A REPUBLIC OF TEXAS MANUSCRIPT, LAW
A REPUBLIC OF TEXAS MANUSCRIPT, LAW ENFORCEMENT CERTIFI...A REPUBLIC OF TEXAS MANUSCRIPT, LAW ENFORCEMENT CERTIFICATE OF MEDICAL CARE RENDERED AFTER BATTERY, WILLIAM S. TAYLOR, DEPUTY SHERIFF, SIGNED, E. J. ARNOLD, PHYSICIAN, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, SEPTEMBER 18TH 1838, hand-inscribed ink on paper, "Montgomery County, Sept. 18th, 1838, Peter Blanchard to E.J. Arnold, Dr. August 12: To visit & medicine for servant girl battery - $5.00; 14th - $5.00; 15th - $5.00; [Total] $15.00.," and below in the sheriff's handwriting, "I Certify that the above service was rendered the girl during her sickness. William S. Taylor, Dept. Sheriff." 6 3/8" x 7 7/8" Note: Unmentioned in the Texas State Historical Association biography on William Stanhope Taylor (1819-1869), the present document indicates he served as a Deputy Sheriff of Montgomery county in 1838. In the present document, William S. Taylor certifies that Montgomery County's first physician, Dr. E.J. Arnold, visited to tend to and treat a "servant girl" after suffering from the wounds of battery for approximately four days. The second day skipped, but the doctor returns on the third and fourth day. An unusual remnant and evidence of a collaboration between law enforcement and medicine to foster social work in the early Republic of Texas. The present manuscript documents the response from both parties to the victim; the frontier life in Texas a perilous landscape for the most vulnerable, this ephemera is a remnant of Texas' historic pursuit of justice. Provenance: Estate of Dr. Paul E. Schutts, Houston, Texas.

Attributed to Marshall Joseph Smith
Attributed to Marshall Joseph Smith Jr. (American/New Orleans 1854-1923) "Manchac Cabin" oil on canvas unsigned "W.E. Seebold" canvas stamp en verso 12 in. x 20 in. in a period frame. Provenance: Private estate collection Birmingham Alabama. Descended in the family of William Henry Buck and his wife Marie Fortin Buck to their daughter Wilhemina Buck. Note: Of Louisiana's 19th c. landscape painters the undoubted trinity is Richard Clague Jr. and his two most talented students William H. Buck and Marshall J. Smith Jr. The fact that the work offered here was discovered in the Buck family collection points to the intimacy of the 19th c. landscape painting world in New Orleans much of which centered around William Seebold's gallery on Canal Street and his Garden District mansion. A strikingly similar signed Smith work dated 1874 can be found in the Roger Ogden Collection of Southern Art. Richard Clague Jr. had died the year before in 1873 and Smith's father bought for his son the master's sketchbooks which would provide the basis for many of Smith's works painted between 1873 and 1876. In these books were various drawings of cabins at Manchac which is located across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans. As evident in the work offered here Smith's recognizable crisp style has a more luminous and brighter palette than that of Clague. Smith was never prolific as an artist and although he lived until 1923 his output was limited. When he moved to Covington in 1906 his productivity declined further although he did continue to design floats and tableaux for the Krewe of Proteus of which he was a founding member.
