- WILLIAM M. PRIOR PORTRAIT OF A
WILLIAM M. PRIOR PORTRAIT OF A WOMAN PAINTING Massachusetts, Maine,1806-1873Depicts Lucy Colfax Prince, wife of Edward St. John Neally of Bath, Maine, dressed in black with a lace collar. Neally attended Bowdoin before leaving to join his cousin Jonathan Cilley's Law office in Thomaston, Maine. William Prior was an itinerant portrait artist having painted all throughout New England. Prior is best known for his naive style portraits that he advertised for a quarter of the price of detailed portraits, but also painted more sophisticated works on glass. Prior's work was unique in that the prices he charged for his work varied by detail, flatter paintings were cheapest while more detailed paintings cost more, however his cheapest paintings were often the most vibrant. His work can be found in the Portland Museum of Art, Maine; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and the Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum amongst others.

- PRESIDENT KENNEDY MOST HISTORIC
PRESIDENT KENNEDY MOST HISTORIC CIVIL RIGHTS NOTEThis note showcases President John F. Kennedy writing the last names King, Abernathy, and Wilkins on his gold-embossed Aboard Air Force One stationery. JFK was obviously referring to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Ralph Abernathy, who headed the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and Roy Wilkins, president of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). Exactly sixty years ago, during the summer of 1963, Kennedy became the first president since Abraham Lincoln to address the civil rights agenda nationwide. The riots in Birmingham with police dogs and fire hoses; George Wallace's face-down with Nicholas Katzenbach over two blacks wishing to enroll at the University of Alabama; the killing of four young black girls at a church bombing in Birmingham; the August 28th Freedom March at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.; and the eventual assassination of Kennedy himself dominated the 1963 news.
The late Evelyn Lincoln called it one of the most critical doodles ever sketched by John Fitzgerald Kennedy!
Provenance: comes from the John Burke Jovich collection. World-renowned US Presidential Historian.
JFK's personal secretary during his senatorial and White House years, Evelyn Lincoln, was a dear friend of mine. She frequently reminded Kennedy to pass on his doodles and notes, all unofficial documents, to his friend Congressman Mike Kirwan. Evelyn and her husband Abe (Harold) Lincoln, reviewed every one of JFK's doodles in my Kirwan collection during my visit at their Chevy Chase, MD home back in the early 1990s. She never questioned their authenticity, and her vivid memory of Kennedy scrawling some of the documents brought tears to her eyes. Evelyn was the expert at deciphering the late president's difficult to read handwriting
