Oil on canvas still life painting of a basket of strawberries in grass, unsigned, attributed to George Dury (Germany/Tennessee, 1817-1894). Molded giltwood frame. Sight: 20" H x 16" W. Framed: 28-3/8" H x 24-3/8" W. Dury studied art at the Academie der Bildende Kiensti in Munich under Peter Von Cornelius, Heinrich Hesse, and Clemens Zimmerman, and as a young man won acclaim for his small cabinet portraits. Among his subjects were Prince Adalbert of Bavaria and Queen Theresa of Greece. He immigrated to the U.S. in 1849, settling first in the Cumberland mountains of East Tennessee, but found little market for his artwork there. By 1857, established a studio on Union Street in Nashville and made a name for himself painting the prominent citizens of Middle Tennessee. His business survived the Civil War – during and after which he received commissions to paint General George Thomas, Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson – and he went on to produce portraits from his studio at 42-44 Union Street until a stroke in 1888. While portraits were his bread and butter, his Northern European art training suggests Dury would have been capable of creating other types of art, and he is known to have painted at least one landscape. However, he rarely signed his work. Provenance: originally owned by Dr. John Berrien Lindsley (who owned a store in the same building as Dury's studio) and descended to Margaret Lindsley Warden, who said this painting was by Dury when she sold it to Professor John Kiser in 1976.

Land grant to Jacob B. Biffle, "late private in Captain Cooper's Company of Tennessee Cavalry Volunteers", 160 acres in "the district of land subject to sale at Green Bay, Wisconsin", with President Zachary Taylor signature (likely secretarial signed) and date of 12 May,1849. In this document, William Atwater is named as Biffle's assignee for the land. Biffle, a 21 year old Mexican War veteran at the time this land was granted to him, appears to have given it up to stay in his native Tennessee, where he went on to farm, raise a family and eventually fight for the Confederacy. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Biffle organized a company which became part of the 2nd Tennessee Cavalry Battalion. He was later colonel of the 9th Tennessee Cavalry Regiment and part of Nathan Bedford Forrest's brigade, and saw action at the Battles of Chickamauga, Gainesville, Thompson Station, and Brentwood. Biffle's men became notorious for their actions in Middle Tennessee in 1864 just prior to John B. Hood's invasion, including disrupting railroads and telegraph lines, confiscating supplies and harrassing Unionists. He survived the war but his actions during it made him unwelcome in his native Wayne County. He and his family moved to Texas, where he died in 1876. Partly printed on vellum, 9-3/4" x 15-1/2". Condition: Creases and toning, some fading to second Taylor signature and wear at lower right corner over the printed word preceding "Sec'y", some holes at creases at lower left. [See more photos →]
