Provenance: Family descent. The back of the portrait is inscribed "Henrietta Tower Page to Charlie Tower" (also named Charlemagne), and then descended in the family o the consignor. Henrietta was the sister of Charlemagne Tower I. Note: The subject of the portrait was thought by the family to be New York State legislator Reuben Tower, b. February 15, 1787 in Rutland, Massachusetts. He would have been approximately 39 years old at the time the portrait was painted. It may otherwise be a portrait of Reuben's son Charlemagne Tower I, b. April 18, 1809, who would have been 17 or 18 years of age in 1826. Charlemagne was an assistant teacher at Utica Academy, in New York in 1826, and then went on to Harvard, graduating in 1830. He was a lawyer and businessman active in acquiring land in the Schuylkill Valley in Pennsylvania, and served as an officer for coal and railroad companies. During the Civil War he organized and led a company of Union soldiers from Pottsville, Pennsylvania where he was commissioned as a Captain. After the war, with the sell-off of lands by the Northern Pacific Railroad, he acquired large tracts in the upper Midwest and Northwest and developed the famous iron ore Soudan Mine in northern Minnesota.

The refined design for this table, unusual for an American maker of this period, can be traced to the English arbiter of taste, Ackerman's Repository for the Arts, (July 1, 1827) vol. 10, pl 5.

Condition B+: repaired tears and creases in margins and image; vertical and horizontal folds.
The "Levant Fair," with its recognize symbol of the flying camel, was an international exhibition of local industries that was first held in 1928. The goal of the fair was to create "economic and trade ties between countries all over the world and in particular between them, the Middle East and Palestine" (https://www.graduate.technion.ac.il/Theses/Abstracts.asp?Id=12921). In 1934, "820 international companies were represented and 600,000 people from around the world came to see the public exhibitions. At the time, Tel Aviv was only populated by about 35,000 people" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Ezer).

Lunel studied painting under Jean-Léon Gérôme, then went on to a career dominated by his illustrations for Parisian magazines, with work in Chat Noir, Le Figaro and Le Rire and Le Courrier Français to his credit. The few posters he designed seem very much inspired by the works of Jules Chéret. This poster of a woman up a ladder attempting to light a streetlight is a charming and classic turn-of-the-century image.

L4 1/4'' and 5 1/4'' and 0.7 Troy oz (2pcs) Provenance: Private collection Mount Pleasant South Carolina Literature: Ensko Stephen G. C. AMERICAN SILVERSMITHS AND THEIR MARKS. Boston: Godine 1989 p235. Other Notes: CRUICKSHANK ROBERT silversmith merchant office holder and militia officer; b. c. 1748 probably in Aberdeen Scotland; d. at sea 16 April 1809. The paucity of sources has led to various hypotheses about Robert Cruickshank's origins; according to the most plausible one he was born in Aberdeen where the family name was common. Cruickshank appears to have learned the silversmith's craft in the British Isles. He may have visited the United States: an Alexander Crouckeshanks who came from London opened a silversmith's shop in Boston in 1768; it is conceivable that he was one of Robert's relatives and that Robert worked with him. Whatever the case by 1773 Cruickshank was settled in Montreal. A year later he signed a petition to the king asking for the restoration of habeas corpus and trial by jury in civil suits which had been abolished that year by the Quebec Act. By 1782 Cruickshank was solidly established in business. He owned a house on Rue Notre-Dame next to the former prison; his resources and the volume of his affairs made it possible to undertake building and renovation on a large scale. To his property he added a shop measuring 23 feet by 12 with an impressive 'forge chimney.' Thus just as Ignace-François Delezenne* had done in 1758 and Pierre Huguet dit Latour would do in 1803 Cruickshank progressed from a craftsman's shop in his own house to an enterprise requiring premises separate from his private residence in which to install a workshop and store. These three were the only silversmiths in the late 18th and early 19th centuries to make the transition. The change was not wholly fortuitous: they were forced into it by the phenomenal volume of orders for trade silver. In moving from the status of craftsman to that of bourgeois they had to provide a workshop and suitable tools for their numerous apprentices and journeymen. Their large clientele also had to have access to adequate premises – hence the store. Judging by his partnerships with other craftsmen and the number of apprentices he took on Cruickshank led a busy professional life. A soup-tureen in the museum of the church of Notre-Dame in Montreal which bears the marks of Cruickshank and Jacques Varin* dit La Pistole suggests that the two silversmiths collaborated. In 1777–78 Cruickshank seems to have had Michael Arnoldi as an apprentice; they later became partners. The firm of Cruickshank and Arnoldi which may have used the mark CA was not finally dissolved until 1789. In 1790–91 Cruickshank was in contact with the silversmith Jean-Henry Lerche whose mark JHL imitated the style of writing in the mark RC. Cruickshank seems to have gone into partnership with Peter Arnoldi around 1793–94 for a tea service in the Henry Birks Collection bears their respective marks. Cruickshank was also connected with clockmakers jewellers and engravers: his 'good old friend' John Lumsden until 1802; Charles Irish who had been hired in London in 1803 for a three-year period; and perhaps Charles Arnoldi Michael's brother who is believed to have replaced Irish. In addition to silverware therefore his store carried clocks jewellery trinkets and hardware and certainly included many objects imported from England. Cruickshank took on the following apprentice silversmiths in turn: Michel Roy in 1791 for six years Frédéric Delisle in 1795 for seven years René Blache in 1796 for four years Peter Bohle son of the silversmith Charles-David Bohle in 1800 for seven years and Narcisse Auclair in 1805 for seven years. (Auclair's apprenticeship papers were transferred to Nathan Starns his brother-in-law and guardian on 16 Oct. 1807.) Cruickshank belonged to the Montreal group of silversmiths. There was a clear division between this group and the one in Quebec: the former were businessmen the latter primarily craftsmen. The marks of François Ranvoyzé Laurent Amiot* and François Sasseville* belonged to craftsmen who did their own work; Cruickshank's and Huguet's can be called studio marks because an associate journeyman or apprentice may have made the piece. With the Quebec silversmiths it is possible to follow the logical evolution of the craftsman's style but study of the Montreal group becomes very complicated since ten pieces of work bearing the same mark may have been executed by as many different silversmiths. Furthermore Cruickshank seems to have put his mark on imported objects. Nevertheless his work which is characterized by refinement shows greater homogeneity than does Huguet's. That was an inevitable consequence of their respective training: Cruickshank was a professional silversmith but Huguet was a wig maker who became a silversmith overnight around 1780. In addition to conducting his trade Cruickshank served as a banker issuing promissory notes and lending money at interest. He proved a skilful well-organized meticulous administrator. Towards the end of his career he was moreover active mainly as a merchant. His full professional life was matched by an intense social one that gave him a place among the important people of Montreal. He made a contribution to the paving of the Place du Marché in 1785–86 and to the Agriculture Society in 1791. He held the office of justice of the peace (1795–1809) and served in the militia first as a lieutenant (1788–97) and then as a captain (1800–9) in the town's 1st Militia Battalion. As a magistrate he signed a petition to Sir Robert Shore Milnes* for the reconstruction of the Montreal prison burned in 1803. His name also appears on the list of founders of Christ Church in 1805 [see Jehosaphat Mountain]. Although less is known of his private life he associated with the English-speaking élite particularly James McGill Edward William and Jonathan Abraham Gray Joseph Frobisher and Stephen Sewell*. In August 1789 Cruickshank married Ann Kay a widow with eight children; she died the following year. His only daughter Elizabeth married the merchant Arthur Webster in 1803 at which date the couple were both of age. Webster quickly won his father-in-law's confidence. Just before leaving for Great Britain in October 1807 Cruickshank left him full power of attorney to run all his business affairs 'wherever they are in Upper or Lower Canada or the United States of America.' The exact reasons for his trip are not known but both business matters and his private life were probably involved. No doubt Cruickshank had to import many articles from London suppliers. During his return voyage in 1809 he died on board the Eweretta. All of Cruickshank's estate must have gone automatically to his daughter and son-in-law; thus there was no inventory after his death which would have been of considerable value. It may be hazarded however that he owned a very large business comparable to Huguet's. In addition there were certainly numerous properties including a piece of land bought after the Château de Vaudreuil burned in 1803. But his departure in October 1807 had already marked the end of the career of one of Lower Canada's most important silversmiths who had initiated a profound change in both the product and its marketing. He had introduced a new treatment and a new aesthetics that met with great success and enabled his production to compete with contemporary English and American work. With him the silversmith's craft in the colony had moved away from French influence into the British tradition. written by Robert Derome

Bio from 1st Dibs: This set is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. It speaks to the horrors of slavery and the joys of freedom. it was created during the civil rights movement and while his personal history was of the horrors of World War II, I believe this might also reference the African American experience. Alfred Van Loen was a prolific artist whose career spanned a half century. He was born in 1924 in Oberhausen-Osterfeld, Germany and sent to Holland to be educated. He graduated from the Royal Academy of Amsterdam. He immigrated to the United States following World War II and taught art at Vassar, Hunter College and Columbia University. He taught at C.W. Post for over 20 years. His work is characterized by a spiritual connection to nature. Van Loen's reputation is built on his works as a direct carver a sculptor who carves into stone or marble without preliminary blueprints, models or drawings. Van Loen is a man in love with the materials. He is an artist who is part scientist, part architect, part explorer and part inventor. Van Loen further isolated himself from the cultural capital and "the sickness of the art world in New York City." Since then, Van Loen has become a bigger star in a smaller galaxy, with a devoted following of patrons and students. Whether casting medals, drawing in unbroken lines (similar to those of Pablo Picasso and Alexander Calder), painting in watercolors or carving stones and wood, Van Loen is the quintessential craftsman. The real Van Loen is in all of his work. He finds endless lines of continuity and form in the trees and birds and plants that surround him. His two lives. One begins in Germany, where he was born in 1924. The other picks up in 1947 when he arrived in New York. At age six, he says, his wealthy, Jewish parents Karl and Hedwig Lowenthal, owners of a sporting good store sent him to school at a Dominican cloister in Venlo, Holland. In 1938, forced to flee Nazi persecution in Germany, the family moved to Amsterdam, where Alfred joined them. A small carved crucifix which he produced caught the eye of a sponsor who enrolled him in the Royal Academy of Art in Amsterdam in 1941. Surrounded by the cruelty and destruction of war, the young artist became involved in the underground, spying and distributing anti-Nazi pamphlets. Betrayed by his best friend, he was arrested by the Nazi Gestapo and spent 16 months in Auschwitz. When he got out, he says, he had only 72 pounds distributed on his 6-foot, 2-inch frame. He did not expect to live after his recovery, he changed his family name, Lowenthal, to Van Loen and returned to the Royal Academy to finish the formal and classical training in anatomy, architectural drawing, pottery, carpentry and casting. By the time he graduated, the war was over, and he decided to come to the United States. When Van Loen talks about this part of his background, the details are sketchy, sometimes contradictory. He does not dwell on that period of his life, and he will not be pressed for specifics. "People should never forget the atrocities of that war," he says. "But they should not continue, living with the memories of it." There are happier memories of his life in the United States, which began April 4, 1947, when a rebuilt troop transport brought 800 emigrants, including the 22-year-old Van Loen, to New York. If there are any gaps in Van Loen's life as a U.S. citizen, they come in the early-1950s when he abandoned the Bohemian life of a young, promising New York artist and traveled to Mexico and briefly to Europe. In 1958, he married Helen Roberts (his second marriage ended in divorce and his first marriage, in pre-war Europe, is shrouded in mystery).
