SLAVE ARCHIVE INCL. 68 BILLS OF SALEArchiveSLAVE ARCHIVE INCL. 68 BILLS OF SALEArchive of approximately 75 ephemera items, the majority related to slaves purchased by David Morris Harding (1795-1854) and his wife, Fanny Davis Harding of Nashville, Tennessee. (Their plantation on the banks of the Harpeth River would come to be known as Devon Farm after passing into the hands of Fanny's nephew, Edward Hicks II). Includes 68 slave bills of sale, indentures, and/or receipts, some pertaining to the sale of multiple African American men, women, and children, plus notebooks, a slave census, copy of Fanny Harding's will, and other related documents. 8 of the slave bills are partially printed, from the state of Maryland, the remainder are handwritten (some are labeled copies, all are period, earliest one dates circa 1816) and involve participants in the slave trade from Virginia, Mississippi, Kentucky, and (primarily) Tennessee. Notable among the slave receipts is an 1833 bill of sale for $800 paid by David Harding to his nephew William Giles Harding of neighboring Belle Meade Plantation, with William G. Harding acting as guardian for Elizabeth Harding "the only heir of William Harding", for "seven negro slaves, to wit Mariah and her six children namely Tom, Elizabeth, Patsy, Robert, Major and Lucy," and an 1832 bill of sale from Elizabeth Harding to David Harding for $400 for the sale of "one negro man named Major", witnessed by Felix Robertson (son of Nashville founder James Robertson) and Willoughby Williams (a sheriff of Davidson County and colonel in state militia). Also notable is the 1820 sale of a slave named Mandaville from John B. Harding of Powhatan Virginia to David M. Harding for $650, witnessed by Giles Harding, and the 1859 sale of a "slave named Josephine about age twenty" for $1,400 from F.M. and Sallie Blackwell of Alabama to Fanny G. Harding. In addition to the bills of sale are the following documents: 1) A pencil-written census on lined paper listing 20 names in a column labeled "white" and 14 names in a column labeled "black", with what appears to be a count of members of various households. Undated. 2) A receipt from the Richmond, VA Enquirer newspaper, dated May 19, 1821, to David M. Harding, for advertising "Cash for Negroes" at a charge of $1.75. 3) Partially printed receipt from Hamilton and Fuller, "Manufacturers of Negro Brogans, Men's and Boy's Calf, Kip, and Thick Boots & Shoes, Ladies Shoes of All Kinds, House Servants Shoes etc. Corner of Market and Church Street, Nashville" dated 1856 in account with Mr. (sic) F. J. Harding (likely Fanny Harding). Note Hamilton's name is scratched out with "Eben" inserted over it. The Bill is for 2 pairs Brogans at $1.75 each and is signed Eben Fuller. 4) Receipt to David M. Harding from William G. Anderson for several health related goods and services including "24 portions quinine, dawes, capricum and ... for four servant children" and "to visit by night, bleeding, cupping, and call same day and cupping for servant man" etc. 5) David Harding small marbleized cover notebook recording expenditures including "to board negroes". 6) David Harding notebook recording supplies "bought for negroes" including shirts and pantaloons, buttons, cloth for coats, sugar, coffee, salt etc. 7) April 27, 1864 handwritten true copy will of David Harding's widow, Fanny Davis Harding (1801-1865), which notes "I desire that my mulatto boy Henry, now aged about 5 years, and my two negroes Sam and West... shall be liberated and manumitted according to law" and bequeaths her land to Edward Hicks. A few brief scrap notes referencing slaves are also included. Provenance: the estate of Sarah Hunter Hicks Green, formerly of Historic Devon Farm, Nashville, Tennessee.

BOURBON CO. KY HOUSE SAMPLER C.1815BourbonBOURBON CO. KY HOUSE SAMPLER C.1815Bourbon County, Kentucky House Sampler attributed to Martha "Patsy" Hook, c. 1815. Silk on linen sampler featuring a strawberry border enclosing three alphabets, a basket of flowers, and a verse surrounded by bird and flowering vine motif, reading, "Teach me to feel another's woe/ To hide the fault I see/ That mercy I to others show/That mercy show to me." (Verse by Alexander Pope, from "The Universal Prayer."). Below the verse is a brick Federal style house and gate, with the names of her parents Thomas and Sarah Hook, and brother Samuel, stitched to the sides. The sampler incorporates a variety of stitches, especially in the alphabet and under the basket of flowers. Housed under glass in a wide flame grain mahogany veneered frame. Sight: 16" H x 17 1/2" W. Frame: 21 1/2" H x 23" W. A packet of genealogical information is available to the winning bidder. Note: Patsy Hook's sampler appears to be unfinished. Her name is absent, as are the names of her seven other brothers and sisters. Thomas and Sarah "Sally" Long Hook were both born in Maryland, but had moved to Bourbon County by 1793, and Sarah gave birth to Martha "Patsy" Hook in 1800. Patsy married Elijah Breeding on Sept. 6, 1824 in Nicholas County, KY, and they had 3 children. By 1829 the couple had moved to Missouri along with her parents, becoming early pioneers of that state. Elijah Breeding died there in 1830, leaving Patsy a young widow. She married James Sims in 1833, but died less than a year later in 1834. The sampler has descended in her family with the oral attribution to her as the stitcher.
Condition:
Thread color has faded, and there is a 3/4" line of ground repair adjacent to the 4th verse line. The upper portion of the f's in the verse appear to be missing, but this may be the way they were stitched. Not examined out of frame. Frame may not be original.
DRAWING OF JUROLIN ATTR. HOKUSAI, EX-ERNESTDRAWING OF JUROLIN ATTR. HOKUSAI, EX-ERNEST FENOLLOSAAttributed to Katsushika Hokusai (Japan, 1760-1849) brushed ink on paper sketch depicting the bearded figure of Jurojin, god of longevity, accompanied by a mino-game (a long-lived turtle with algae resembling hair growing from its shell). Jurojin smiles faintly as he opens his Scroll of Life, which states the lifespan of all living things. On laid paper affixed to Japan paper. Typed label affixed to backing reads "Sketch by Hokusai / 1750-1849 Japan./From Collection of the/Late Ernest Fenollosa," along with "148" and, in pencil, "1750-1849." Additional sticker on backing reads "For Patsy/Wedd. Gift from Kin[g]sbury Bull." Housed under glass in a bamboo frame with tan mat. Original Sheet: 9 1/8" H x 12 1/2" W. Full Sheet: 10 1/2" H x 14 1/4" W. Frame: 12 5/8" H x 16 7/16" W. Note: Ernest Fenollosa (1853-1903) was Curator of Oriental Art at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) from 1890-1896. He attended the MFA's art school before traveling to Japan in 1878 to teach at the Imperial University at Tokyo. After eight years, he helped found the Tokyo Fine Arts Academy and the Imperial Museum, acting as its director in 1888. In 1886 he sold his art collection to Boston physician Charles Goddard Weld (1857-1911) on the condition that it go to the MFA. In 1890 he returned to Boston to be Curator of the Department of Oriental Art at the MFA. There Fenollosa organized the first exhibition of Chinese painting at the MFA and developed the Department into a training center for generations of scholars. Fenollosa published "Masters of Ukioye," a historical account of Japanese paintings and color prints that were exhibited at the New York Fine Arts Building, in 1896. He inspired Boston collectors to venture into the relatively new field of Far Eastern art, endowing the MFA with one of the earliest and best Asian art collections in the United States. Fenollosa, together with Weld and another collector, William Sturgis Bigelow, formed what were known as the "Boston Orientalists." (Adapted from the Dictionary of Art Historians) Fenollosa served as a visiting lecturer at Yale University during the 1903-1904 academic year. Frederick Kingsbury Bull was a Sophomore at Yale at this time. (Source: "Catalog of Yale University, 1903-1904," New Haven, 1903).

Untitled, KKK, 2000, signed lower right with monogram "WR", hand-tooled and dyed leather, 12-1/8 x 11-1/8 in.
Note:
Born in rural Georgia, raised in a community tied to the cotton fields, Winfred Rembert survived a childhood of poverty in the segregated South of the 1940s. He would go on to be a nationally recognized artist, and his biography - Chasing Me to My Grave: An Artist's Memoir of the Jim Crow South - was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 2022.
It was not a well paved path. In 1966, after a demonstration in Americus, Georgia, Rembert was arrested and put in jail without being charged. A year later, he escaped but was caught and hung up by a group of deputy sheriffs. They stuck him with a knife but did not kill and burn him as he had anticipated. He spent the next seven years in a chain gang. Remarkably, he met his wife while building roads and bridges in rural Georgia as part of his prison sentence. While in prison, a man named TJ taught him how to carve wallets out of leather, a skill that he would use decades later in his embossed leather paintings.
After his release, Rembert and Patsy married and they moved to New York, then Connecticut, where he worked a variety of jobs. Not until in his 50s after a second round in prison, did he begin to draw and paint the scenes of his youth, carving the stories into tactile leather canvases.
In 2000, Rembert had a well publicized show at the Yale University Art Gallery. In 2002, he was introduced to Peter Tillou after speaking about his artwork at a school in Waterbury, Connecticut. A short time later they agreed to a working relationship that included numerous exhibitions and his 2010 "coming out" show at Adelson Galleries in New York. His work has entered major museum and private collections.

"Chain Gang
In the ditch on the chaingang was a tough place to be. The work was hard and there were allways snakes & bees. I always keep my bushaxe sharp and ready for any wild animals that was harmful. When it came to bees there were no defence. All you could do was stand there and take the pain. The sun was another factor. We rarely had shad and we worked reguardles, rain or shine, hot or cold. You have to be strong in mind to do time on a chain gang. Mentat cruelty is a big part of doing time. Every day you have to prepare yourself on how to deal with the daly cruelty. Some make it and some dont. It was hard but I made it. The chain gang a big part of my life

Baptism,WINFRED REMBERT(American/Georgia, 1945-2021)
Baptism, circa 2004, inscribed bottom center "Winfred Rembert", dye on carved and tooled leather, 18 x 24 in.; metal frame 18-1/2 x 24-1/2 in.
Note: Born in rural Georgia, raised in a community tied to the cotton fields, Winfred Rembert survived a childhood of poverty in the segregated South of the 1940s. He would go on to be a nationally recognized artist, and his biography - Chasing Me to My Grave: An Artist?s Memoir of the Jim Crow South - was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 2022.
It was not a well paved path. In 1966, after a demonstration in Americus, Georgia, Rembert was arrested and put in jail without being charged. A year later, he escaped but was caught and hung up by a group of deputy sheriffs. They stuck him with a knife but did not kill and burn him as he had anticipated. He spent the next seven years in a chain gang. Remarkably, he met his wife while building roads and bridges in rural Georgia as part of his prison sentence. While in prison, a man named TJ taught him how to carve wallets out of leather, a skill that he would use decades later in his embossed leather paintings.
After his release, Rembert and Patsy married and they moved to New York, then Connecticut, where he worked a variety of jobs. Not until in his 50s after a second round in prison, did he begin to draw and paint the scenes of his youth, carving the stories into tactile leather canvases.
In 2000, Rembert had a well publicized show at the Yale University Art Gallery. In 2002, he was introduced to Peter Tillou after speaking about his artwork at a school in Waterbury, Connecticut. A short time later they agreed to a working relationship that included numerous exhibitions and his 2010 coming out show at Adelson Galleries in New York. His work has entered major museum and private collections.

Provenance: Minnie Randolph Bishop Collection, USA Sale: Sotheby, Parke-Bernet, New York, "Green Collection," May 25, 1972, Lot 75 The Robert "Trader Bob" Bayuk Collection, deaccessioned 2012 The James M. Cole Collection, Visalia, CA Notes: From a letter by Craig Bates, the former Curator of Ethnography at the Yosemite Museum writes about Emma Murphy and this basket: "Emma Murphy was born Emma Jim, the daughter of Captain and Patsy Jim, in the late 1860s or early 1870s near Mono Lake. She was a sister of Tina and Nellie Charlie...I know of very few documented baskets woven by Emma Murphy. In 1912, when Estella Falla worked in Nelson Salter's Yosemite Store and purchased baskets from local Indian women, she remarked that Emma's weaving was '"...a close second." to Lucy Telles'. Although her weaving career was relatively short, her work must have been exceptional to have been so rated by Estella Falla...The use of realistic animal patterns was, apparently, favored by Emma Murphy. The bat-like creatures on the basket in the Yosemite Museum collection are not as precisely executed as the animals on your basket. Since the basket in the Yosemite Museum was collected in 1912 or 1913, I'd think that yours was collected sometime later since your animals are more neatly made...As near as we can ascertain, Emma Jim Murphy died in late 1925...Your basket is a fine example of the weaving of the Yosemite-Mono lake region, and a rare example of the work of a weaver who died at the height of her creativity."
