1 American School, 19th Century The Battle of Bunker Hill Unsigned. Watercolor and gouache on paper, 15 x 19 1/2 in., in a later molded wood frame. Condition: Minor toning. Note: This painting is a fanciful interpretation of the Battle of Bunker Hill as seen from Boston across the Charles River at Hudson Point. Charlestown’s fortifications are clearly marked with red and blue banners on Bunker Hill, Breed’s Hill, and Fort Castle William. The position of these hills was critical to a military occupation of Boston as they would provide the controlling army with a view of Boston and its harbor. On June 17, 1775, under heavy bombardment by the British, Charlestown caught fire and is represented here engulfed in clouds of gray smoke. The white rail fences which enclose the town, and which are so prominently depicted, were decisive in the Patriots’ victory. The Colonial militia erected this series of fences to thwart the advance of the British troops. To negotiate the fences, the Redcoats were forced to break their ordered march, causing them to lose their discipline and momentum, and ultimately the battle.

The painting was probably done by an academy student in the early 19th century. The form of the flags shown is anachronistic. During this period, the Revolutionary army flew the Grand Union Flag. It was not until June 14, 1777, that the Continental Congress adopted the flag of stars and stripes which is seen flying from the ships in the harbor foreground. The arrangement of these ships was probably derived from a contemporary print, possibly the early views of Boston published by Carrington Bowles. Stylistically, the painting relates to an oil painting titled Attack on Bunker’s Hill with the Burning of the Burning of Charlestown June 17, 1775, at the National Gallery of Art. $25,000-35,000

2 George Heriot (Quebec/England, 17591839) Panoramic View of Boston Harbor and Part of Charlestown with Bunker Hill, June 15, 1815 Unsigned, dated “15 June 1815” on the back of the second sheet.

Note: According to genealogical research done by the consignor, Samuel Claghorn was born in Tisbury, Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. His great-grandfather was Thomas Claghorn, who ran Claghorn Tavern on the island. His father was Joseph Claghorn, who served in the Revolutionary War as a seaman and sailmaker’s mate. Samuel, for his part, refused his inheritance to the Barony of Claghorn in Scotland (which would have forced him to relinquish his American citizenship), preferring to make his way in the United States instead. He moved to Norwich, Connecticut, with his wife Philura Paine Spaulding (1798-1886) in 1812, where his children were born, and where Belknap was likely commissioned for this portrait. There they stayed until 1829, when the family again moved, this time to Savannah, Georgia, where Samuel founded a ship’s chandlery. He died in Savannah in 1840. $3,000-5,000

Condition: Inpainting in two vertical lines, scattered spots, and several small areas. Literature: John Wilmerding, Robert Salmon, Painter of Ship & Shore (1971), pp. 26, 33-34, 90, illus. p. 26.

Note: This painting, reportedly the only known portrait by Robert Salmon, is recorded as a portrait of “Paull Gomes” (reportedly a mis-transcription) in Salmon’s Catalogue of Paintings. Salmon would have been educated on the British view of Jones: one of traitorous villainy, a view which persisted for decades after Jones’s attack on Whitehaven in 1778. As Salmon emigrated to the United States in 1828, he woud have painted this engraving-ready portrait “on spec,” thinking it might appeal to (and form a bond with) his new American audience. It seems that he overestimated the market for works depicting Jones, who, though still very well-known in England, was long-forgotten in America. Information provided by the consignor (which is the source of much of the above) is available for review. $1,500-2,500
