Sawyier was born in Ohio but moved to the Bluegrass State as a child. He studied portraiture at the Cincinnati Art Academy, and went on to New York to study at the Art Student’s League under William Merritt Chase. He also studied with painter Frank Duveneck in Covington, Kentucky and abroad, before returning to Frankfort, Kentucky. There he painted landscapes and portraits. From 1908 to 1913 he lived on a houseboat, moving up and down the Kentucky River and painting landscapes. In 1913, he made the decision to leave Kentucky and moved to Brooklyn; in 1915, he moved to the Catskill Mountains, although he continued to paint Kentucky scenes from photographs and send them back home. He died in New York of a heart attack at age 52. (source: Askart: The Artists’ Bluebook). Provenance – Lexington, Kentucky area collection.

Baker, 1848; executed in silk needlework on linen, with floral vine border and stitched garden at lower edge; features three rows of upper case letters, one row of lower case letters and one row of numerals, plus seven geometric dividing bands, all sewn in eyelet, cross stitch and four-sided stitch.

Note: This sampler has been documented for the Tennessee Sampler Survey. The survey’s genealogical research found Isabella (Belle) McNutt Baker was born Oct. 30, 1836 in Knoxville, TN. Her parents were Caleb Hodnett Baker, Sr. and his second wife, Mary Lawson White. Through her mother, Isabella was the great-granddaughter of Gen. James White, the founder of Knoxville.

Stephenson, a druggist, in 1856 and gave birth to four children. She died in 1913 and is buried in the Old Gray Cemetery in Knoxville.

Biography: German-born Ferdinand Pettrich trained in the studio of his father in Dresden, before traveling to Rome to study under the famous Danish sculptor Thorwaldsen. He came to America, where he spent considerable time in Washington D.C. from 1835-1843 seeking commissions for his work. Many of his subjects were American politicians of the day. Pettrich resided in Georgetown with his wife and three children and rented a studio in an abandoned church. In an 1838 letter of a patron of Pettrich, the sculptor appealed for help because of the illness of one of his children. The patron stated Pettrich had requested Henry Clay sit for a bust and Clay had responded with a favorable reply (p. 398 Ferdinand Pettrich in America by R. L. Stehle). Some of Pettrich’s notable sculpture commissions included “Washington Resigning His Commission” and “Dying Tecumseh”. He also executed busts of Martin Van Buren and Andrew Jackson. In May of 1842, two assassins entered Pettrich’s studio and stabbed him twice. Shortly thereafter, Pettrich and his family moved to Brazil and he became the court sculptor for Emperor Dom Pedro II, carving monumental sculptures of the monarch and his cabinet officials before returning to Europe.

580 | Rutherford B. Hayes Official White House China Pla | A White House Haviland Limoges porcelain fish plate from the Rutherford B. Hayes service, designed by artist Theodore R. Davis, depicting two lobsters, signed lower right D on front. The back contains the full artist signature with TD cypher, presidential eagle, and Haviland Limoges mark. (Mark illustrated in the book Official White House China, 1789-the Present by Margaret Brown Klapthor, p. 107), 8 3/8" diameter. Provenance: the estate of Anne Sexton Shockley of Nashville, by descent from her great-grandfather John Houston of Nashville, a former employee and personal friend of David Haviland. Houston moved to Nashville in the mid-19th century and partnered with A.H. Hicks in his porcelain importing business located at 46 Public Square. Note: The Hayes Service is considered one of the most important, imaginative, and extravagant porcelain services ever produced. Negotiations a the new state dinner service for the White House began in 1879, as it was customary to order new porcelain when a new president took office. Haviland was awarded the contract over Minton and Wedgwood. During a chance meeting with Mrs. Hayes in the White House conservatory, Theodore R. Davis, an artist for Harper's Weekly, suggested the service be designed with exclusively American flora and fauna, with each piece having a different decoration. Mrs. Hayes liked the idea so much that she asked that Davis assume direction of the designs. From his drawings, etchings were produced for transfer of the outlines to many new dish shapes; basic coloring was applied by chromolithographic and decalcomania processes and then shaded by decorators. It debuted to mixed reviews from art and design critics, but the service was wildly popular with the public. As a result, some of the Hayes designs and forms were patented and reproduced for public sale as well, but on these the pennant mark dated 1879, unique to the White House service, was replaced by a blue 1880 patent mark. (Source: whitehousehistory.org, Official White House China 1789-the Present by Margaret Brown Klapthor). Klapthor quotes Davis that many pieces admired by Hayes' successor, President Chester Arthur, were removed from the White House during the summer months and taken to decorate the dining room of his vacation home. She also notes that "it is possible that the sample china which came into this country to the stores in Washington, New York and Boston during the summer of 1880 had the same mark as the set delivered to the White House, for the patent onthe designs was not secured until August." See two related plates in this auction from the same estate. Condition: Two 1/4" shallow flakes to decorated portion of rim and a 1/4" chip to lower white rim, some scattered minute flakes/enamel loss to painted image.

654 | Kentucky, Robert Burns Wilson Watercolor | Robert Burns Wilson (American, primarily Kentucky, 1851 – 1916) landscape watercolor depicting a springtime meadow with stream foreground and rolling hills in the background, signed lower right: Robert Burns Wilson. Housed in a period original gilt and painted wooden print. Sight – 10 5/8" h x 21" W. Framed – 14 1/2" H x 25" W. Artist biography (courtesy Williams American Art Galleries): Robert Burns Wilson may be best known for his patriotic poem, Remember The Maine, which became the battle song for the United States during the Spanish American War. But he was primarily a painter. Wilson was born around 1851 in Parker, Pennsylvania. Orphaned at a young age, he spent his childhood in Virginia and West Virginia. In 1869, he left home with the desire to be an artist. He spent about a year traveling with a circus before settling briefly in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to study art. For a short time, he maintained a studio with John White Alexander, a prominent American artist known for his work in the Art Nouveau style.

565 | East TN Police Tintype and Cabinet Cards | Group of 2 large cabinet card photos and 1 tintype image relating to Bristol, Tennessee police officer Charles Porch (served late 19th/early 20th century). One cabinet card depicts Porch seated with a male friend (printed at Loargille, Johnson City, TN) and the other depicts Porch in his police uniform playfully raising a billy club at a friend, who is pointing a gun at Porch (printed at Vance's Art Gallery, Bristol, TN). The tintype depicts Officer Porch posing with a fellow officer, both in their uniforms. Cabinet cards measure 7 1/2" H x 5" W. The tintype measures 3 1/4" H x 2" W. History (courtesy of the Bristol Historical Association): Officer Porch witnessed the earliest recorded murder of a Bristol, Tennessee police officer in February 1903. The incident is all the more significant since it was perpetrated by a Bristol, Virginia police officer, Grat Walk. The incident as cited by the Bristol Historical Association and Frank Bickley, a Bristol Courier reporter, unfolded in the following manner – at 11:30 p.m., February 7, 1903, Walk crossed from the Virginia side of State Street and stood at the corner of Fourth Street. He yelled to Childress, who was standing in front of Knott's Bakery, talking to Charles Porch, a fellow Tennessee officer. As Officer Childress walked to the corner, Officer Walk continued to quarrel him. Walk then drew his pistol and fired two shots, both shots piercing Childress's body through his overcoat. As Childress fell, Walk fled across the street. Childress was carried into the Bob Clay Barber Shop, where he died almost instantly. Walk was in hiding for a week, then gave himself up to authorities. Grat Walk later managed to escape from jail after he was allowed to leave his cell "get a breath of fresh air". He remained at large for 7 years until he was recognized in Idaho by an officer in Alene, Idaho. Walk was eventually returned to TN to face trial. During the trial, Officer Charles Porch testified against Grat Walk's plea of self defense and stated Childress never pulled his gun on Walk. The trial concluded with Walk being found guilty of 2nd degree murder and sentenced to 20 years. Condition: Some toning and spotting to cabinet cards. Tintype unframed but retains the original sleeve. CONDITION: Some toning and spotting to cabinet cards. Tintype unframed but retains the original sleeve. [See more photos →] |
