Jim Murphy (1941-2012) Jim spent more than three decades researching Ohio pottery, often publishing his findings in short but highly important articles in various publications, including the Journal of the American Art Pottery Association, as well as several self-published pamphlets (some of which, along with his notes were posthumously published by his friends Jeff carskadden and richard gartley as James L. Murphy's Checklist of 19th-Century Bluebird Potters and Potteries in Muskingum County, Ohio). his devotion to collecting was just as passionate, and Jim amassed an encyclopedic collection of Ohio pottery. garth's has been honored to have offered small selections of Jim's collection over the past couple of years, but this offering represents the final installment, and it includes some rare and important examples of Ohio pottery.

Strader (1818-1881) was born in new Jersey and moved to Lebanon, Ohio, as a child. in 1835, he was in cincinnati working in the steamboat industry as a clerk and engineer, and later as a ticket agent for the Little Miami railroad. he served one term as a Democrat in the house of representatives from 1869-1871, after which he moved to Ashtabula.

Ball (1825-1904) was born in Virginia and learned the daguerrean trade from another African-American in Boston, John Bailey. he moved to cincinnati in 1845 and found little success, so he traveled for a couple of years before returning to the Queen city in 1847, now partnering with his brother, thomas. Ball had a successful career in cincinnati until the 1870s when he moved throughout the South and west, finally relocating to hawaii in 1902, just two years before he died.

Based on the age of Strader’s children, these portraits were likely taken about 1855, a time when African-American artist robert S. Duncanson was working in Ball’s studio, retouching and coloring photographs. $2,000-$4,000

Lawrence Lewis (1767-1839) was the son of george washington’s sister, Betty. he served during the whiskey rebellion, and in 1797, came to Mount Vernon as the former president’s personal secretary. in February of 1799, Lewis married nelly custis, the granddaughter of Martha washington, whom the washingtons informally adopted after the death of Martha’s son (and nelly’s father) John Parke custis.

440

As a wedding gift, washington gave the couple 2000 acres adjacent to Mount Vernon. there they built their home, called woodlawn, which was completed in 1805.

Although the silhouettes are on different paper (Lawrence is on laid paper and nelly is on wove), the ink inscriptions are by the same hand. Lawrence is dated 1805, presumably corresponding to the completion of woodlawn, while nelly is inscribed “Your Mother.” $1,500-$2,500

watson (1819-1885) was born in Yorkshire and emigrated to canada with his family in 1830. he came to the uS in the early 1840s, settling in rockford, illinois, and set up a law practice that was short-lived, as he removed to washington, Dc in 1845 to focus on patent law. it was in washington that he worked in the same office building as edwin M. Stanton, and the two became acquainted. Shortly after Fort Sumter, Stanton appointed his friend to be his assistant. watson served in that position until the end of the war, often serving as Acting Secretary when Stanton was away from washington. this archive includes numerous notes from watson in harpers Ferry to Stanton, written on American telegraph company stationery during the spring of 1862.

Additionally, the archive includes additional civil war-era correspondence between watson and Stanton and other military and political figures, as well as the 1867 appointment, signed by Stanton, charging watson to “arrange and prepare for publication, the official documents relating to the rebellion” (this project would, of course, lead to the publication of The Official Records of the War of the Rebellion in seventy volumes between 1881 and 1901 Following the civil war, watson entered the iron and coal mining industry, as well as the railroad industry, and he later served as president of the erie railway. the archives contain scattered correspondence and documents related to these activities. this is a broad and deep archive covering a range of important historical subjects and includes correspondence from some of the most prominent men in late 19th-century America. $1,000-$2,000

LOts 517 - 533 elmer ellsworth (1837-1861) was an ambitious young man whose rise to prominence was cut short on May 24, 1861 when he became the first union soldier killed in the civil war. he grew up in illinois and studied law in chicago where he also mustered the cadet Attachment to the 60th illinois Militia. A Springfield attorney named Abraham Lincoln hired young ellsworth as a clerk in 1860, and ellsworth followed Lincoln to washington in 1861. Shortly thereafter, he moved to new York and raised the 11th new York Volunteers, modeling their training, and their uniforms, on the Algerian and French troops fighting in north Africa, called the zouaves. having recruited firemen for his unit, ellsworth nicknamed them the Fire zouaves.

On May 24, 1861, ellsworth and his Fire zouaves began their occupation of Alexandria, Virginia. there they encountered a large confederate flag hanging over the Marshall house inn. in ellsworth’s determined attempt to take down the flag, he was gunned down by innkeeper James Jackson, who was promptly killed by zouave corporal James Brownell. ellsworth immediately became a martyr for the union cause, inspiring songs and poetry, and a nation of patriotic souvenir-collectors began seeking out photographs and autographs of the fallen soldier.
