  Silhouette of Kentucky First Lady Mrs. Issac Shelby Lexington KY Watercolor on paper titled Mrs. Isaac Shelby / Lexington KY l.r. signed and dated J.W. Dodge 1802 l.l.; 7.75 x 5.5 in. The silhouette is executed on a heavier stock paper not typical of the first quarter 19th century. It is possible that the piece is executed later than 1802.Suzanna Hart Shelby daughter of of Capt. Nathaniel Hart one of the first settlers in Kentucky was married to Isaac Shelby. A soldier fighting in the American Revolutionary War and a statesman serving as Kentucky's first govenor Shelby first came to Kentucky in 1774 and became a prominent member of early Kentucky society. He was a memeber of the constitutional conventions which led to Kentucky's statehood and was a trustee of Transylvania Seminary Kentucky's first college. Shelby's military record was well known. He fought in the Revolutionary War at the famous Battle of King's Mountain an expedition over the Appalachian Mountains against the British forces in North Carolina. Shelby was called to service again for the War of 1812 where he led a regiment to the rescue of Kentucky troops during the Battle of the Thames near Detroit. The battle became so famous for Shelby that people from Michigan Ohio and Kentucky stood roadside to catch sight of the hero upon his return to Kentucky. Following the Revolutionary war Shelby relocated to Kentucky on lands given to him for his military service and became involved in Kentucky's transition from a county of Virginia to an independent state. As a war hero he was popular with the citizens; the state electoral college unanimously elected him governor in 1792. He secured the state from Indian attacks and organized Kentucky's first government. After his offical retirement from politics in 1816 Shelby was asked to serve as Secretary of War by President Monroe but he declined. In 1817 he was commissioned by Andrew Jackson to negotiate with the Chickasaw Indians for purchase of lands west of the Tennessee River. Shelby remained active in political affairs until his death at his home Traveller's Rest Lincoln County in 1826.

• KY CAPITOL PRESENTATION DOCUMENT
  KY CAPITOL PRESENTATION DOCUMENT & PLATE1st item: Ink on vellum calligraphy presentation document for the Governor of Kentucky, referencing the construction of the state's Capitol Building. Calligraphy by Kentucky historian, author and attorney Charles Mutzenberg. Features hand drawn holly border and vignette at top wtih the seal of Kentucky, and cartouche with banner reading "Testimonial for Governor J.C. W. Berkham," given by the Citizens of Frankfort, Kentucky, December Tenth, 1907. Hand written text reads as follows: "In presenting the Testimonial, Mayor Hume said 'It affords me great pleasure as Mayor of Frankfort to present this written testimonial of the appreciation of her citizens of your services in securing the construction of our new Capitol Building where the wisdom of our fathers had placed the permanent seat of government. We knew you first as a Page in the House of Representatives where later you were to wield the gavel as Speaker. Then when as Governor in those dark days frought with misery and terror for the people of Frankfort, we gradually realized that our ship of state was guided by an able and conservative statesman, who was a Kentuckian first and a partisan afterwards. The conservatism, the breadth of view, the generosity displayed by the youngest man who ever took the oath of office as Governor of Kentucky have won encomiums from your bitterest enemies and brought peace and good will to reign in the State of Kentucky, yes, even in the Capitol City, the storm center of her politics. In offering this testimonial, I cannot forbear reference to that lady, who having lived in the old mansion as the petted daughter of Governor Wickliffe, returned after so many years to occupy it as mistress until the coming of the fair young bride who joined her as the First Lady. The object lesson of two typical Kentucky women, devoted Christians both training up your little ones in the way they should go made us point with pride to the mansion as all that a Kentucky home should be. In addition to these resolutions of gratitude and esteem, our citizens regardless of party have asked me to present two beautiful gifts, a silver service to be suitably inscribed and to contain engravings of the old and new Capitol. We desire this to be handed down to John Cripps Wickliffe Beckham, Jr. and to be kept by his posterity as a memento of our appreciation of his father's services. The tall clock, which we trust will sound with its Westminster Chimes to the hours of a long and happy life for you and your dear wife, we wish to become the heritage of your daughter Eleanor, the only child ever born in the old mansion. Again thanking you for your good will and services in behalf of Frankfort, I offer these slight tokens of our appreciation of them. To Governor J.C. W. Beckham: On retirement from the high office in which you have so truly served the people, the citizenship of the Capitol City deem it a pleasure to say to you Well Done good and faithful servant. It goes without saying that devotion and fidelity to duty were to be expected from your high character and that of your distinguished ancestry. We nevertheless cannot refrain from giving this public expression of our appreciation as a testimonial from those who knew you best during the trying and eventful time of your occupancy of the Executive Chair. May your faithfulness over a few things lead an appreciative and discriminating people to call you to higher things!' -- E.E. Hume, Mayor Frankfort & Chairman of Committee." Signed lower right corner "Chas. G. Mutzenberg, Frankfort KY". Sight: 26" x 22", in later gold leaf frame: 28 1/2" x 24 3/4". 2nd item: Porcelain souvenir plate depicting the Kentucky State Capitol building with banner below image reading "Kentucky's New State Capitol, Frankfurt, Ky." 8 3/8" dia. Both items descended in Gov. Beckham's family. Biographical Note: Charles G. Mutzenberg was born in Switzerland and came to Kentucky with a group of immigrants who settled in East Bernstadt, Laurel County, Ky. in the 1880s. Though he likely had some art and calligraphy training in Europe, there is no record of his artistic studies. This proclamation was done the year he arrived in Frankfort to clerk for Judge Edward Clay (E C) O'Rear, Chief Justice of the Kentucky Court of Appeals. While clerking for Judge O'Rear, Mutzenberg passed the Bar and began practicing law about 1909. Mutzenberg may be best known for his 1917 book "Kentucky's Famous Feuds and Tragedies," on the infamous Hatfield & McCoy feud. (Biographical research courtesy of Gary Gardner).

• Asa Park (Kentucky 1790-1827)
  Asa Park (Kentucky 1790-1827) Portrait of Lafayette Kentucky Portrait of the Marquis de Lafayette ca 1824-1825 a half-portrait of Lafayette housed in an ornately carved gilt and gesso frame unsigned; 27.75 x 23 in. As the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence approached President James Monroe invited Gilbert du Motier marquis de Lafayette to tour the United States and relight the fires of 1776. Lafayette General George Washington??Ts cherished comrade-in-arms left France on July 13 1824 and landed on Staten Island New York on August 15. During the next 15 months he was honored with great pomp and circumstance in all 24 states of the Federal Union. Aged veterans turned out in large numbers to cheer his progress especially in Kentucky where it was said that ?although a nobleman by descent he was a republican in principle and was more ennobled by nature than by all the titles of hereditary.?Lafayette??Ts visit to Kentucky was cause for celebration throughout the commonwealth. He had already been warmly greeted in Washington by Henry Clay then speaker of the House of Representatives. In that chamber to the right of the speaker??Ts rostrum Ary Scheffer??Ts full length portrait of Lafayette hung a present from the artist in 1823. Inspired by that gift the Kentucky State Legislature commissioned Matthew Harris Jouett to paint a full length replica which was then placed on the right side of the speaker??Ts rostrum in the Kentucky State House. The Scheffer portrait became the inspiration for numerous engraving??Ts of Lafayette??Ts likeness and is also the source for the portrait at hand. The most likely painter of this portrait is Asa Park (1800-1827). He first advertised himself in the Lexington Reporter November 10 1816 as being from ?Boston under the patronage of the celebrated Stuart and Penniman.? Penniman was a sign painter from whom Park learned the skills required to create the sharply linear facial contours and strongly contrasting color values seen here. From 1818 until 1826 Park kept various studios in Lexington notably the one listed in the 1818 city directory at Mulberry and Main. From this base he was active in Danville and other central Kentucky locations as an itinerant. He moved to Cincinnati in 1820 in response to the severe economic downturn in Kentucky??Ts economy. He returned to Lexington in 1823. Park was an active member of the Lexington Masonic Order charged with creating displays for Lafayette??Ts grand reception. The Kentucky Reporter for May 23 1825 notes that he painted an image of the ?spread eagle of the United States? whose ?execution is in a fine bold style.? It was placed in the principal room Lafayette visited where ?walls were ornamented with??|portraits??|contributed by our artists.? Lafayette had been made a Mason by George Washington the Grand Master Mason of America and many of the leading political and military figures of the day in Kentucky were Masons. What better tribute could be placed in a Masonic Hall than a compelling portrait of this type created by Park? Feted at the Masonic Hall Lafayette received a rapturous reception in Lexington. Mary Austin Holley wife of Transylvania University President Horace Holley composed an idyllic verse for him. ?Let the love of our country pervade every breast Till it wake every soul to intense emulation Already its children in gladness are met To raise the loud anthem to brave Lafayette.? In April of 1826 Park closed his studio in Lexington and died there in January of 1827. He was buried in the garden of his surrogate father Edward West on High Street with full Masonic honors.
