69 School of Matthew Harris Jouett (1788-1827) Portrait of Henry Clay (1777-1852), circa 1824 Oil on panel, with gallery label on verso: The Rosenbach Galleries, framed. The portrait is accompanied by photocopies of correspondence. 27 in. x 22 in. (sight) provenance

The Estate of Katharine May. The Rosenbach Company, Philadelphia, PA, 1940. note

Though this portrait has traditionally been attributed to Matthew Harris Jouett, an artist who painted a number of portraits of Henry Clay, current scholarships does not support the attribution. An undated letter from the Rosenbach Company states that “the portrait was painted from life by Jouett at Clay’s express wish, as Clay afterwards presented it to the great- grandfather of the gentleman from whom we purchased it.” The work closely resembles a Portrait of Henry Clay, attributed to John Neagle (1796-1865), in the collection of the Chicago Historical Society. Henry Clay was one of the nation’s most famous orators and most prominent politicians of his time. An attorney by profession, Clay was appointed as Secretary of State under John Quincy Adams, and later served Kentucky in the U.S. House of Representatives, and Senate. Known as the Great Compromiser, his Missouri Compromise of 1820 sought to resolve the slavery debate and hold off the secession of the Southern States. Clay ran unsuccessfully for President in 1824, 1832 and 1844. At his death, Abraham Lincoln delivered his eulogy on July 6, 1852, calling him “the Beau ideal of a statesman” and “such a man the times have demanded.” $30,000-50,000

The Clement Hungerford Pollen Collection Clement Hungerford Pollen (1869-1934) was born in London to an illustrious and art loving family that traced Samuel Pepys as a distant ancestor. His parents, John Hungerford Pollen (18201902)—a decorative artist, former Anglican priest, professor and curator—and his mother, Maria Margaret La Primaudaye Hungerford Pollen (1838-c. 1919)—a lace collector, author and historian—were friends with John Newman, William Morris and William Thackeray. His mother was famously sketched by Dante Gabriel Rosetti. When Clement was 6 his family moved to Newbuildings Place in Sussex—a 16th century estate owned by the poet, traveler and Arabian horse breeder, Wilfred Scawen Blunt (1840-1922). It is here that Pollen and his older brother Arthur, credited their transformation to lovers of horses and explorers of the outdoors. After secondary school, Pollen followed Arthur, to Wyoming, where he lived in a cabin and worked with cattle and horses. After an accident with a shotgun, he briefly worked as assistant secretary in the Bahamas to Governor Ambrose Shea. In 1897, once again following his brother Arthur who had illustrated and written the preface for H. Somers Somerset’s, The Land of

the Muskeag, 1895, Pollen traveled to North Western Canada. He settled in the Kootenay River area of British Columbia eventually owning an 814-acre property called Skookumchuck Ranch, as well as a home in Cranbrook, British Columbia. The area was inhabited by the Ktunaxa Nation. Pollen greatly admired the Native peoples and developed close relationships with them. In the early 1900s, Pollen became involved in the design, construction and management of the Kootenay Central branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway. He served as Lieutenant Colonel, 1st Battalion Kootenay Regiment, and as a Major in the 54th Battalion, Cranbrook, BC during WWI. Pollen returned to England with his wife and children and died in Surrey. Clement documented his years in Wyoming and British Columbia with photographs, written memoirs and by collecting Native North American made objects and fossils. His extensive correspondence includes letters from family friend Neville Chamberlain and Theodore Roosevelt. The collection is a rare historic record of a specific North American time and place: of Western Plains life, exploration, the life and arts of Native peoples, and the transformation of the West.




155 The Clement Hungerford Pollen Collection Wyoming and Western Canada, late 19th century to mid 20th century The collection includes the following Native American clothing and accessory items: a Blackfoot beaded hide War Shirt, circa 1900; two pairs of Blackfoot beaded hide leggings, circa 1900; a fine Cree loom woven quill-worked hide gun case, circa 1890; an Ojibwe beaded hide guncase, circa 1900; a Plains beaded hide pipebag, circa 1900; a Blackfoot beaded hide and wool fabric toy baby carrier, circa 1900; A Cree or Ojibway beaded hide pouch, circa 1890; Blackfoot beaded hide mocassins, circa 1900; Blackfoot beaded hide arm bands, circa 1900; Blackfoot beaded hide woman’s belt, circa 1900; Plains beaded hide jacket, leather chaps and beaded suede gauntlets, circa 1890; a painted bow with arrows. Also included is a box of arrow heads. Natural history items include a chest fitted with drawers of small fossils. Numerous photographs are included in the collection.

Carey. This album also contains images of Bermuda in 1890. Other albums of albumen and silver prints contain images of British Columbia, some with panoramic landscapes, logging, hunting, surveying, early railroad construction, mining towns, river boats, early homesteads and town views, campsites and log cabin interiors, public events, Native North Americans and Pollen and his children.

Also included in the collection are many silverprint portraits of Clement Hungerford Pollen. Also included is a surveying tool of Pollen’s: “D.W. Brunton’s Patent Sept. 18 1884, Wm Ainsworth Maker Denver, Colo.” pocket transit, a journal kept by Pollen and two field notebooks with hand-drawn maps, supply lists, calculations, surveying notes on the construction of the Kootenay Central Railroad, and a scrapbook of news clippings on Pollen’s purchase of land for the railway. An assortment of printed maps of area of Western Canada is offered with group. A box with news clippings, business and personal correspondence and copies of official documents concerning the Kootenay Central Railroad and Pacific Canadian Railroad Company, a letter copy book from 1902, and family letters from 1900-1924 also accompany collection. Pollen’s sketchbook with watercolors, typed manuscript copies of “The Kootenay Indian,” an album of notes and humorous sketches sent to Pollen in 1880, and a scrapbook of society news from England and British Columbia, a number written by Pollen, are included. A selection of Pollen-owned books and pamphlets concerning the archeology and geography of British Columbia, railroad passes, are included. Of special note is an autographed letter from Theodore Roosevelt of May 20, 1915 answering Major C. Hungerford Pollen’s, 54th Bat. Cranbrook, B.C. request for advice on raising a regiment. Roosevelt recommends “a little volume about my Rough Riders. in Cuba,“ and laments that “it is sad to think that the old time Rocky Mountain man has vanished.” Sizes vary

Approximately 170 silver prints, not in albums, accompany the collection. These depict Pollen at various pursuits, panoramic landscapes, Native North Americans, railroad building, rustic campsites in summer and winter, and images intended to illustrate Pollen’s manuscript, “The Kootenay Indian.” Four small albums of silverprints contain images of the Pollen Family at home at Cranbrook, British Columbia and in England.

Any exceptions must be made upon Freeman’s written approval of credit prior to sale. In addition, a defaulting buyer will be deemed to have granted and assigned to Freeman’s, a continuing security interest of first priority in any property or money of, or owing to such buyer in Freeman’s possession, and Freeman’s may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to Freeman’s. Freeman’s shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code. 10. Unless the sale is advertised and announced as “without reserve”, each lot is offered subject to a reserve and Freeman’s may implement such reserves by bidding through its representatives on behalf of the Consignors. In certain instances, the Consignor may pay less than the standard commission rate where Freeman’s or its representative is a successful bidder on behalf of the Consignor. Where the Consignor is indebted to Freeman’s, Freeman’s may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds therefrom, other than the broker’s Commissions, and all sales are subject to any such interest. 11. No “buy” bids shall be accepted at any time for any purpose. 12. Any pre-sale bids must be submitted in writing to Freeman’s prior to commencement of the offer of the first lot of any sale. Freeman’s copy of any such bid shall conclusively be deemed to be the sole evidence of same, and while Freeman’s accepts these bids for the convenience of bidders not present at the auction, Freeman’s shall not be responsible for the failure to execute, or, to execute properly, any pre-sale bid. 13. A Buyer’s Premium will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price. The Buyer’s Premium shall be: 25% on the first $300,000 of the hammer price of each lot, 20% on the portion from $300,001 through $3,000,000, and 12% thereafter. 14. Unless exempted by law from the payment thereof, the buyer will be required to pay any and all federal excise tax and any state and/or local sales taxes, including where deliveries are to be made outside the state where a sale is conducted, which may be subject to a corresponding or compensating tax in another state. 15. Freeman’s may, as a service to buyer, arrange to have purchased property posted and shipped at the buyer’s expense. Freeman’s is not responsible for any acts or omissions in packing or shipping of purchased lots whether or not such carrier is recommended by Freeman’s. Packing and handling of purchased lots is at the responsibility of the buyer and is at the entire risk of the buyer. 16. In no event shall any liability of Freeman’s to the buyer exceed the purchase price actually paid. 17. No claimed modification or amendment of this Agreement on the part of any party shall be deemed extant, enforceable or provable unless it is in writing that has been signed by the parties to this Agreement. No course of dealing and no delay or omission on the part of Freeman’s in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right and waiver on any one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy of Freeman’s on any future occasion. 18. These Conditions of Sale and the buyer’s, the Consignor’s and Freeman’s rights under these Conditions of Sale shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Consignor and Buyer agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

Payment Payment is due within ten (10) working days of the sale. Lots purchased will not be released until we have received full payment. Payment may be made in cash, by check, money order, or debit card. Payments by check must clear the bank before goods will be released. Removal of Purchases Deliveries will not be made during the time of the sale unless otherwise indicated by the auctioneer. All items must be paid for and removed within ten (10) working days of the sale. Purchases not so removed may be turned over to a licensed warehouse at the expense and risk of the purchaser. Shipping and Packing Responsibility for packing, shipping and insurance shall be exclusively that of the purchaser. Upon request, Freeman’s will provide the purchaser with names of professional packers and shippers known to us. Endangered Species Lots marked * are manufactured in whole or in part of restricted materials that may include tortoiseshell, ivory, mother-of-pearl, coral, rhinoceros horn, whalebone or marine ivory. Such materials may require specific licenses, certificates, or CITES documentation for import, export, moving between states in the U.S., or resale. Obtaining these documents may require scientific, laboratory or other expert analysis, in order to establish which species or genus the material came from. Freeman’s is unable to provide this information, and the obligation is on the purchaser of a lot containing any of these materials to ensure that they are able to obtain all the necessary or required documents should they need to, prior to bidding on the lot. If proper documentation or licenses etc. cannot be obtained for a purchased lot, the purchaser will still be required to make an on time payment for the lot as per our standard terms and conditions. Freeman’s cataloguing of the lots marked with this symbol * represents the best of our opinion, and the absence of this symbol from any lot description does not form a warranty that the lot will be free from any licensing or certification restrictions.
