Mural
Print
10-1/2in. x 36in.
Signed in pen 21/250, Tom Lea
Tom Lea, one of Texas's most celebrated artists, worked for six decades as a painter, muralist, illustrator, war correspondent, and author. Lea studied at the Art Institute of Chicago under John Norton, one of the most respected muralists of the 1920s and 1930s. Building on the foundation of his teacher and mentor, Lea painted murals in Washington, D.C., Texas, Missouri, and New Mexico for the Works Progress Administration.
Lea won five murals for the WPA: The Pass of the North for the El Paso Federal Courthouse; Back Home, April 1865 for the Post Office in Pleasant Hill, Missouri; Stampede for the Odessa, Texas, Post Office; Comanches for the Seymour, Texas, Post Office; and The Nestars for the Benjamin Franklin Post Office in Washington, D.C.
This print depicts one of the earliest murals created by Lea in 1933, when he was just twenty-six years old. The original mural is 4 x 11 feet, and until 1997 when it was moved to the El Paso Museum of Art, was located at Lea's childhood home, where he created it for his younger brother. The mural begins at the left, with a depiction of Native Americans in ancient times. In the middle, Lea shows a favorite family destination, Mimbres Hot Springs, New Mexico. Lawrence Cooper, the owner of the accommodations where the Lea family would stay in New Mexico, is shown chasing a steer on horseback to the far right.

Rare Early 19th Century "Folk Art" Sign for Temperance Hotel This massive double-sided sign came from one of many "Temperance Hotels." The Temperance movement, well established in England, came to America in earnest in the early 1800s. The movement was highly organized and claimed thousands of serious adherents. One of the manifestations of the movement was the appearance of "Temperance Hotels," where tee-totaling travelers could be assured of like-minded company. It is impossible to date this particular sign with certainty. Its style suggests that it was made perhaps around 1820-1840. Our research has uncovered a Temperance Hotel in Lucas County, Ohio (Toledo), an area where the unusually named Eldreds were in evidence. A record of the County Commissioners from 1843 notes the authorization for a road originating at the already-existing Temperance Hotel. The dating would seem appropriate for this sign, so it may well be from that hotel. This is a massive double-sided outdoor sign, identical on both sides (the lettering is a little more weathered, although still clear, on one side). A wide wood rim, rather like that of a wagon wheel, encircles the entire sign. It is in fine original condition, totally unrestored. A heavy metal support base has been custom-made to facilitate convenient display. Width 42" x height 22". The thickness of the encompassing wood rim is 3". Just a super folk art sign, but a special prize for the collector of Temperance items!

Political
William Henry Harrison: A Colorful Jacquard-Woven Coverlet. The border is decorated with folk art profiles of the presidents, each of whom is named, beginning with Washington and ending with Harrison, the incumbent president when the coverlet was made. Over the years, we have seen small sections from this item, depicting a single president, but had never before encountered the complete coverlet. These woven pieces were highly popular across the middle-American states from the 1830s-1850s. Anyone who has attended quality antique shows is familiar with the genre. While many were carefully designed and crafted by individual weavers in their homes, there were also commercial designs, and we presume the present example would fall in this category. While each example had to be hand-woven, it was not uncommon to produce multiple examples of the same design. The fact that fragments from other coverlets have appeared supports the "commercial" attribution for this particular coverlet. Also, it is woven as a single piece rather than assembled from sections, indicating that it was made on a large, stationary loom rather than the smaller, portable models used by itinerant weavers or in private homes.
It relates closely to a similar coverlet which is pictured in various reference books and appears occasionally on the market, with profiles of Zachary Taylor around the border. Although Harrison is not the prime focus here, we regard it as quite legitimate to term this a "Harrison item," just as prints with the presidents up through the incumbent at that time are viewed as items for that president.
Overall display condition is very nice. It has no major damage, but only several small, inconsequential holes. There is some staining in one corner, as shown, and some typical wear on the un-fringed edge. This is the edge that would be pulled up over the sleeping owners, and hence would be handled much more than the decorative, fringed edges, which went around the sides and foot of the bed. A most unusual early presidential textile, with wonderful "period feel" and display appeal. Measures: 84" x 84".

1852 Campaign Cartoon Broadside. 10.75" x 7.5", single sided, paper slightly toned with age, lightly foxed, else very good condition. This is an inside look at the 1852 elections through a very cynical political cartoon. The cartoon entitled "Soliciting a Vote" depicts a hapless working-man voter being accosted by hopeful presidential candidates (left to right): Whig senator from Massachusetts Daniel Webster, Texas Democrat Sam Houston, Illinois Democrat Stephen A. Douglas, and Whig general Winfield Scott. The cartoon must date before the June 5 nomination of dark-horse Franklin Pierce as the Democratic candidate, as Pierce is not shown. In the left background stands Henry Clay leaning against a chair observing the scene, along with President Millard Fillmore who looks in through a window.
Early Winfield Scott Tin Box Although "only" of Civil War vintage, this is still a great 3-D item for this very tough candidate. Fairly large tin box with hinged lid (now separated), the front a colorful paper label for "First Quality Cream Tartar," and featuring a nice portrait of Scott with eagle and flags. The label itself is a wonderful example of "period" lithography by H. L. Legien, Gold St., New York, and recorded by J. O. Cooke "in the year 1862." Scott, of course, was still alive and at the end of his illustrious career, serving as supreme commander of the Union Armies. The sides of the box were painted blue (original) and are extensively scratched. The label itself shows overall even "aging," but still has a pleasing, if weathered, display appearance. 7.5" x 6" x 9.5" in height.

John Bell: A Rare Large Oval Ferrotype Brooch for this 1860 Lincoln Opponent. There were four presidential candidates in 1860, and these beautiful large ovals were produced for each candidate. The Lincoln is, not surprisingly, the most common as items for the elected president tended to be saved. By far the rarest are the Bell and Breckenridge. The present example, from the legendary Joe Brown collection is essentially bright and near-mint but for some fine deliberate defacement. There are minute scratches on each of Bell's eyes and the initials "T.H.T." have been lightly scratched above. The "artist" has also added two fine scratches on Bell's cravat. Barely noticeable from most angles. Still a very collectible example, particularly in light of its rarity. Original pin on reverse. 27mm x 40mm.

Bryan & Taft: A Pair of Gorgeous 1¾" Buttons from the 1908 Campaign. Like many of the colorful button designs of that year, this format was used for both candidates. It is surely one of the most attractive designs to come out of that campaign. We offer these as a pair for good reason: it is quite often the case with older celluloids that they age differently. This is particularly the case with the reds and blues, which tend to fade to varying degrees. These factors make it hard to assemble truly "matched" pairs of buttons from this early period. These two 1908 beauties look so nice together that we felt it was really a shame to separate them. Both are very well centered and in excellent condition.

Letter From a Private in the 5th Texas Infantry "Field's Division". From Charles M. McCally, three pages, 5" x 8", April 9, 1864, in ink, to recipient "Drape". It would seem that this letter expresses McCally's displeasure at not having his application for promotion considered or approved. He writes in part "The "Parlor Knights" who dispense those forms cannot see how a man capable of filling the position sought can after three years service still be in ranks." In another part of the letter he writes that he is receiving plenty to eat and that he is "...farther from the blue bellies than at any time since entering the service...". He laments his sobriety writing "Hav'nt [sic] had a drink for 6 mo [sic] what do you think of that. Not because I didn't want it but couldn't be had."

Steele which gives general satisfaction among the troops. We are constantly menaced by guerrillas in small bands firing on our pickets and forage trains just enough to keep scouting lively but think we are not in danger of an attack in force." Potter then goes on to give his younger sister heartfelt advice on how to handle her affairs - "...try to cement the family union with bonds of love stronger than those of iron. Well do I remember that the happiest days I ever spent were those I spent at "home". God grant I yet may live to return...". The other letter from Potter, four pages, dated August 28, 1862, also sent from Helena, Arkansas is to his mother. In this letter he mentions that "Gen. Curtis has not moved his army into the interior nor does he prove so efficient a commander as to hang guerrillas." The third letter is from Lucy Potter to her mother. Lucy Potter is presumably Edward's mother and in this letter she makes mention of him being attached to the 1st Division in the commissary department. All letters are legible and in very good condition.

1861 Letter With Secession and Slavery Content. From A. T. Hileman, four pages, 5" x 8", Hawkins [Georgia?], June 2, 1861, in ink, to his brother. Hileman writes to his brother to request his help on building a house. He speaks of forgoing his planting of tobacco so as to have time to build a house. He mentions that his corn and clover crops are doing well and that prices are strong his crops. In the midst of the letter he mentions "Our secession election is next Saturday. There is great confusion among the people.

Letter From a Private in the 17th Texas Infantry From Thomas L. Bateman, two pages, 8.5" x 11", "Camp near Monroe, La", January 14, 1864, in ink, to his wife. During the Civil War disease and illness were as big a killer as shell and shot. This letter certainly illustrates that point as Bateman writes "I hope that I will never again be sick in the army". It is obvious that in a previous letter his wife has asked him to obtain a furlough and come home to which he writes "Gen Polinac [sic] [General Camille Armand Jules Marie, Prince de Polignac also known as "Prince Polecat"] made a speech to us last week in which he said that Gen. Mouton [Jean Jacques Alfred Alexandre Mouton] had ordered him not to grant any furloughs over here but he said as soon as we left here he would give some." Bateman tells his wife that he's got plenty of warm clothing but laments "I was compelled to buy me a pair of boots the other day and had to pay one hundred and ten dollars for them." He goes on to say "Everything is high here and most persons say they had as soon give any thing away as to sell it for Confederate money. I have no confidence in the money myself, not that I am whipped or think the country will be subjugated...". A most interesting letter slightly faded with the usual crease marks, a minute hole in one of the creases, and some discoloration at the folds, else very good.
Civil War Letter From A Soldier in the 25th Georgia Volunteer Infantry. From L. B. Robbins, two pages, 6.25" x 8", Dalton, Georgia, April 10, 1864, written in ink, to Mrs. Marey Stewart, address unknown. Though this letter doesn't have vivid descriptions of battles it does perfectly illustrate the level of education of the average Confederate soldier. The soldier is barely literate as illustrated by the rather liberal spelling errors: "Sister, it is with the gratis [sic] of pleshur [sic] that I seat myself this morning to write you a few lines...the boys in camp are ginreley [sic] well and tolreliley [sic]good spirits". The letter itself is legible, there are some old tape repairs which have bled through and affected a couple of lines of text, else good condition.
A Worried Mother's Letter to Her Daughter During the Civil War. From Gloriana Gordon, one page, 7.5" x 10", Georgetown, D.C., March 14, 1864, in ink, to her daughter (un-named), likely in Richmond, Virginia. A poignant letter from a worried mother seeking some word of comfort from her daughter that is likely caught up in the siege of Richmond. She writes in part "I am always anxious about you, but more particularly so now, since the recent difficulties in your city." She also informs her daughter of the health status of numerous of her friends. One young acquaintance is apparently hovering near death and she writes "Is it not indeed true, that "those whom heaven loves, die young"?" Gloriana Gordon was the wife of William A. Gordon, who was a prominent Confederate officer and Chief Clerk of the Quartermaster Corps of the Confederate Army. The letter has the usual fold marks but it is clear and legible and in very good condition.
Confederate Soldier With Clark's Texas Regiment Civil War Letter . From John T. Pierce, four pages, 7.25" x 12", blue paper, written from "Camp near Little Rock AR", January 24, 1863, in pen, to Mollie McNeill, Raymond, Mississippi. A candid letter from a common man made a soldier due to uncommon times. Pierce was a Commissary Sergeant in Co. B, 14th Texas Infantry. He writes in part "...I did not become a soldier from a love of such a life...Neither was I verdant enough, to entertain the common hallucination that soldiering is was high sport... I was well aware too that my former mode of life had not fitted me to endure these things...I waited till I believed that the services of every arms-bearing man were needed, and then with a free good will & resolve to do my whole duty, I made myself a soldier." He mentions several well-known commanders in the Texas regiments "Col. Ed Clark recently governor of Texas is our regimental commander. Randall commands the brigade, McCulloch has been in command of the whole division Walker now is and Holmes commands the whole department." Pierce spends much time discussing the toll that disease is taking on the regiment. Lastly, there is the typical request for news from home. A truly interesting missive from a common soldier. The letter has been folded and there is wear at the folds with some very small tears, else a legible letter in very good condition.

Commander M. B. Woolsey's Orders for the Defense Against A Confederate Breakout at Sabine Pass. Two pages, 8" x 12.5", manuscript signed "M. B. Woolsey", in ink, dated March 16, 1864, in near fine condition. Commander Woolsey writes: "From observations made during the past week, I have reason to believe that the enemy in Sabine, despairing of running the blockade with their cotton, are now arming the "Clifton" and the "Cotton clad"; the "Sachen" and the gunboat "J. H. Bell" being already armed and that it is their intention to come out in force, and attempt to raise the blockade." Woolsey then proceeds to list a ten point plan for thwarting the rebel attempt to break the blockade. Of note is the seventh point which reads: "Cease firing upon any vessel of the enemy which may haul down her colors, but be on the guard against treachery."

Riley has penned an interesting inscription on the front free end paper. It reads in full: "For - Mrs. Robert A. Brown - (neé Smith) - With hale esteem and gratitude, her old Hoosier friend - James Whitcomb Riley *See "The Smitten Purist"". The former Miss Smith must at one time have been the object of Riley's attention. The poem he calls her attention to is fully titled "The Smitten Purist and the Charming Miss Smith's Effect Upon Him". The poem in question is a fanciful attempt to rhyme "Smith" with various concocted words with a lisping theme - "O had I a name that would rhyme with Smith/ Thome rhythmical tincture of rethonant blith" and so on. The former Miss Smith has used a piece of white yarn to covertly mark the page - perhaps to hide it from her current husband?
