- HIPPOPOTAMUS IVORY LION CANECa. 1890-Fashioned
HIPPOPOTAMUS IVORY LION CANECa. 1890-Fashioned of hippopotamus tooth in a basic L-shape with a short neck and slightly arched hand rest, the handle is carved at the front with a panel showing a powerful lion’s head with a mighty muzzle and sharp teeth and a the rear with a skull and a bone in a cavity. Evocative of a King of The Jungle snoozing in a hidden den after a good meal, the handle comes with a three stacked plain rings silver collar, a stepped malacca shaft and a metal ferrule. The cane aged well with the right portion of wear to increase its appeal without diminishing its value. Its overall flavor speaks for the workshops of Henry Howell, the leading English cane maker who supplied the specialized trade from his workshop in Birmingham. H. 4” x 1 ¾”, O.L. 34 ¾” The lion is the king of the beasts in most parts of the world and no animal has been given more attention in art and literature. Lions are recurring symbols in the coat of arms of royalty and chivalry, probably because nobility wished to be associated with its valor and strength. C.A.W. Guggisberg, in his book Simba, says the lion is referred to 130 times in the Bible. Because of the animal’s teeth size, hippopotamus ivory is only available in smaller, flat pieces and this particular one, with a form dictated by the natural shape of the tooth, is from the largest size one could encounter. Fragile through a layered structure and sensitive to moisture with an inborn tension, hippo tooth carvings often split in dry weather and acquire over the years a luminous surface coupled to a specific patina.

- CDV ALBUM HONORS ANDERSONVILLE INMATES
CDV ALBUM HONORS ANDERSONVILLE INMATES AND SHOWS MAP OF "TUNNEL ATTEMPTS" Being a small hard cover book (5-1/2 in. spine) containing twelve images compiled by Union Army Surgeon William "Doc" McPherson. The first nine portraits, which include McPherson's image, are of men from the 101st Pennsylvania Volunteers, who were captured at Plymouth, NC on August 20, 1864 and sent to the notorious prison stockade at Andersonville, Georgia. McPherson closes his gallery with images of two friends from the 1st Massachusetts Cavalry who had died elsewhere, and a third friend from an unknown regiment. The back free endpaper hosts a fairly accurate hand-drawn map of the Andersonville stockade showing five tunnel attempts, each marked with an "x." The album's front pastedown and endpaper carry the following message to those who might behold this collection in the future: "The war has long been over / The noise of the many battles died away in infinite space and and the fecund smoke of the belching guns has borne away by the pitying air and so thank God our passions and our predjudices Died and now we can see more clearly than we could in the heat of the conflict now indeed we can recognize the valor of the north and the courage of the south / i fell happy in the consciousness that i have in A measure done something towards preserving the record of those with whom i was associated and who enabled me to survive those months of imprisonment / this is not mainly to gratify the living comrades nor those who have passed beyond but rather future generations."

Wyeth and His Grandson, exhibition poster Signed lower right by Jamie Wyeth. A Legacy, Terra Museum of American Art, Chicago. Biography from the Archives of askART: The following is from The New York Times online edition, 1/25/2001: N.C. Wyeth (1882-1945), America's greatest illustrator as well as an accomplished easel painter, dedicated his career to depicting American subjects in a fresh, energetic manner uninfluenced by European art - "true, solid American subjects - nothing foreign about them," as he put it in 1903. Reflecting times in which unconditional loyalty to country was taken for granted and the American flag was a sacred symbol of freedom, N.C. executed works that encapsulated those very American qualities. As television anchorman Tom Brokaw points out in his catalogue essay, the patriarch of the Wyeth clan "was a man of the first half of the century, roughly from Theodore Roosevelt to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, when Americans seemed to be framed in red, white and blue bunting and the background music was "Yankee Doodle Dandy" or Kate Smith singing "God Bless America". N.C.'s lifelong veneration for America's historical traditions, growing out of his New England heritage and strengthened by his Chadds Ford residency in the history-rich Brandywine Valley, manifested itself in idealized, heroic images of such larger-than-life personalities as Paul Revere, George Washington, Nathan Hale, Thomas Jefferson, John Paul Jones and Abraham Lincoln. He painted stalwart views of Stonewall Jackson and Ulysses S. Grant and action-packed renditions of Civil War combat, suggesting valor and patriotism on both sides. Commissioned by the government during World War I to create recruiting and propaganda posters, Wyeth had an output that ranged from images of brave doughboys helping their wounded mates, in "WWI Poster" (1918), to dramatic paintings of terrified Huns surrendering to gun-toting American infantrymen in Kamerad! (1919). Along with other Americans, N.C. was horrified by stories of atrocities committed by the German Army. He responded with vivid, impassioned images, such as "The Abdication of Attila" (1917), done for Life magazine, that suggested that Kaiser Wilhelm had outstripped the infamous Attila the Hun as the epitome of "supreme evil" and the "arch-tyrant" of history. Pondering an offer from the War Department to become an official artist at the Western Front, Wyeth remarked, "I wouldn't mind a crack at a Boche or two, and would be tickled to death if I could disembowel their divine leader...." Responding with equal patriotic fervor to the challenge of World War II, Wyeth underscored the determination of Uncle Sam and our citizen army in Amateurs at War: The American Soldier in Action (1943) and the heroism of GIs in the Pacific in Marines Landing on the Beach (1944). He recognized the contributions of farmers to the Allied effort in Soldiers of the Soil (1942), an illustration for a Brown and Bigelow calendar, and in another calendar work, Our Emblem (1944), reflected the symbolism of the American eagle protecting a tranquil New England hamlet. Wyeth's colorful Buy War Bonds (1942), featuring an assertive Uncle Sam clutching Old Glory and urging on planes overhead and infantrymen on the ground, helped the Treasury Department sell a lot of bonds to back the war effort. One poster sold $200,000 worth of bonds, while another took in $1 million, according to Wyeth biographer David Michaelis. In a tempera-on-panel, The War Letter (1941) he depicted his parents on the bucolic grounds of their home in Needham, Mass. As his mother reads a letter from the morning mail and a newspaper describing overseas developments lies next to her, his father looks on. It is a poignant vignette reflecting keen home front concern about unfolding wartime events. To N.C. Wyeth, the choice between good and evil, freedom and tyranny in both World Wars was clear. His characteristically bold, forceful images, imbued with old-fashioned patriotism, helped spur an embattled America on to victory in both conflicts. exhibition poster Dimensions: 23 1/2"H x 19 1/4"W, 25 1/4"H x 21 1/4"W (frame)
