EXTRAORDINARY STONEWARE
EXTRAORDINARY STONEWARE DOUBLE-HANDLED MOLASSES JUG ATHENS, OHIO, 1860S HEIGHT 12.25".EXTRAORDINARY STONEWARE DOUBLE-HANDLED MOLASSES JUG, Athens, Ohio, 1860s, Unique and extensive incised and cobalt blue decoration. Obverse incised "Molasses", "Govr J. Thompson" and "Athens" around a house with a figure in the doorway. Incised below each handle are unique mythical animals, one a half dog-half dragon and the other a half fish-half dragon, both creatures with forked tongues and devil's tails. The half dog-half dragon is pouncing on a blossom and slender leaf, possibly a magnolia. Reverse with an incised leaf, probably an oak leaf. Handles with cobalt blue highlights. Dimensions: Height 12.25". Provenance: The Collection of Bob & Nancy Skinner.Illustrated:The Magazine Antiques, June 1926, cover illustration. Includes a copy of the issue.Notes:Given the menacing nature of the creatures depicted and the lack of a governor named J. Thompson in Ohio history, it is believed this is not a presentation jug but rather a Civil War-era commentary against Confederate Jacob Thompson (1810-1885) of Mississippi. Thompson served in Congress and then as U.S. Secretary of the Interior before resigning at the outbreak of the Civil War to serve as Inspector General of the Confederate States Army and later in the Confederacy's "Secret Service". He was widely denounced in the north as a traitor and conspirator for his involvement, or rumored involvement, in several devious plots, including the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.Thompson's home in Oxford, Mississippi was burned down by Union troops in 1864, which could be the reference for the images seen here, with Thompson the figure in the house, the creatures breathing fire to symbolize the soldiers who set the house ablaze, and the half dog-half dragon trampling a magnolia blossom, an emblem of Mississippi.We can find no official record of Thompson having run for governor, though he may have been a losing candidate during a Civil War-era election. "Gov.r." used here may have been an intentional derogatory slight or was an accidental misuse of the title by the maker.Thompson lived in England and Canada in the years immediately following the Civil War but eventually returned to the United States and settled in Memphis, Tennessee. When he died in 1885, flags in Washington, D.C. were lowered to half-mast in his honor, a recognition that outraged Republicans and Union veterans.

GEORGE CALEB BINGHAM (1811-1879)
GEORGE CALEB BINGHAM (1811-1879) MARTIAL LAW MEZZOTINTGeorge Caleb Bingham (Missouri, 1811-1879) Martial Law, 1872 Mezzotint & engraving on paper 21 1/2" x 31" (image) One of George Caleb Bingham's most renowned works, Martial Law is a Civil War era illustration of General Order 11, when the Union Army ordered the 1863 evacuation of rural areas of western Missouri. While the intention of this edict was to clear rural areas of Confederate sympathizers for the safety of Union troops, the effect of evicting so many from their homes was a pro-Confederate sentiment in the area. Bingham vehemently opposed the order, and warned General Thomas Ewing (here pictured observing Jayhawkers forcing residents from their homes): "If you execute this order, I shall make you infamous with pen and brush." Engraved by John Sartain (Pennsylvania, 1808-1897) after the 1868 Bingham oil that is part of the State Historical Society of Missouri's permanent collection. Proof, published by the George C. Bingham Company. Presented behind glass in a frame that measures 40" x 48".
Condition
A rich impression in good condition. There is some overall toning to the sheet from light exposure inside the frame sight, as well as mild foxing.

DEAN ELLIS (1920 - 2009) "ROBERT E.
DEAN ELLIS (1920 - 2009) "ROBERT E. LEE"Dean Ellis (American, 1920 - 2009) "Robert E. Lee" Signed middle right. Original Oil painting on Masonite.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This artwork was originally published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for The Shapers of America series issued in 1987.
Distinguished in family, in presence, and in character, he seemed to have every virtue. His father was the famous "Lighthorse Harry" Lee of Revolutionary fame. His wife was the great-granddaughter of Martha Washington. He presided over a magnificent Arlington estate. He went through West Point without a single demerit and served with distinction in the Mexican War. He was -- almost inevitably -- Superintendent of West Point Academy. Robert E. Lee was, indeed, an ardent patriot, devoted to the Union. But when Beauregard fired on Fort Sumter, Lee made the only decision he could, siding with his home state and the cause of its people. But, throughout the war, he was free of any private hostility. He referred to the Union troops as "those people," not the enemy. As Commander in Chief of the Army of Northern Virginia, he proved himself a brilliant combat general and skillful strategist, loved by subordinates and soldiers alike. "I would go through Hell for General Lee," Stonewall Jackson said. Against odds sometimes of two to one, Lee repeatedly took the offensive, and shattered one Union Army after another. "It is well war is so terrible," he said, "else we should get too fond of it." When he was forced to surrender, Lee bade farewell to those who had been "faithful to the last." "Take satisfaction in the consciousness of duty faithfully performed," he said. After his retirement, Lee was appointed President of Washington College in Lexington, Virginia.
