John James Audubon's

"Small Work"

Audubon’s “Small Work”

Reprinted in part from an article by David Bloomin Freeman’s International View

John James Audubon’s Birds of America has become the holy grail of American books. The original double elephant folio1 was the culmination of over a decade of field observations and drawings, but the hefty 1830 subscription price of $1,000 (nearly $20,000 today) meant the work was the preserve of Audubon’s most wealthy clients. The artist was keen to produce a “small work,” a more accessible and affordable octavo version of his masterpiece. This seven-volume edition was published between 1840 and 1844 in New York and Philadelphia, this time containing 500 hand-colored lithographic plates, in comparison to the earlier folio’s 435 engraved aquatints. This $100 edition (almost $1,800 today) proved a great success and was followed by several more

editions through the 1870s, finally providing no small measure of financial comfort to Audubon and his family. *** David Bloom, Vice President and head of the Books, Maps & Manuscripts Department at Freeman’s, recently provided more insight into these two versions of Birds of America.

In what way was Audubon’s octavo version different from the double elephant folio? David Bloom: In essence, the octavo was a popular edition in which the size of the plates was reduced to 10 x 6 inches, each from sheets of roughly 40 x 27 inches. Audubon, with the aid of one of his sons, used an optical mechanism to scale the

Lakewood 400 Named to Huffington Post and USA Today’s List of Top

U.S. Antiques Markets The Lakewood 400 Antiques Market in Cumming, Ga., was recently named by the Huffington Post as one of the country’s top markets in an article titled “The Only Guide You’ll Ever Need,” a posting that’s rapidly gone viral as antique shoppers everywhere look for the best. It was also included in USA Today’s “10 Best Flea Markets for Finding Vintage Treasures” in the May 16, 2014 edition. Featured in the Huffington Post article as an “…upscale marketwithvintage,and,yes,antiquefurnishingsandaccessories,” Lakewood was included in a highly-selective short list of top markets across the U.S. including the Chicago Antique Market, Brimfield Antique and Collectibles Show in Brimfield, Mass., the Texas Antique Weekend in Round Top, Texas, the Rose Bowl Flea Market (with 2,500 vendors) in Pasadena, Calif., the Alameda Point Antiques Faire in Alameda, Calif., and the Brooklyn Flea in Brooklyn, N.Y. “We are thrilled to be included in such great company,” said Ed and Barbara Spivia, co-owners and managers of Lakewood 400, “and we know without a doubt that this recognitioncomesdirectlyfromthequalityofourdealersandtheir merchandise. We put on a lively, fun show in a terrific and welcoming facility, but it’s the dealers who keep the customers streaming through those doors.” Lakewood has seen consistent growth for the past five years, including increased dealer participation, steady rebookings, attendance and – most importantly – sales. Last year, the Spivias expanded and remodeled a new permanent hall – giving Lakewood a total of eight halls and 185 indoor permanent spaces along with an additional 315 indoor spaces. Lakewood also built out a new, fun Courtyard full of a whole newarrayofunusualitems,togoalongwiththeoutsideVeranda spaces. Lakewood 400 Antiques Market will always strive to be an upscalemarketknownforqualityanddiversityofmerchandiseand a dealer- and customer-friendly environment.

Audubon's "Small Work" Continued from Inside Front Coverillustrations down. It was executed in hand-colored lithography whichcouldproducelargerunsratherthanhand-coloredengravings that produced about 200 copies of each plate. It was first issued from 1840 to 1844 in seven volumes containing 500 plates at a cost of $100 per set, as opposed to the $1,000 per set cost for the double elephant folio. The octavo actually made money for the Audubon Family—they roughly broke even on thefolio.

How were these two versions delivered to subscribers?Bloom: Between 1826 and 1838, the folio was issued in 87 installments of five plates (pages) each. The subscribers could and would bind these in as many or as few volumes as they liked,mostcommonlyintwovolumes. The octavo was first issued like the folio in 100 unbound parts. There were seven more editions issued up until 1871. The octavo could also be purchased in seven bound volumes. The folio had 435 plates, and the octavo had 500.

What was Audubon’s method of creating his drawings? Bloom: For the most part, Audubon shot the birds and then arrangedthemwithwirestoachievealife-likeappearance.He then drew them in watercolor while the birds were still relatively fresh. The backgrounds were often contracted to other artists, usually friends of Audubon. He supervised the hand-coloring of the folio plates, done by teams of young women hired by the engraver.

How are these two versions valued today?Bloom: The octavo has been coming down in value. Ten yearsago,anattractivesetofthe1stoctavoeditioncouldfetch$100,000 at auction. Now, sets often sell between $30,000 and $50,000. Contrastingly, the last two folios sold brought $7 million and $10 million. *** The History of John James Audubon. Jean-Jacques Fougère Audubon was born illegitimately in Haiti on April 26, 1785 to Jean Audubon, a French naval lieutenant and sugar plantation owner, and Jeanne Rabin, a Creole chambermaid. His mother laterdiedwhenhersonwasveryyoung.Afteraslaveuprisingin Haiti, Jean Audubon sold the plantation and moved back to France, taking Jean-Jacques and a younger sister with him. Jean and his wife Anne Moynet, who had remained home in France while her husband was in Haiti, officially adopted Jean-Jacques in 1789. In 1803, Jean-Jacques was sent to America to avoid conscription during the Napoleonic Wars. It was there that Jean-Jacques anglicized his name to John James Audubon. From an early age, Audubon loved nature. He collected specimens of birds and animals and learned taxidermy. After he married, he decided to create a book of drawings of birds, inparttosupporthisfamily.Formanyyears,hetraveledtheUnited States looking for birds—from his home in Kentucky to Labrador, Canada, to Key West, Fla., and up the Missouri River by steamship to the Dakota Territory in present-day South Dakota. Over the course of his travels, Audubon discovered 25 new species of birds and 12 new sub-species2. Audubon was unsuccessful in finding a publisher for his book in America. Later, he sailed to England, and there, he found great acceptance of his work. Audubon captured the imaginations of the people of England and Scotland as an American woodsman in buckskin who was also a gifted artist.

The media were also enthralled: “Imagine a landscape wholly American, trees, flowers, grass, eventhecolorsoftheskyandthewaters,quickenedwithalifethat is real, peculiar, trans-Atlantic. On twigs, branches, bits of shore, copied by the brush with the strictest fidelity, sport the feathered races of the New World, in the size of life, each in it particular attitude, its individuality and peculiarities. Their plumages sparkle with nature’s own color; you can see them in motion or at rest, in their plays and their combats, in their fits of anger and their caresses, singing, running, asleep, just awakened, beating the air, skimming the waves, or rending one another in their battles. It is a real and palpable vision of the New World, with its atmosphere,itsimposingvegetation, and its tribes whichknownottheyokeofman.”3

Audubon earned enough moneyfromdisplayinghiswork to publish the double elephantfolioofBirds of America.-----------1The term “double-elephant folio” refers to two sheets of paper measuring 40 x 27 inches. Audubon chose this mammoth size so all the birds could be depicted life-size.2John James Audubon Center at Mill Grove, http://johnjames.audubon.org. 3 Rhodes, Richard, John James Audubon: The Making of an American, AlfredAKnopf, New York, 2004, p. 279.

John James Audubon’s Birds of America originally sold for $1,000 in the 1800s—the drawings were huge so the birds could be depicted life size. Audubon later reduced the size and increased the number of prints to produce a smaller version of the book at a more reasonable $100,

which was still incredibly expensive in the 1840s. On the cover is Audubon’ painting, Iceland or

Peregrine Falcons.

Philadelphia as a teenager and shortly thereafter completed his formal education at Akiba Hebrew Academy. A period of Bohemian wanderings ensued. While others followed utopian or mystical visions, David found himself drawn forward by the more familiar mysteries of the printed page. The mysteries of one book led to another, and then another. What they revealed to David was not merely the light of his inner self or the greater knowledge of the external world, but also the quotidian complexities of the book trade. Labor as an apprentice in the service of experienced booksellers as well as private and institutional libraries followed. The central role played in the Philadelphia book trade by the auction rooms at Freeman’s soon became apparent and began to exercise its fascination on Mr. Bloom. Awarded with the title of Vice President in 2003, David has been the head of Freeman’s Books, Maps & Manuscripts Department for over 20 years.

Scrapping up the Past: A View of the 19th Century through CraftJessica Munday-McGee

The amount of news and pictures being printed and distributed in the 19th century led to a great breadth and depth ofcollectingacrosseconomicclasses,professions,localitiesand beliefs. The discovery of lithography and the invention ofthesteam-drivenprintingpresscoupledwithawideavailability of paper propelled the forthcoming obsession with news and pictures. In an effort to stay informed on scientific advances, neighborhood gossip, emerging trends and the latest news from other countries, excessive attention was paid to printsandclippingsofallsorts.Evenadvertisementsweresavedandusedlaterasdecorationsinthehomeoraddedtoascrapbook with other similar clippings. The most successful marketers caught on quickly to the collection craze and produced trading cards that urged buyers to collect every card intheset. One of the proudest ways for a family to display their collection was on a folding screen. Scrap screens are intriguing as they reflect volumes of the most divergent tastes and interests of the time. Pictures used on screens often depicted the lifestyles of high class society. This reveals a romantic notionthatappealedtothoseoflesserwealthlivinginadifferent class. While at the Scott Antiques Markets in Atlanta, Ga., I was fortunate enough to come across a few prime examples of screen decorating from the 19th century. Upon initial examination, the first screen I photographed merely seemed to reflect the code of dress that was then so popular. However, upon closer inspection and some research, I came to find that a few of the prints were actually of the famousandthereveredeliteduringthelatterpartofthecentury. For instance, British explorer Sir Henry Morton Stanley earned himself top space in a collage of other prominent figures. Stanley was a Welsh-born American that served on both sides in the American Civil War. Eventually, he worked for the New York HeraldwhichcommissionedhimtosearchfortheAfrican Congo explorer David Livingstone after he had not been heard from for some time. Stanley found Livingstone and issaidtohavegreetedhimwiththenowfamousquotation,“Mister Livingstone, I presume?” Upon Livingstone’s death, Stanley continued in his footsteps exploring the Congo region. Unfortunately for the Congolese, Stanley also sought King Leopold II of Belgium for assistance in developing the region. King Leopold II was more than willing. Eventually, Leopold’s greed for ivory and rubber led to the slave labor and genocide of the native inhabitants. The cut-out to the lower right of Sir Henry Morton Stanley is, of my strong opinion, believed to be that of King Leopold II. It should be noted that Sir Henry Morton Stanley was indeed againstslavetrade. Another interesting screen encountered at the Scott Antique Markets displayed the Conway Castle of Wales. Conway Castle was built along with several other castles during the reign of Edward I in an effort to extinguish Welsh uprisings. The castle was completed in 1287. In the early 15thcentury, the Welsh finally captured it and held it for a very short occupation. It was inhabited again during the English Civil War but soon afterwards fell to negligence. The construction of nearby railroads and bridges led to increasedinterestofthecastleduringthe19thcenturywhenitattractedartistsandothervisitorsthatencouragedcareand

reconstruction. Today, it is a popular attraction open to host events as well as for public tour. On this same screen is a scene titled, The Widow’s Mite. As the biblical tale is told, Jesus watches one day as the wealthy citizens casually throw their large contributions into the temple treasury; yet, a very poor widow comes along and only puts in two small copper coins, not much at all. Jesus explains to his disciples that the widow has put in the most. Where the rich gave from their great wealth, the widow gave all that she had. The donation of the rich was proportionately lessincomparison. Ephemeraismarginalcomparedtoothermoreimperativepaper sources like rare books, diaries, documents and letters; however,theychroniclejustasmuchcriticalinformationconcerningthetimeinwhichtheywerecreated.Althoughsuch screens are relatively rare, I am told they are seen often at the Scott Antique Markets. These two screens provided a windowintothe19thcentury,regardlesshowcloudythepanesof history had become over time. Nevertheless, it is still important to heed caution when making assumptions about 19th century social values and norms through the prints collected. As explained by Bryan F. Le Beau in Art in the Parlor, some prints “…did not necessarily picture America as it existed, but rather as it was imagined—how their patrons imagined it to be or to have been, or wanted it to be.” It is, however, pertinent to look upon such ephemera as a highly valuable source for the study of social history. In many cases, pictures can confirm events or compliment written accounts. Prints, scraps and clippings are both a cultural artifact and a research tool for new scholarship. ----------

Sir Henry Morton Stanley crowns this particular collection of prominent figures from the latter part of the century.

29When you go, tell them, "I saw your ad in Southeastern Antiquing Magazine."

Hello John, I’m attaching photos of a knapsack pipe that I believe is from the Civil War Era. It is a pipe case with the pipe bowl and stem nestled inside. The pipe can be fi lled with tobacco plug when closed and cut off with the serrated knife lever on top. On the front of the silver case, there is a hunting engraving on the left and a Civil War campsite on the right. There is a nice label inside reading, “The Ridgewood Smoking Tobacco Company, manufactured by the Ridgewood Mfg. Co. Patented May 20th 1862.” Also, “The Ridgewood Patent Pipe Tobacco case offi ce 420 Broadway, N.Y. Patented May 20, 1862” is stamped on the match holder inside. It is 3 1/2 inches wide x 2 1/8 high x 1 3/8 deep. I’m interested in learning something of this pipe’s historical and monetary value.

JS: The most common items directly related to Civil War soldiers are their letters; many thousands are preserved in archives, libraries and family homes. One of the most common items mentioned in these letters is tobacco; it is a recurrent theme. Tobacco was prized by almost every soldier and offi cer as almost every soldier used tobacco, with few mentions ill of this addictive agent. In an era before cigarettes, pipes were the main system of administrating the nicotine to the user. Tobacco could be measured precisely so little was wasted in a pipe, and many pipes like the patented one here had a lid to keep the fi re out when not being drawn on so as to waste little of this precious commodity. Cigars were wasteful and for the rich and the generals. In the fi eld, tobacco was traded from Rebel to Yankee and vice versa. Pipes of all sorts were used; inexpensive clay pipes with integral stems were made in mass in Europe and imported to America for many years. Several pipe bowl makers in the U.S. mass produced inexpensive, glazed ceramic bowls in many fanciful shapes as noted in numerous excavated examples including: an eagle claw holding a bowl; Indian heads; soldier’s heads with various faces; emulations of famous generals; President Lincoln and many others. There was a large factory making such pipe bowls at Point Pleasant, Ohio. At least 150 different designs are noted in this manufactory alone. The common soldier’s only means of transporting gear from camp to camp was his knapsack. Offi cer’s had their gear in trunks carried by wagon. This convenient, patented, case-held pipe, matches and tobacco were all the smoking tools needed in an attractive luxurious package that no doubt would have been the envy of fellow fi ghting men, and it would fi t nicely in his knapsack.

Your Ridgewood patented pipe and case are known in excavated examples, I believe. Along with simple clay pipes that sold for only a few cents each, patented fancy “modern” pipes from several manufacturers found the soldier’s market. You will read here a testimonial from Union General Ambrose Burnside telling of the advantages of this Ridgeway New York patented pipe and case. This ad was published in 1864 in Harper’s which was a popular periodical of the era; note that your pipe case which is “richly plated and engraved” sold for $5.00, a princely sum when simple clay pipes could be bought for 10 cents. Since a common enlisted soldier was only making $13 per month, these pipes are quite scarce. I can fi nd few sales of Ridgewood pipe cases in auctions, but the few that show up are only for the cases, and they sold for under $100. Your complete Civil War pipe and case should sell for at least $200-$400 in the Civil War trade in my opinion.

Poor Jim's Almanac of Auctions


By Mike McLeod and Deborah Abernethy

$301 (18 bids): Large Rare Guerin 1886 Photograph Black Americana Star Guitar Minstrel.I realize this large 19thcentury photograph has some problems, includingtoningtotheoutsidecornersandaserioustearthattravelsupandthroughthesecondmusicianontheright.There also are a couple of smaller tears in the lower left-hand corner. Normally, I would not list a photograph with such damage; however, this is a very rare black Americana photograph. I was not able to find one other example anywhere on the internet. Signed in the lower right-hand corner, “Old Kentuck, Copyright by T. W. Guerin, 1886.” Fitz W. Guerin (1846-1903) was a St. Louis photographer and Medal of Honor winner during the Civil War. He was a portrait photographer, especially of children, but he also took gentlemanphotographsofnudes. This large 17.5-inch by 24-inch photograph depicts five black gentlemen in the middle of a song. You can almost hear themplaying,andthegentlemeninthecenterissingingatthetop of his lungs. He is wearing medals on his vest and holding a small strange horn with an attached bell. There is another unusual instrument in this photograph. Check out the star-

shapedguitarofthesecondgentlemenon the right. Wouldn’t you love to find that guitar in an attic somewhere? Even with the damage, this large 1886 photographisquiteimpressive.Yourarely find early photographs depicting people moving or singing. (Photo: eBay seller wwolst12.)

DBA: There are several collectible areas to explore here. Black memorabilia is a hot area of collection, but photographs are also very collectible. Fitz W. Guerin wasagiftedphotographer,andmanyof

his works were very carefully staged and executed rather than “snapped.” I found a small photograph of a child by Fitz W. Guerin that sold for $650. If this photograph had been in better condition,itwouldhavesoldforfarmore. Guerin was known for his photographs of children and society people. He made quite a bit of money also for his nude photography. Although not noted for black photography, this area is so collectible, I feel that a collector would want this as muchashischildrenorsocietyphotos.

$17,778 (23 bids): 1891 Brooks Backstrike Typewriter.This may be the rarest of the 1890s short-lived backstrike

typeswhichincludedtheFitch, Waverly, North and the Brooks. I have only seen oneotherBrooksatauction.This one is in good working condition with age wear. It looks to be complete and works pretty smoothly. Its ribbon is dry. Overall, this is reallyagreatopportunityandcertainlyonefortheseriouscollector. (Photo: eBay seller gypsiegirlz.)

DBA: This is a very early example of a typewriter. A backstrike typewriter has type bars in the rear which makes a problem of where to store the paper. There are only four companies that produced this style of typewriter: North, Waverly, Brooks and Fitch. Although this

fellow Texan Michael Murphy of “Wild Fire” fame. There also is a light word written under the Omnibus logo, but I cannot make out what it says; thought it might be the drummer Bill Sleeper, but it doesn’t look like it. Details: This is a really cool and collectible piece I acquired from an elderly Texan collector that recently passed away. It is a true gem for a Monkees’ collector as Mike Nesmith (as he was called then) was pre-Monkees in 1963 and on his 2nd single. The music is very “Byrds-y” in my opinion. Apparently, a Nesmith signature is not the easiest to acquire. (Photo: eBay seller 2gnarly4u.)

DBA: The Monkees were not formed

before the television show of that name in 1965. Michael Nesmith recorded music under the name Michael Blessing and Mike & John & Bill, so some items will not be recognized as being by Mike Nesmith. By 1970, the television show and group were no longer active. He has participatedinseveralventureswiththe Monkees in later years. I did find several Monkees albums signed by all four original Monkees selling for $599 and $799.

There's an old saying about St. Petersburg, Fla.; People who live there love it; businesses that located there stay; and visitors who go there to shop and play want to come back again and again. How true! St. Petersburg and Pinellas Coun-ty offer an unequaled environment for work and play. Wonderful weather and miles of sandy beaches make it a magnet for people worldwide.

St. Petersburg's two strongest selling points are sunshine and shopping. The former can be enjoyed virtually year-round; the latter comes in the form of malls, factory outlet stores, discount chains, specialty shops, membership warehouses, and —oh, yes— a cavalcade of wonderful antiques and collectibles stores. The advertisers on this page offer a taste of what we mean.

Getting to St. Petersburg isn't hard to do. The city's major thoroughfare is I-275, which runs north and south and connects to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and Man-atee County (another mecca for shoppers on the antique trail). I-275 also connects with 1-4 going east to Orlando from Tampa and I-75 heading north. U.S. 19 is an important north-south link that runs the length of the county.

A visit to St. Petersburg will leave you wanting more, no matter how long you stay. And it's easy to fan out and explore. Tampa — a city with it's own identity, cultural pulse and antiques and collectibles shops—is right next door. And Orlando, with its many theme parks, is a short drive away. Don't you think it's time to visit, vacation and shop in St. Petersburg? It's truly the Jewel of Florida's Gulf Coast!

Wondering about the value of a Civil War OVI token, 66th regiment.JT Strong was the sutler; Koethler the maker. Good for 10 cents. Small hole for safe keeping string. I know this token is rare (R9), but unknown on the value.JS: Civil War sutler tokens are scarce and highly collected by a core of aficionados who compete in auction for rare and desirable examples in the best condition. Sutlers were civilian agents selling wares in Civil War camps often at very high prices. They typically sold tobacco, booze and food items whichweresometimesscarceincamp.

Tokens were made by several manufacturers of other coinage substitutes, such as store cards and patriotic tokens. There are many different tokens of different rarities, and yours with a rarity of 9 means only two or three are known to exist. Youhavedoneyourhomeworkandfoundthepertinentdataonthis example. The 66th Ohio was a 12th Army Corp unit originally in the eastern theater—later the 20th Corp through the Atlanta campaign—and had a good fighting history. The 66th had four Medal of Honor winners at the Battle of Chancellorsville. They lost a total of 245 men in the war, mostly to disease (143). The “bible” of this collecting genre is Schenkman’s Civil War Tokens where the rarity of your token is cited as “9”. It is interesting that the example of your token in the book was recently sold by Steve Hayden Auction, August 31, 2013 for $2,000, but that example was graded EF (extremely fine). Common tokens sell for less than $100, and rare examples can bring over $5,000. Rare examples in poor condition bring a fractionofthoseinhighcondition.


I would value your holed example, which would probably be graded very fine if not hole punched, at 30%-60%, so the potential price would be $600-$1,200 in my opinion. Auction is generally the best way to sell such items for the best results; maybe even on eBay it might fare well.

I am writing to obtain some information about an antique projectile currently in the possession of my uncle. We have no information about the piece, except that we think it could be a memento brought home by one of our ancestors from either the American Civil War or the Spanish-American War. It is about six and one-half inches in length. We do know that my 2nd great-grandfather, Allen Walker Hamilton (07 November 1881 in Wheeling, Ohio County, West Virginia/16 March 1943 in Cadiz, Cadiz Township, Harrison County, Ohio), attended an all-male military academy in Wheeling, West Virginia, called The Linsly Institute (now The Linsly School) from a young age and that he was of age to serve in the Spanish-American War of 1898. We have not, however,locatedanymilitaryrecordsforhim. Allen Walker Hamilton’s father Charles Perry Hamilton served for eight months during the Civil War as an ambulance driver for Colonel Boyden, who had charge of the hospital corps under General Sheridan, and was possibly a drummer boy in a Union regiment out of Wheeling, West Virginia. My 3rd great-grandfather, Allen Walker Hamilton’s father-in-law, George Washington Clark[e], Sr. served as a private in Captain John Carlin’s Battery “D” First West Virginia Light

A rare sutler token valued at $600-$1,200. “OVI” on the token stands for “Ohio Volunteer Infantry,” and “66” represents the 66th Regiment.

Artillery Volunteers out of Wheeling, West Virginia. The projectile,alongwithseveralotheritems,werefoundinatrunk belonging to my 2nd great-grandmother, Allen Walker Hamilton’s wife and George Washington Clark[e], Sr.’s daughter. We are curious as to whether our projectile can be identified, and whether it is from the American Civil War or the Spanish-American War. Could it have been used in a weapon such as the 6-pounder, M1841 or the Light 12-pounder, M1857?

JS: Your projectile is a three-inch in diameter Hotchkiss percussion shell made for the standard Union Civil War light artillery rifled Parrott or Ordnance rifles. Both were highly accurate, and both were part of Battery D of Peter Carlin’s 1st WV Light Artillery. There is an active group who reenact this fighting unit today. The photograph shown here (by T. J. Powell) on the Carlin’s battery website shows accurately a Civil War gun crew which your ancestry George Washington Clark would have been part. The cannon in the photo is a three-inch Parrott rifle, the type of gun that fired your projectile. Your projectile appears with lots of patina and probably a souvenir of some

action. It is missing the lead driving band and percussion fuse.

This projectile came in three varieties: timed fuse, percussion and bolts. We know yours is percussioneventhoughmissingthe fuse as there are no flame grooveswhichwererequiredwhen time fuses were lit by muzzle fire. Percussion shells exploded upon impact.

It’s too bad we don’t know wherethissouvenirwascollected. Carlin’s Battery

had a colorful record in the war, and a 2005 unit history was privately published by Linda Fluharty & Edward Phillips calledCarlins Wheeling Battery, A History of Battery “D” 1st West Virginia Light Artillery. The 1st West Virginia Light Artillery regiment lost 33 men who were killed or died of wounds; 131 men died of disease, accident or in prison. Total deaths were 164 men (from all 8 batteries). Prices on non-excavated projectiles, such as this, can be found at Civil War shows for about $300.

Name This Famous Antique by Mike McLeod American Gothic by Grant Wood isaniconicworkofartakintoothericonicpaintings,suchasCampbell Soup by Andy Warhol and the Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali depicting melted clocks. It was created for an art competition at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1930 when Wood was about 39 years old.

Grant Wood passed away at the age of 51 on Feb. 12, 1942 from pancreatic cancer. While he was a leader in the Regionalism style of art, he was not well accepted by art critics or highly successful during his lifetime. However, today, his work is held by more than 25 museums, educational institutions and the Smithsonian. More of his work can be seen in the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art and online at www.crma.org. His Corn Cob Chandelier for Iowa Corn Room is not to be missed.

around the world. Because of the daughter’s dour look in the painting and the severity of the father’s expression, many in the Midwest thought the painting was critical of them and their lifestyle. Others at that time saw this as a portrayal of strength in troubles times, particularly since the stock market had collapsed in 1929 and the country was in the Great Depression. There is truth in both opinions. His models’ long faces and unhappy expressions were in harmony with the Gothic theme of the painting and could be interpreted as strength or mockery. An interesting note: the pitchfork, which could be a symbol of honest labor or evil, is repeated on the bib of the father’s coveralls and upside down in the Gothic window of the house.2 Because his painting caused his sister to be heavily criticized, Wood painted a favorable, true-to-life portrait of her

Name This Famous PersonBy Mike McLeod

Jerry Vach of Atlanta, Ga., and Ted Carlton of Utah correctly identified John D. Rockefeller. In 2007, Peter W. Bernstein and Annalyn Swan published All the Money in the World,a book about the wealthiest Americanswhohaveeverlived. Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, who are numbers 1 and 2 on Forbes’ 2014 list of wealthiestAmericans,onlyranked 13 and 15 respectively in the book. Gates is the richestpersonintheworldtoday with $78 billion, but hiswealthisjustafractionof

what John D. Rockefeller amassed, when converted to today’s dollars. The list below is from All the Money in the Worldandreflects amounts in 2006 dollars:

1. John D. Rockefeller $305.3 billion2. Andrew Carnegie $281.2 billion3. Cornelius Vanderbilt $168.4 billion4. John Jacob Astor $110.1 billion

5. Stephen Girard $95.6 billion6. Richard Mellon $82.3 billion7. A.T. Stewart $80 billion8. Frederick Weyerhauser $72.2 billion9. Marshall Field $68.1 billion10. Sam Walton $58.6 billion11. Jay Gould $58.2 billion12. Henry Ford $54.3 billion13. Bill Gates $53 billion 14. Andrew Mellon $50.5 billion15. Warren Buffett $46 billion

John D. Rockefeller was born on July 8, 1839 to William Rockefeller and Eliza Davison in Richford, N.Y. William liked the freedom of the road, and he often left Eliza to tend to their children alone. He eventually left them permanently. Despite his father’s poor example, John was taught good


work ethics by his mother. He grew up to be a religious man, never drinking or smoking, but always tithing his income. With a head for numbers and brief business school training, John’s first job was as an assistant bookkeeper making 50 cents a day for a company that shipped produce andactedasamiddlemaninsales.1Afterafewyears,heanda partner started a competing business in the same field, and it prospered.

“Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.”

A defining moment came when Rockefeller and partners built an oil refinery in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1863. With the priceofwhaleoilrisingdramatically,kerosenemadefromoilwas found as a better alternative. Through the hard work and determination of John D. Rockefeller and his partners, this first refinery grew into the oil refining and distribution empire known as Standard Oil. Rockefeller has been described as ruthless when it came to competition, and he was vilified in the media for his business

practices. He often offered to buy competing oil companies, but if they refused, he undercut prices and drove them out of business. By the late 1880s, he controlled most of the oil production, distribution and sales in the United States. (This was before the invention of the automobile, of course, and before gas stations dotted the landscape.) Pres. Teddy Roosevelt spearheaded an effort to pass laws to break up monopolies, which is what happened to Standard Oil. This created most of today’s many oil companies. Ironically, this breakup caused Rockefeller’s net worth to jump by millions of dollars because he received stock in all of those companies. After Rockefeller retired in 1896, he focused on philanthropy. His donations helped create, support or elevate the University of Chicago, Spellman College in Atlanta (named after his wife Laura Spelman and her abolitionist parents), the Central Philippine University in the Philippines, the Rockefeller University for biomedical research (established in 1910), and Baptist colleges. The Rockefeller Foundation has promoted education,science,foodproduction,artandhealththroughouttheworld. Rockefeller’s philanthropy continued with his son John, Jr., who “…purchased land and donated money…to create or expand Acadia, Great Smoky Mountains, Grand Teton, Yosemite and Shenandoah National Parks.”2 John, Jr., was alsothemajorsponsoroftherestorationandreconstructionofColonial Williamsburg. John D. Rockefeller died of arteriosclerosis at the age of 97 on May 23, 1937.
