- William Henry Buck (Norwegian,
William Henry Buck (Norwegian, 1840-1888; Active New Orleans 1869-1888) "Milne Family Boys Home", oil on canvas, 20-1/4" x 27-1/4", signed lower right "Wm H. Buck". Presented in a fourth quarter 19th-century carved giltwood frame. As art historian George Jordan noted of the World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial held in New Orleans in the winter and spring of 1884 and 1885, "It was a flop. Although it did leave behind some unusual memorabilia and interesting facts concerning the endeavor". Perhaps one of the most significant items to resurface from this time period would be this historic painting of the Milne Boys Home and chapel located at 5420 Franklin Street, the former Milneburg section of the city. Given Buck's contribution to the Centennial it is quite possible that he was commissioned to produce paintings of historic buildings in New Orleans, a theme picked up most successfully by William Woodward. No doubt Buck escaped the heat of New Orleans to enjoy the air in the summer resort on Lake Pontchartrain at Old Lake or Milneburg, founded by Alexander Milne, the New Orleans philanthropist. Alexander Milne, a Scotsman, arrived in New Orleans in 1776, and established himself in the hardware trade, later branching out to brick manufacturing. A shrewd and thrifty businessman, Milne amassed a fortune in money and lands; at the time of his death he owned twenty-two miles of land along the shore of Lake Pontchartrain from the Rigolets to Jefferson Parish. At the time of his death, the newspaper editorial remarked, "It appears almost the whole of Milne's fortune was distributed to relieve human distress." Milne had dictated his will in 1836, "It is my positive will and intention, that an Asylum for Destitute Orphan Boys, and another Asylum for Destitute Orphan Girls, shall be established at Milneburg under the names of the Milne Asylums...". It was not until 1900, however, that the State of Louisiana, through the attorney general, applied for the appointment of a trustee to take charge of the property of the two Milne asylums. In the 20th century, the Milne Boys Home, also known as the Colored Waifs Home for Boys, was operated by the New Orleans Welfare Department and became a home for wayward boys. Its most famous non-resident was Louis Armstrong (1900-1971). In his memoir, Armstrong states, "All in all, I am proud of the days I spent at the Colored Waifs Home for Boys." The Milne Home is a landmark of American Music, "It was at the Colored Waifs Home for Boys that Louis Armstrong was first taught to play horn. He went on to become the voice and heart of American Jazz and to affect the world's trumpeting and music." Recently noted in a New York Times, March 19, 2006 article by Susan Saulny, the Milne Boys Home stands as a "memorial to Armstrong and a reminder of what can happen when a poor child gets a chance at a better life." Provenance: The painting has descended in an old New Orleans family whose forbears were educators, doctors and musicians.
