• RICHARD E. BISHOP
  RICHARD E. BISHOP (1887-1975)Prairie Wings, 1945 signed and dated "Richard E Bishop '45 ©" lower left oil on canvas, 30 by 25 in. signed, titled, and dated on back An edition of "Prairie Wings" by Edgar M. Queeny, published by Ducks Unlimited in 1946 accompanies the lot. In 1946, Edgar Queeny published "Prairie Wings" through Ducks Unlimited. It is now one of the most important books on waterfowl ever written. He studied the landing patterns of birds over Wingmead, his 14,000 acre property in Arkansas, which had three named green tree reservoirs: Wingmead, Paddlefoot, and Greenwood. Queeny was an active patron of Bishop's and partnered with the artist for the many illustrations throughout the book, including the color frontispiece. Queeny wrote, “Dick’s paintings and etchings of wildfowl are outstanding because he is not only a superb artist but a topnotch engineer! As a result of his engineering training and his understanding of aerodynamics, mechanics of flight and the anatomy of birds came as second nature to him…the results are portraits of birds as they really fly!” Bishop’s original drawings and Queeny’s photographs from "Prairie Wings" were donated by Thomas K. Figge to the John L. Wehle Gallery of Sporting Art at the Genesee Country Village & Museum in 1986, where they remain in the permanent collection. This famous frontispiece for "Prairie Wings" comes from the collection of Joseph N. Pew Jr., the Sun Oil heir, philanthropist, and avid sportsman. He hunted and fished in Nova Scotia, started the Pew Charitable Trusts, and likely encountered Edgar M. Queeny in New York’s Links Club, where both were members. Provenance: Joseph N. Pew Jr. Collection Alberta Hensel Pew Baker Collection, Chester, Nova Scotia Private Collection Literature: Edgar M. Queeny, "Prairie Wings: Pen and Camera Flight Studies," New York, NY, 1946, frontispiece, XIII, p. 225.

• PORTRAIT, POSSIBLY JENNY LIND OR
  PORTRAIT, POSSIBLY JENNY LIND OR FANNY MENDELSSOHNLarge mid 19th century oil on canvas full length portrait of a woman wearing a black mourning dress, possibly Jenny Lind (1820-1887) or Fanny Mendelssohn (1805-1847). The subject holds sheet music titled "Auf Flugeln des Gesanges," (On Wings of Song), a melody written in 1834 by composer Felix Mendelssohn (with whom Lind reputedly had a love affair; Medelssohn died in 1847, and Lind, who married Otto Goldschmitt in 1852, continued to perform the song). Unsigned. 59" H x 49 1/2" W sight, 67" x 54" framed. Later laurel-molded giltwood frame. Note: while this portrait carries an oral history of portraying Lind, a famous singer of her day who frequently performed this song, the subject could also be Mendelssohn's sister Fanny, a composer in her own right, who was married to a painter, Wilhelm Hensel. It was reportedly sold through C.G. Sloan Auctioneers in Washington, DC in the early 20th century with an attribution to painter Anna Massey Lea Merritt (1844-1930).
