chest cover,” this may be a unique example of its form to survive in Colonial period needlework, created to enliven the surface of chest of drawers or dressing table. The floral bouquet, as noted by the late scholar Betty Ring, reflects Philadelphia’s “preference for depicting flowers” as well as the asymmetrical depiction of nature and the twisting leafage and flowers of the Rococo period.

The chest cover is part of a well

known, unrivaled and varied group of 18th century Philadelphia needlework worked by Mary Flower and her two sisters Ann (1743-1778) and Elizabeth (1742-1781). The sisters produced extraordinary and elaborate display pieces as well as utilitarian ones. Mary worked two silk needlework pictures considered to be among the finest of American 18th century silk embroideries: the first, depicting a fox hunt entitled the “Chace” (sold at Christies New York, January 28, 1995, Lot 1075, from The Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Eddy Nicholson) and the second, a pastoral scene, are illustrated and discussed in Betty Ring’s Girlhood Embroidery: American Samplers and Needlework 1650-1850 Vol II (1993), Figs. 379 and 380. Other needlework attributed to Mary Flower include a canvas work pocketbook, and possibly a flamestitched Bible cover, both now part of the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Ann and Elizabeth Flower created the only known examples of Philadelphia embroidered coat-ofarms; Elizabeth’s sold at Christie’s New York, January 21, 1989, lot 470, and is illustrated and discussed in

Morrison H. Heckscher and Leslie Greene Bowman, American Rococo, 1750-1775 (1992), p.12, No. 10; the other is in the collection of Winterthur. A sketchbook created

by Ann Flower in the 1760s is in the collection of Winterthur, and the sisters’ needlework have been the subject of Amanda Isaac’s master’s thesis, Winterthur Program in Early American Culture, University of Delaware (2004) and article in the Winterthur Portfolio, Vol. 41. No. 2/3 Summer/Autumn 2007, pp. 141-160.

Mary, Ann and Elizabeth were the children of Enoch Flower—a prosperous Philadelphia cutler, a maker of iron tools for commercial, domestic and medical uses—and Anne Jones Flower, the daughter of a Philadelphia merchant and brewer.

Enoch was the grandson of Enoch Flower (1635-1684) the first schoolmaster appointed by William Penn and the Provincial Council of Pennsylvania. Flower was active in the Philadelphia Colony in Schuylkill, The Library Company and in Benjamin Franklin’s mutual improvement discussion Junto group. $20,000-30,000

The side chair and high chest are illustrated in The Magazine Antiques (April, 1969). They further noted that a Philadelphia dressing table and armchair with the same pendant shell and knee carving, in a private New York collection, appear to be en suite with the above-mentioned high chest of drawers $3,000-5,000

provenance: From the Collection of Joan Carson Havens. note: The “Quaker Farmer” pattern is most readily associated with the Morris family of Philadelphia. Mary Hollingsworth Morris, to whom the design is attributed, and her husband Isaac Morris were both Quakers. Mary’s brother, Henry, was involved in the China trade and purportedly had two porcelain services

decorated with his sister’s design in the early 1800s.

142 134064/8 Philadelphia School 18th century rare miniature portrait of benjamin flower (1748-1781), colonel in the artillery artificers regiment and commissary general of military stores.

Watercolor on ivory, later gilt metal case.

1 3/4 in. x 3/8 in. (sight) provenance: Estate of Patricia B. Wells, Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania. note: Handwritten note inside case, “Col. Benjamin Flower born 1748 d. Apr 28-1781 buried in Christ Church.

Colonel and commissary of military stores Corp raised by direction Genl.

Washington in 1777 Companies stationed in Carlisle & Phila. DutiesCast Cannon-bore guns-prepare Ammunition.”

According to correspondence from Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin Flower (1748-1781) to George Washington, dated 1 May 1779, Flower was “on the 16th July 1776...appointed by the Congress Commissary of Military Stores for the Flying Camp in the Army of the United States, in which capacity and that of Assist. Qur Masr Genl [he] acted til the close of that year.” On 16th January 1777, he was appointed Commissary General of Military Stores in Philadelphia and Carlisle, with the Rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Army of the United States; he also served as Lieutenant Colonel in the Regiment of Artillery Artificers. Flower died in 1781 and is buried at Christ Church in Philadelphia.

An original member of The State Society of the Cincinnati of Pennsylvania, Flower is perhaps best recognized for his successful execution of instructions to save the Liberty Bell from British capture during the American Revolution in 1777: “Ordered: that Colonel Flower employ James Worrell, Francis Allison and Mr. Evans, Carpenters, or such other workmen as he may think proper to employ, to take

down the Bells of all the public Buildings in this city and convey them to safety.”

In this miniature portrait Colonel Flower is presented in his regimentals as the commander of the Continental Artillery Artificer Regiment; his elevated rank is denoted by his elegant dress as he wears his black-faced red regimental uniform with paired gilt epaulets.

Flower is presented similarly, though also wearing a hat and holding a

sword, in the full-length portrait by Charles Willson Peale (1741-1827), currently in the collection of the Star Spangled Banner Flag House in Baltimore, Maryland. From 18071857 the house was home to Flower’s niece, Mary Young Pickersgill (1776-1857)—daughter of Rebecca Flower Young (1739-1819), Benjamin’s sister and an early documented American flagmaker.

Pickersgill sewed the flag hoisted over Fort McHenry during the Battle

of Baltimore in the War of 1812—the inspiration for Francis Scott Key’s “Star Spangled Banner.” Benjamin Flower is also directly related to Mary Flower (1744-1778), maker of the canvas worked furniture cover offered as Lot 119 in today’s sale $6,000-8,000

Image size: 20 3/4 in. x 16 3/4 in.

Overall: 24 in. x 20 in. provenance: Proceeds to benefit the Vineland Historical & Antiquarian Society, Vineland, New Jersey.

The Hon. John A. Ackley of Vineland, New Jersey is listed as an auctioneer and realtor in Who’s Who in New Jersey: Cumberland County Edition, 1923, pp. 45, 174-175. He was elected State Senator in 1913. note: Chang and Eng Bunker—for whom the term “Siamese Twins” was coined on account of their birthplace of Siam (now Thailand)—were first discovered in 1824 by the British merchant Robert Hunter and American ship captain Abel Coffin.

Later, envisioning the human oddities as entertainers with great lucrative potential, Hunter and Coffin offered money to the twins’ parents in exchange for their permission to take Chang and Eng touring in Europe and America. The parents accepted the proposed sum ($3,000-though they only ever received $500), thereby placing Chang and Eng (then 18 years old) under contract until their twentyfirst birthday.

After the expiration of the contract in 1832, the twins continued touring under self-management for the next seven years. In 1839, they settled in Wilkes County, North Carolina, became American citizens, and adopted the last name of “Bunker.”

They married sisters Adelaide (1823-1917) and Sarah Anne (18221892) Yates, on April 13, 1843, and between them had twenty-one children.

According to the 1833-1839 account book in the Chang and Eng Bunker Papers, held in the Wilson Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chang and Eng spent “long runs...in Philadelphia.” Here Chang is known to have displayed his notoriously volatile temper: while visiting the city, Chang supposedly assaulted a man after he squeezed his hand too hard, but the twins avoided jail due to Eng’s innocence; additionally, in 1836, Chang, at that time content with his conjoined state, purportedly tried to kick Thomas Harris, a Philadelphia doctor who suggested he could surgically separate the twins.

Later, before their nuptials, the twins traveled to the College of Surgeons in Philadelphia with hopes of undergoing separation surgery, but

the doctor refused, maintaining that the risks of the operation were too great. In the mid-1860s, the twins, now 54 and in dire financial straits, attempted to tour again, but the public’s fascination with them had dwindled. In a desperate attempt to revive interest, the aging twins began “exhibiting themselves with two of their sons,” and it is likely that this photograph was taken during that tour.

Although the inscription suggests that this “picture [was] taken by J.W. Hurn in Philadelphia, PA,” a carte-de-vistes photograph with the same image bears the backmark of W.L. Germon, a contemporary photographer of Hurn’s, working at the Temple of Art, 914 Arch St in Philadelphia in the 1860s-1870s.

John W. Hurn (d. 1887) and his son, John M. Hurn, worked nearby at No. 1319 Chestnut Street.

The twins lived to an unprecedented age and well into adulthood, but died a mere three hours apart on January 17, 1874. Their bodies were sent to Philadelphia, where an autopsy was performed by Drs. William Pancoast and Harrison Allen in the Mütter Museum of the College of Physicians. Their conjoined liver, as well as their death cast and chair, is currently on exhibition at the Mütter Museum. $2,000-3,000

261 145500/6 Rare large-format albumen print: The Carolina Twins, Millie and Christine McKoy (1851-1912) philadelphia, pa, 1860s-1870s, “presented by hon. john a. ackley 1920” Depicting the conjoined sisters in full-length, standing beside guitar and potted plant, mounted on board, with handwritten inscription to board’s verso.

Image size: 22 in. x 18 in. Overall: 24 in. x 20 in. provenance: Proceeds to benefit the Vineland Historical & Antiquarian Society, Vineland, New Jersey. note: Born as slaves in North Carolina, pygopagus twins Millie and Christine McKoy—according to The History of the Carolina Twins Told in ‘Their Own Peculiar Way’ by ‘One of Them’—were sold several times as infants before becoming “the property of Mr. James P. Smith, who gave for [them], two strange lumps of humanity, the sum of $6,000.”

They were subsequently exhibited throughout the South before being kidnapped, “dragged over the country for nearly two years” and then brought to Philadelphia to a museum on Chestnut St. near Sixth Street, and later to England.

The twins were eventually returned to Mr. Smith and his wife and taught to read, write, sing and dance in order “to contribute in no small degree to the amusement of those who called to see [them].” They earned their freedom at the close of the Civil War, and began performing in the United States and Europe.

There is evidence to suggest that the Carolina Twins were in Philadelphia in the 1860s and 1870s.

A playbill from around this time, advertises the twins as “The TwoHeaded Nightingale” and “The Eighth Wonder of the World” for their performances in Philadelphia

“at the Concert Hall above Twelfth Street.”

Furthermore, five Philadelphia doctors who examined the twins, wrote a letter, dated May 30th, 1866, testifying to their truly conjoined state. During a Philadelphia tour, purportedly with Chang and Eng Bunker, the twins were examined by Dr. William Pancoast of Jefferson Medical College, who took the only known partially clothed picture of the twins and published it alongside an article

in The Photographic Review of Medicine and Surgery in 1871. Given the above, it is conceivable that the present lot was taken at the same time as the preceding lot, though it, too, may have been taking by Germon rather than by Hurn, as inscribed.

The twins earned much acclaim and enjoyed great success as entertainers in their lifetime before dying of tuberculosis on October 8, 1912. $2,000-3,000

14 in. x 24 in. (sight) provenance: William W. Lukens, III, Philadelphis, Pennsylvania.

Mr. W.W. Lukens, Jr., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a member of the Philadelphia Skating Club and Humane Society. note: The original drawing for Queen’s chromolithograph printed by P.S. Duval & Co., “Souvenir of the coldest winter on record. Scene on the Delaware River at Philada. during the severe winter of 1856, From nature and on stone by J. Queen,” circa 1856.

According to typed correspondence from Mr. William V. Sipple and Son

in Milford, Delaware to the Philadelphia Skating Club and Humane Society, which accompanies lot and dates from September 1938, a printed version of this drawing was in the Skating Club’s collection. Founded in 1849, the Philadelphia Skating Club was the first skating club in North America, allowing its members to skate across frozen rivers and ponds around Philadelphia. On February 28, 1861 it became the the Philadelphia Skating Club and Humane Society.

A native Philadelphian, James Queen began his career as an artist and lithographer at the age of fourteen, serving as apprentice to George Lehman and P.S. Duval. He honed his skills as a draftsman and continued his professional relationship with Duval, who referred to him in a letter “as one of the best artists in the country.” This

genre scene, capturing the Delaware River in front of the old Navy Yard at Southwark during the coldest winter on record, shows the adeptness for composition and the keen attention to detail for which Queen was known. $8,000-12,000

383 148042/1 Important War of 1812 Presentation Sword awarded to Lieutenant John Tayloe IV by Virginia Legislature circa 1812 The eagle head pommel retaining original gilt sword knot above an ivory grip and a shell guard having seventeen stars enclosing an eagle and anchor, all typical of the Philadelphia style; the blade, elaborately etched on both sides and bearing inscription, “In Testimony of the intrepidity and valor of Midshipman John Tayloe of the United States Frigate Constitution in action and capture of the British Frigate Guerriere, 19 August 12”; the leather covered wood scabbard with cast gilt nautical and Classical mounts.

L: 36 in.

note: Born in Annapolis, Maryland, John Tayloe IV (1793-1824) enlisted in the Navy in 1809 as a Midshipman.

Serving as an officer aboard the USS Constitution and the USS Constellation in the War of 1812, Tayloe distinguished himself in battle, especially in the actions with the HMS Cyane, HMS Levant, and most notably, the HMS Guerriere.

The valiancy Tayloe showed in this significant and pivotal battle was recognized and suitably rewarded: according to “Some Notes Relative to Gifts to Distinguished Citizens, Principally Virginians, Authorized by the General Assembly, or Council of Virginia, 1780 to 1860,” William and Mary Quarterly, Second Series, Vol. 2, No. 2 (Apr. 1922), pg 97, on Jan 2, 1813, the Resolution of General Assembly proclaimed that “an appropriate sword” be presented to Midshipman John Tayloe “‘for his gallant conduct in the action between the United States frigate

Constitution and his Brittanic Majestie’s frigate Guerriere.’”

In a letter to Virginia Governor James Barbour, Tayloe wrote, “I only yesterday received your favor of the tenth instant via Boston enclosing the resolutions of both houses of the legislature and believe me, Sir, my heart dictates to me, as an American, the abundant gratitude that is due my country for her praise, but more particularly to my native state which has so generously proffered me so noble a testimony of her esteem... P.S. You will please forward the sword to the care of Colonel John Tayloe of Washington City.”

Shortly after receiving his sword, Tayloe was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant; however, injuries he sustained during the War of 1812 soon after necessitated his retirement from the Navy. He married Maria Forrest (1799-1869) on November 13, 1817 and with her had two children: John Tayloe V

(1818-1873) and George Plater Forest Tayloe, who died at a young age. Unfortunately, Tayloe never recovered from the aforementioned wounds, and consequently died in 1824.

A portrait of Lieutenant John Tayloe IV with his sword is currently in the Octagon House in Washington, DC—home of Tayloe’s father, Colonel John Tayloe III (1770-1828).

In 1814, subsequent to the British’s burning of the White House, Colonel Tayloe opened his home to President James Madison and his wife, Dolley, and it is there that Madison signed the Treaty of Ghent, thereby ending the War of 1812.

A nearly identical sword presented by the State of Virginia to Midshipman William Taylor, is illustrated and discussed in E. Andrew Mowbray, The American Eagle Pommel Sword-The Early Years 1793-1830 (1988), pp. 216 and 217. $15,000-25,000

12 1/4 in. x 18 in. (sight) provenance: Christie's New York, May 19, 2011, Lot 91. note: Though undated, this is the rare second printing, and first Philadelphia printing, of the Star Spangled Banner sheet music. It was likely issued within days of Thomas Carr's printing, sold at his Music Store in Baltimore, assumed to be the first 1814 sheet music printing of the Star Spangled Banner. The printing on offer predates the amended first edition published in Baltimore in late 1814 or early 1815.

Francis Scott Key (1779-1843), a Baltimore lawyer, famously wrote "The Star Spangled Banner," the night and early morning of September 13th-14th, 1814, watching the bombardment of Fort McHenry, from the deck of a British ship, having been detained while negotiating the release of a friend who had been taken prisoner. literature: James J.

Hayes (President, 1877-1881) Presidential Pattern oyster plates theodore russell davis (american, 18401894) for haviland & co., limoges, france, circa 1880 Each polychrome and gilt decorated, with five oyster-shaped recesses, marked to verso: “Fabriqué par Haviland & Co. d’après les dessins de Theo: R. Davis”; “H&Co./L”; and “Design patented August 10th 1880” with emblazoned eagle to underside of rim.

Diam: 8 5/8 in. note: An American artist known primarily for his Civil War drawings and illustrations published in Harper’s Weekly, Theodore R. Davis was commissioned by First Lady Lucy Webb Hayes to design a new dinner service for the White House that was inspired by American wildlife, flora and fauna. These “Turkey” oyster plates are dubbed as such because the wells and shells are uniquely positioned to form the outline of a turkey. Due to the popularity of the service and to its significant production cost, Davis patented his design in 1880 so that the plates might be mass produced to meet the public’s demand.

14 3/4 in. x 19 1/2 in. (sight) provenance: Descended in the family to the present owner.

Purchased Sotheby’s New York, circa 1996.

Retains label to verso from the Art Lending Service, Museum of Modern Art, New York, New York. note: Minnie Jones Evans’ artistic career began on Good Friday in 1935 as a consequence of divine intervention: she is reported to have said on the birth of her artistic career, “I had a dream, its voice spoke to me: ‘Why don’t you draw or die?.’” Although Evans didn’t start creating art until her forties, she had experienced the hallucinations and vivid dreams that served as her artistic inspiration since her childhood. Revered as a great African American

folk/outsider artist of the 20th century, Evans produced vibrantly colored works that were largely inspired by her heritage, her strong religious beliefs, and other cultures. Her work was widely exhibited and is currently in the collection of many museums, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian Institution, the American Folk Art Museum, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Evans was born in 1892 in Long Creek, North Carolina and later moved to Wilmington where, at the age of sixteen, she married Julius Caesar Evans and had three sons. She died on December 16, 1987, bequeathing more than 400 artworks to the St. Johns Museum of Art in Wilmington. For further biographical information on Minnie Evans and additional examples of her work, see Mary E. Lyons, Painting Dreams: Minnie Evans, Visionary Artist Houghton Mifflin, 1996, and the 1983 documentary, The Angel That Stands By Me: Minnie Evans’ Art. $10,000-15,000
