Sarah T. Bolton Noted Poet
Sarah T. Bolton Noted Poet Quarter Plate Daguerreotype Quarter plate housed in a full case separated at the spine with an inked note pasted to the pad reading Mrs Sarah T. Bolton of Indianapolis In.? Presented to A.L. Ruter Dufour by the Original. 1850.Sarah T. Bolton (1814 - 1893) was an American poet known as the "Pioneer Poet Laureate of Indiana " and a women's rights activist in that state.? She began her writing career by mailing poems to the local newspaper in Madison Indiana and they were so admired by the newspaper's editor Nathaniel Bolton (1803-1858) that he asked to marry her.? They moved to Indianapolis so that Mr. Bolton could found the city's first newspaper and Sarah used the influence this position gave the couple in order to advance equal rights and democratic ideals.? She is credited with working alongside U.S. Congressman Robert Dale Owen in order to include the recognition of women's property rights in 1851 Indiana Constitution. Bolton's poetry noted for capturing the pioneer spirit of "Western" America was upbeat and melodic and often set to music and sung at schools and public gatherings.? She is commemorated today by Sarah T. Bolton Park in Indianapolis and a bronze plaque in the Indiana State House.This lot plus lots 103 and 104 were part of a larger grouping related to Amanda Ruter Dufour which surfaced in the inventory of an antiques business that closed in the northern neck of Virginia in the 1970s. Amanda Dufour (nee Ruter) was a native of Indiana and at the time these photographs were taken was the wife of a prosperous New Albany merchant. New Albany is immediately across the river from Louisville thus explaining the presence of the Prentice daguerreotype. Her connections also explain the Whitcomb daguerreotype. Dufour like Bolton was noted as a poet and lyricist and as an Indiana native would have no doubt known Bolton quite well. A picker turned up the grouping which included these three cased images plus diaries numerous books with Dufour's maiden name inside and various unidentified daguerreotypes and ambrotypes. Condition: Minor solarization at mat edges else very good.?
