1DECORATED CHEST OF DRAWERS.Marked for Jeremiah Stahl, Soap Hollow, Somerset County, Pennsylvania, dated 1864, poplar. Of typical form with threebowed drawers over four graduated drawers, scrolled backsplash,and resting on turned feet. Retains its original painted decorationincluding stenciled birds and flowers on a red ground, the sidepanels initialed “SL” and dated “1864”. Imperfections. 53 1/2”h. 40 1/2”w. 20 1/4”d.

For a similarly decorated example, see Muller, Soap Hollow: TheFurniture and Its Makers, p. 40. The present example appears to bethe earliest dated piece of furniture signed by Stahl and may have,according to Muller, been made by Stahl while in partnership withPeter K. Thomas. The two men served together in the Civil War andthis chest was made between their tours of duty, during which time,according to an affidavit by Stahl, they worked together (see Muller,p. 41). $4,000-$6,000

2DECORATED BLANKET CHEST.Soap Hollow, Somerset County, Pennsylvania, dated1871, pine. Dovetailed box resting on bracket feet. Retains its original painted decoration, including stenciled flowers on a red ground. Initialed “JB” anddated “1871.” Imperfections. 21”h. 37 3/4”w. 19”d.

The present chest is nearly identical to the “DB/1872”chest illustrated in Muller, Soap Hollow: The Furnitureand Its Makers, p. 66. The wreath at center is similar tothe wreaths used by Jeremiah Stahl (see Muller, p. 40),thus he is a good candidate for the maker. Given thesimilar form and decoration and the same second initial, it would seem possible that this chest and thechest in Muller are from the same family. $2,000-$4,000

2APORTRAITS OF JOHN AND CAROLINE BROKAW BYROBERT SEEVERS (OHIO, BORN 1807).Pencil on paper, Caroline is signed on verso and dated August15, 1831.

In 1827 he married Caroline Bush and the coupleset their sights on Ohio once again. They settled in or nearSmithfield, Jefferson County, in 1831, presumably where theseportraits were drawn. By mid century they had removed toMorrow County where they are listed in the 1850 and 1860Censuses. Caroline died about 1885 and John died in 1893;they are buried in Mount Gilead.

MILTON W. HOPKINS AND THE COLLINS FAMILY

The Connecticut-born artist Milton W. Hopkins (1789-1844) spent most ofhis life in Connecticut and New York. He began his career as a portraitist inearnest when he advertised himself as a portrait painter and instructor inAlbion, New York in 1833. In 1836, Hopkins packed up his wife and tenchildren and headed west to Ohio, settling in Clermont County. Though he never sold the Clermont County farm (he would die there in 1844), he would later set up a studio in Columbus (1840-1843) and then in Cincinnati (1843-1844). Based on identified portraits, Hopkins clearly traveled throughout the region for commissions.

Hopkins was a fervent anti-Mason and temperance advocate, and according to research by Jacquelyn Oak, it may have been his growingabolitionist sentiment that drove him to Ohio. She further postulates that itis through his anti-slavery efforts that Hopkins met fellow abolitionist andlawyer James Collins, Jr. while in Clermont County.

Collins (b. 1802 or 1803), a lawyer, married Angelina (apparently sometimes called Margaret) in 1830 and had four children. Documentingtheir location(s) is somewhat challenging, but Oak’s research places themin Clermont County during Hopkins’s residency, and later in Illinois (always as an active member of the abolition movement). As an attorney,

Collins may well have spent time in Columbus (perhaps visiting Hopkins inhis studio, which was very near the Ohio Statehouse). The 1850 Federal Census locates the Collins family in New Albany, Indiana, along the OhioRiver (and in their household was an African-American girl named AnneRobertson).

Hopkins painted portraits Mr. and Mrs. Collins and of their sons Alfred andJames in 1842. The portrait of the younger child was painted by anotherartist after Hopkins’s death. All of the present portraits remained togetherand were “discovered” in a Missouri attic years ago. These portraits areamong the few identified examples from Hopkins’s Midwestern period, afact made more important because of the shared abolitionist efforts of bothartist and sitter. Additionally, the double portrait of James and Alfred is theonly known double portrait by Hopkins. In short, this family group of portraits should be considered among the most significant Midwestern portraits of the 1840s period.

Although the specific location of this view remains unknown, it is very likelya southwestern Ohio scene. Two identified artists have painted this samescene and both have connections to that region. In the 1860s, Robert ScottDuncanson (1821-1872) painted this view adding a couple of figures (seeCowan’s, October 2008, lot 25); and in the 1870s, E.A.

44RARE AND IMPORTANT MAP OF THE WESTERN RESERVE.Map Of The Western Reserve Including the Fire Lands In Ohio. Engraving on wove paperwith watercolor decoration. Engraved by William Savery, Pittsburgh, published by WilliamSumner, Nelson, Portage County, Ohio, September 1826, first edition. Mounted on linen,with original hangers, and embellished with watercolor flowers and vignettes. 34 1/2”h.27”w. (excluding hangers). Ex Bill Samaha (Ohio/Massachusetts).

The Savery-Sumner map is one of the earliest locally printed maps of the Western Reserve.The map, itself, is extremely scarce, but the present example, with its watercolor decoration,is seemingly unprecedented.

It is most likely that this map was originally used in an academy. The map was mounted tolinen, comprising only about one-third of the space between the hangers. The remainingarea was then pieced together from nine watercolor drawings, presumably by one or more of the students, including two strips of flowers, two sprays of flowers, a basket of strawberries, a shepherdess, Queen Elizabeth, a tableau (the figures are labeled Peace,Plenty, Justice, Liberty, Religion, and Hope), and a landscape that is labeled “Lady of theWoods” and may be a romanticized view of the Lake Erie shoreline.

The combination of watercolor decoration with a New England “flavor” and a map of theWestern Reserve make this object an exceptional artifact of the settlement of northeasternOhio by Connecticut émigrés and the transmission of culture and style from east to west.

In volume 3 of The Thomas Winthrop Streeter Collection of Americana, Ernest J, Wessen(noted proprietor of Midland Rare Book Company in Mansfield, Ohio) opined that this mapwas “the finest map by an Ohio engraver and pioneer printer” (Streeter entries 1364 and1371). This decorated map is illustrated and discussed in Studebaker, Ohio Is My DwellingPlace: Schoolgirl Embroideries 1800-1850, p. 204. $30,000-$50,000
