Dennis Lyall (B. 1946) "Peace Flag": Dennis Lyall (American, B. 1946) "Peace Flag" Signed lower middle. Original Oil painting on Canvas board. . . Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. . This painting is the original painting which was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U. S. 33c Peace Flag Classic Collection Series stamp issued June 14, 2000. . . In the decades following the Civil War, the Peace Flag was created to symbolize America's dedication to world peace. One of the first steps in promoting this lofty goal began in 1899, at The Hague, a scenic city in the Netherlands. The Hague Court held its first international peace conference where representatives met to settle international quarrels and prevent war. The purpose of this conference was to codify international law by providing official procedures in mediation, inquiry and arbitration. In addition, delegates hoped to establish statutes to peacefully solve international disputes and promote disarmament. The United States was represented by Ambassador Andrew D. White, former president of Cornell University; Seth Low, president of Columbia University; Stanford Newell, minister to the Netherlands; Captain William Crozier of the U. S. Army; Captain T. Mahan of the U. S. Navy, and GREW. Holls, a member of the New York bar. Although the conference failed to reach agreement on disarmament, it did establish conventions concerning the pacific settlement of international disputes, the rules of land warfare, and the application to naval war of the principles of the Geneva Convention of 1864. . .

c. 1790-1800 Historical Liverpool Creamware Pitcher American Patriotic Transfers: Glass and Porcelain. c. 1790 Patriotic "Peace Plenty and Independence" also "May Commerce flourish" and "Hope" Liverpool Pitcher. c. 1790-1800 Federal Period, Historical Liverpool Creamware Pitcher with American Patriotic Theme Vignette Transfers: "Peace Plenty and Independence" also, "May Commerce flourish" and "Hope", Produced in England, Choice Extremely Fine. This larger size historical Liverpool Pitcher is beautiful in its design and outstanding high quality. It measures about 9. 75" tall x 5. 5" at its base and has four large deep vivid black transfers. The first transfer is titled: "May COMMERCE flourish" and shows the female figure of Lady Liberty "Commerce" seated on rocks holding a Pole with a Liberty Cap and Shield. Sun rays burst from behind her head and ship in distance, surrounded by a floral border, a transfer design not listed in the Arman reference. The other side shows: "PEACE. PLENTY and INDEPENDENCE". That transfer displays the figures Peace and Plenty, an Heraldic American Eagle is perched atop a cannon with an early American Flag behind, similar to "P. 14" on page 147 of David Arman reference book, "Anglo-American Ceramics" Part 1 (1998). The third transfer, located under the spout, is titled: "HOPE" and shows the female figure standing on the ocean's shore holding onto a large anchor with a ship sailing in the background, (not listed in Arman). Lastly, displayed under the handle is a simple decorative floral transfer. No doubt rare, as it is the very first of this design combination we have seen and offered. This is an outstanding example as it shows trivial minimal wear, has no cracks or detractions and is literally perfect for being placed on display. This antique, very early 19th century, Liverpool Pottery Pitcher has three transfer images. On one side reads, "Peace Plenty Independence" with an early Heraldic American Eagle, Flag and other objects. Underneath the spout is a classical Woman holding a ships Anchor, and a banner that reads "hope". This is the symbol for the State of Rhode island. The other side of the pitcher depicts Lady Liberty sitting holding a shield, there is an anchor at her feet as well as a ship in the distance.

1735 THOMAS PENN SR Signed Manuscript Document Inventory List of Items Purchased: Colonial America. 1735 Thomas Penn, Sr. as Lord Proprietor of Pennsylvania Signed Handwritten Inventory Listing of Items Purchased. THOMAS PENN (1702-1775). Lord Proprietor of Pennsylvania (1, a Son of William Penn the Founder of the Province of Pennsylvania. Thomas Penn inherited the position of Proprietor of the Colony of Pennsylvania for the Crown of England in 1718 along with his brothers John and Richard, on the death of their father William Penn, until 1746 when John died. Thomas continued as the Proprietor with Richard's son, John, and with his own son John Penn until 1775. August 23, 1735-Dated, Manuscript Document Signed, "Tho(mas) Penn, " (Son of William Penn), being a Handwritten Inventory Listing of Items purchased, measuring about 12. 5" tall x 4. 5" wide, 2 pages (1 sheet written front and back), Very Fine. This original Handwritten inventory list of Thomas Penn (1702-1775) is detailing various items purchased from merchant Joseph Burleigh, during the months of May-August 1735 for a total sum of amounting to 13 Pounds, Two Shillings and Ten Pence. Signed by Thomas Penn along the open margin side on front writing, "James Steele - Pay this Bill of the earliest (?) - (Signed) Tho. Penn". Also, Signed by Burleigh in receipt. Light wear with some ink erosion causing a small piece to be missing to the bottom edge at the final calculation. Some archival fiber tape reinforcement to one fold split and prior mounting traces at the reverse side top edge. Overall, boldly written in rich deep brown ink which is easily readable, nicely signed by Thomas Penn and boldly dated in several locations as being the year 1735. Thomas Penn Sr. (1702-1775), inherited the position of Proprietor of the Colony of Pennsylvania for the Crown of England in 1718 along with his brothers John and Richard on the death of their father William Penn, until 1746 when John died. Thomas continued as the Proprietor with Richard's son, John, and his own son John Penn until 1775. He tried to bring his family out of the debt that had plagued his father. He asserted his independence from the Quakers, and tried to assert his control of the colony almost as a feudal lord. . On May 12, 1732 Thomas with his brothers John and Richard, as the proprietors of Pennsylvania, signed an order to create a commission. This order was directed to Governor Gordon, Isaac Norris, Samuel Preston, James Logan, and Andrew Hamilton, Esquires, and to the gentlemen James Steel and Robert Charles. . The commission, which was to be made up of at least three or more of these individuals, was given full power on behalf of the proprietors for the "running, marking, and laying out" of any boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland. This was in accordance to the agreement signed between the Penn brothers and Charles Calvert, 5th Baron Baltimore on May 10, 1732. . Penn arrived in Pennsylvania in August, 1732, and organized the purchase of some of the lands at the outskirts of the Pennsylvania colony. He met with some of the local Indian chiefs and tried to keep the peace as immigrants poured into the countryside north and west of Philadelphia on the Susquehanna, Schuylkill, and Delaware Rivers. . Many of the Indians did not want to sell their land, and had not heard of William Penn's 1686 treaty. Finally in 1737 Acting Governor James Logan convinced several Indian Chiefs to confirm the 1686 deed, which gave the Penns the land west of the Delaware River to the extent that a man could walk in a day and a half. . Logan hired several men to walk the measure, but they walked west at a very fast pace and the Indians felt cheated. Logan and the Penn sons including Thomas were later criticized by some for this "Walking Purchase" and their questionable treatment of the Indians. Part of the difficulty lay in the conflict with the French who laid claim on the back country west of Pennsylvania and the ensuing hostilities of King George's War (1744-1748) and the French and Indian War (1754-1763). . Thomas Penn lobbied against Quaker efforts to make peace with the Iroquois and Algonquian tribes some of whom were allied with the French. The proprietor Penn brothers sold much of their western lands to European settlers, who did not know of the controversy and as a result, may have become resentful of the proprietors. . Penn tried to stop the introduction of Roman Catholicism in the colony. In 1733 a Catholic chapel was built in Philadelphia, and in 1734 Penn attempted to suppress the movement, but the Quaker-led legislative assembly protected the rights of Catholics to worship and build churches. . Penn visited the countryside of Pennsylvania to look for sites to establish towns and county seats. He appointed surveyors for the colony and for the "Lower Counties" which became Delaware, including Joshua Fisher, a prominent merchant in Lewes at the mouth of Delaware Bay. . On one occasion in 1739, Penn visited the future site of Reading, Pennsylvania, where he found only one cabin. As Proprietor he realized the site would be good for the layout of a county seat because it sat in the Schuylkill River valley with hills nearby. Although he never returned to the site, the knowledge he gained on this visit was helpful later when he drew up the plan for Reading. He planned the street map and the water system, and helped surveyors and land agents with suggestions about the sale of lots, from which he stood to profit. Penn took the name from Reading, Berkshire, England and established the town in 1748, and on creation of Berks County in 1752, Reading became the county seat. . Penn returned to England and in 1751 joined the Church of England and married Lady Juliana Fermor, the daughter of Thomas Fermor, 1st Earl of Pomfret and Henrietta Louisa Jeffreys. He did not hold many of the beliefs of the Quakers who had come to Pennsylvania, and lived the life of an aristocrat who had taken from the poor, identifiably different from his Quaker father who had tried to purchase land fairly from the Indians and live a life of peace. . The politics of the colony were complex, with the Quaker population declining and the legislature increasingly at odds with its proprietor. In 1756, Penn attempted to remove the Quakers from power in the colony by having a petition granted by Parliament that would require an oath of loyalty in all colonial legislative assemblies. Because the Quakers never took oaths, they would be banned from power. The attempt failed and the colonial Quakers remained free of any oaths to Parliament. . Penn sent his nephew John Penn to govern the colony in 1763. The new governor faced many problems: Pontiac's Rebellion, disputes over the Penn family lands and taxation, and efforts of Pennsylvanians led by Benjamin Franklin to have the Penn proprietary government replaced with a royal government. . Thomas Penn died in England on March 21, 1775 (aged 73), soon before the American Revolution brought an end to the Penn family's control of Pennsylvania.

1850 Millard Fillmore Indian Peace Medal 76mm Julian IP-30 Bronze: Indian Peace Medals. Largest Size "Millard Fillmore" Bronze Indian Peace Medal. 1850-Dated. Millard Fillmore Indian Peace Medal. 76mm. First & Largest Size. Struck in Bronze. Julian IP-30. Belden-46. Choice About Uncirculated. Julian IP-30. 76mm. This is a very handsome example of the Largest Size, official 1850 dated Millard Fillmore Indian Peace Medal. It was struck for the United States, using an Obverse die by Salathiel Ellis and a Reverse die by Joseph Willson. These dies themselves were not produced in the US Mint, but rather were prepared by Willson under contract. Willson retained the dies until 1855, when the obverse die was secured directly by the mint. Apparently the mint produced a replacement die for the reverse, as Willson kept the reverse die to fill future orders. The obverse features a bust right of Fillmore; the reverse shows a white man conversing with an Indian chief in front of an American Flag, with a plow and axe between them. A similar example of this medal sold for $1, 062 in our August 2006 sale, Lot 1103. This current medal has choice correct natural medium brown color, glossy smooth surfaces with scattered trivial contact ticks and faint cabinet friction on Fillmore's hair. A very nice example for display.

TOM LYDON (B. 1944) "PEACE PROTECTING" ORIGINALTom Lydon (American, B. 1944) "Peace Protecting Genius Sculpture" Signed lower left. Original Mixed Media painting on Illustration Board.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This painting is the original painting which was published on the Fleetwood First Day of Issue Maximum Card for the U.S. 19c Official Mail stamp issued May 24, 1991.
The year was 1791 and the United States was only a few years old when French engineer Pierre-Charles L'Enfant completed his layout plans for the capital city of the young nation. L'Enfant was a visionary with a strong bent for Baroque landscape architecture; even then he planned for a capital city based upon fifty states and 500,000,000 citizens. The central point of his elaborate plan was the U.S. Capitol Building. The building was designed so that it had a broad vista down a long expanse of park known as The Mall. Although many of L'Enfant's original designs were not incorporated into the Washington, D.C. of today, the city is among the most beautiful in the world and the U.S. Capitol is still its central point. The building is an emblem of democracy and a work of art in its own right. A fine example is the Apotheosis of Democracy, a sculpture on the east front of the House Pediment. This artwork was based upon a portion of the colossal sculpture and depicts Peace Protecting Genius. Peace stands before an olive tree, her right arm symbolically protecting Genius, who rests at her feet and holds the torch of Immortality. Carved from Georgia White marble, the sculpture was completed in 1916 by Paul Wayland Bartlett to adorn the great building of democracy.

1789 George Washington Indian Peace Medal - Bronze: This is an original authentic George Washington Indian Peace Medal dated 1789 and struck in circa 1904 to 1910. The piece was struck in bronze at the U. S. Mint in a size of 76mm. The lot shows an original turn of the Century medal presentation collar with red center, embroidered metal thread stars and braided metal long fringed tassels. The presentation collar is accented by carved horn concho beads having trade bead and horse hair drops, these drops are thought to be a much more contemporary addition. These were made by the Mint when it became embarrassingly clear that there were no round Washington Indian Peace medals available to complete the entire set. The dies were cut early in the past century and the first striking was in silver and a bronze with the later striking being again in a bronze finish with lathe finishing lines on their edge. Provenance: From a large Native American artifacts and weapons collection in Paola, Kansas. Literature: The exact same strike Washington Peace Medal dated 1789 is shown on page 69; Plate 19; Figure 64 in the book, “Indian Peace Medals / Issued in the United States” by Bauman L. Belden and published by N. Flayderman & Co. Also mentioned along with an illustration in the book, “Indian Peace Medals in American History” by Francis Paul Prucha from the Oklahoma Press on page 138; figure 60. The medal used the bust of Washington from the Evacuation of Boston Medal designed by Jean-Simon Duvivier in 1786, with the standard inscription of the presidential medals, “GEORGE WASHINGTON PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES 1789”, and the early peace medals reverse with the clasped hands and the words, “PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP” along with a cross pipe tomahawk and peace pipe. The piece measures 76mm or approximately 3 inches. An example stuck in Bronze sold at the Early American History Auctions 8/29/2004 sale for $2, 000. The medal shows a dark patina, but has a fine strike area with smooth background and crisp details, as should be seen on an early example. The outside edge is void of any visible lathe marks, making this an original circa 1904-1910 striking. The entire ensemble measures 21”L x 12”W.

Condition: soiled, a bit wrinkled, a few edge tears.the confederate rejection of lincoln’s offer of peace at hampton roads.This small broadside includes resolutions of the 36th & 60th regiments and 45th battalion of Virginia Infantry (Smith's Brigade, Wharton's Division), following the Hampton Roads Conference the week prior. Lincoln’s demands at that 3 February 1865 conference aboard a ship near Fortress Monroe (attended by Lincoln, William Seward, Alexander Stephens, Robert Hunter and John Campbell), included full, voluntary abolition of slavery and a refusal to recognize that the Southern states had seceded from the Union. The text of this Confederate broadside begins: "Whereas, the arms of the Confederate States during the recent campaigns have sustained serious reverses, which have caused an undue despondency in some portions of our country, & created an unpatriotic doubt as to the final result of our struggle, and induced some to entertain the treasonable thought of making terms unworthy of freemen, with the enemy that seeks to destroy them: Therefore … do resolve …" [Five resolutions follow, including the re-assertion of the right of self government, a vow to continue to fight and the rejection of the peace terms] “… That whilst we will hail with joy that peace which brings to us the recognition of our independence … we cast from us with scorn the arrogant & insolent propositions recently made to our Commissioners by Abraham Lincoln …" Scarce.

Continental Congress Currency JONATHAN TRUMBULL, JR Signed Contractor Store Note: Autographs. 1782 Sutler Contractor's Store BEARER Script at George Washington's Revolutionary War Headquarters Note With John Trunbull Signature PMG Certified Choice Very Fine. JONATHAN TRUMBULL, JR. (1740-1809). General George Washington's Personal Secretary (1781-1783), American Revolutionary War Officer as Major, First Comptroller of the U. S. Treasury (1778-1779), later Comptroller of New York military payments to 1781 for the Continental Army at New York, Governor of Connecticut from 1797 until his death in 1809. December 1782-Dated Revolutionary War Period, Payable April 1, 1783 at New-Windsor (New York), Thirteen Shillings, Partially-Printed Private Merchant Note, PMG Certified Choice Very Fine-35. This historic note is in excellent condition being boldly Signed, "Jno Trumbull" and completed in bold deep brown ink, and partially-printed in black text upon fresh, clean laid period paper. An extremely rare Private Sutler Merchant note "Contractor's Store, New Windsor" For WADSWORTH and CARTER. This note was issued in 1782, during the Revolutionary War for payment and redemption into 1783. Their store was primarily used to supply the American Continental Army and their allied French Troops serving in America. Located at New Windsor, it proved to be the final Winter Encampment or "Cantonment" of the American Continental Army of the Revolutionary War under General George Washington, between June 1782 and October 1783. Very rare and lacking in most Autograph and Revolutionary War period paper money related collections. Bright, vivid with nice eye appeal being excellent for display. . Wadsworth and Carter (Firm), John Barker Church (1746-1818), and Jeremiah Wadsworth (1743-1804). Jeremiah Wadsworth served as the Commissary General of Purchases for both the State of Connecticut and later for George Washington's Continental Army. After leaving the Army himself, Wadsworth developed his partnership with Carter and provided stores to help supply the French Army in America for the Comte de Rochambeau's troops. It proved a lucrative partnership and business. Later, Jeremiah Wadsworth would become a leading stockholder in the formation of the Bank of North America and served for a year as the President of the Bank of New York. This exceedingly rare, JOSEPH TRUMBULL Signed privately issued "Bearer" Currency note is from that historic store. In the year after the American Continental Army's victory over the British at Yorktown, Virginia, in October 1781, General George Washington moved a large part of his army to New Windsor for winter quarters or a "cantonment. " Although the Siege of Yorktown had ended most hostilities the year before, the British still occupied New York City and other ports, and George Washington believed that there was still strong sentiment in Britain for restarting the war and taking the colonies back. . Thus, it was necessary to keep the army here, within striking distance of New York and next to the vital Hudson River, until all the British forces were withdrawn. On April 19, 1783, Washington issued a cease fire order, officially ending the war for the Army. . Here, some 7, 000 troops, accompanied by about 500 women and children, built log huts for shelter, drilled and kept ready for a possible spring campaign, if peace negotiations in France where not successful. By late December 1782, they had erected nearly 600 log huts. High-ranking officers, including Major General Horatio Gates, the commandant of the Cantonment, and Major General Henry Knox, Artillery Commander, were quartered in nearby private homes. Commanding General George Washington made his Headquarters in the Jonathan Hasbrouck house (now Washington's Headquarters State Historic Site), just six miles away in Newburgh. Then Colonel Jonathan Trumbull, Jr. was on George Washington's personal staff as his aide when then French Army under Rochambeau needed supply on their march through Connecticut on to Newport, Rhode Island. . Although the army was better housed, fed and clothed than any other time in the war, life at the Cantonment was still difficult. Peace negotiations in Paris progressed very slowly and there was concern that Congress still had not resolved issues relating to the army's back pay, pensions, and land bounties. Rumors of mutiny rumbled through the ranks and threatened to ruin the cause of independence. . At the same time, the army's grievances over long-promised pensions, land bounties and back pay threatened to erupt in rebellion. Fortunately, army discipline prevailed. Following the news of a provisional peace treaty, Washington issued cease-fire orders, effective April 19, 1783, bringing the eight year war to an end. These were still uncertain times, however, as the "Newburgh Conspiracy, " where Washington persuaded his officers not to march on the Continental Congress and demand back pay at gunpoint, would demonstrate. The army was peacefully furloughed home. Today, this state historic site preserves 120 acres of the original 1, 600-acre cantonment. In season, interpreters in period dress demonstrate military and camp life activities. . The firm of Wadsworth and Carter was the creation of Jeremiah Wadsworth and Colonel Carter. Carter was actually John Barker Church. They also served as Agents for the French Army during the Revolutionary War. . Governor Trumbull's son Jonathan Jr. (1740 - 1809), after whom some believe Trumbull Connecticut was named, also had a very illustrious career as an early American statesman. He was the first Comptroller of the U. S. Treasury from 1778 until 1779. Trumbull was made Comptroller of New York military payments into 1781. He then worked as a personal secretary on President Washington's staff from 1781 until 1783. . A member of the U. S. House of Representatives from 1789 until 1795, during which period from 1791 to 1793, he held the position of Speaker of the House. From 1795 until 1796, Jonathan Jr. represented Connecticut as a U. S. Senator. . From 1797 until his death in 1809, Jonathan Jr. was Connecticut's Governor, the same office that his father "Brother Jonathan" held from 1769 until 1784. . The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Research Library at Williamsburg, VA. Papers: Records 14 Wadsworth and Carter Receipts, 1782-1783. These bills and receipts of the firm of [Jeremiah] Wadsworth and [Col. ] Carter [alias of John Barker Church], additionally acted as American Supply Agents for the French Army. Documents relate to circumstances surrounding the Battle of Yorktown, October 1781, primarily concerning the return of wagons and teams of horses. Other receipts cover shoeing horses, traveling, recruiting army drivers, food grains, straw, wood, salt and labor costs. Mentioned specifically are Count de Rochambeau, Marquis de Lafayette, and the "Duke's [Lauzun] Legion" in Hampton [Va. ]. . Jeremiah Wadsworth (1743-1804) was born on July 12, 1743 in Hartford, Connecticut. His father was the Reverend Daniel Wadsworth, a pastor with the First Church of Christ, and his mother was Abigail Talcott, daughter of Connecticut governor Joseph Talcott. As a young man, he worked for ten years on the ships of his uncle Matthew Talcott, beginning at the age of eighteen as a common sailor and eventually becoming a captain. He married Mehitable Russell in 1767 and had three children, Daniel, Harriet, and Catherine. . . In April of 1775, Wadsworth was appointed Commissary to the American Revolutionary forces in Connecticut. He remained heavily involved with the American struggle for independence for the duration of the war. He became Deputy Commissary General of Purchases to the Continental Army in June of 1777 and rose to the rank of Commissary General in April of 1778. He served in this role until December of 1779, working to acquire all types of provisions for the Continental Army. . After resigning from the role of Commissary General, he became Commissary to the French Army and Navy serving in America as our military ally. He spent the remaining years of the war working to acquire supplies for the French forces and finally traveled to France at the conclusion of the war. . . After the war, Wadsworth continued to be very involved in the politics of his young nation. He attended Connecticut's State Convention for the ratification of the United States Constitution in 1788 and voted in favor of ratifying it. He was elected to Congress as a Federalist in 1787 and 1788, serving in 1788. In 1795 Wadsworth was elected to the Connecticut State Legislature and the Executive Council, and he continued to serve on the Executive Council until 1801. . . After the Revolutionary war, Wadsworth was also involved in a wide variety of business interests, many of which were based in Hartford. He was one of the founders of the Bank of North America, and also the Hartford Bank. He was an executive with the Bank of New York and United States Bank. . He was involved with some of the earliest manufacturing and insurance partnerships in Hartford. Wadsworth also did business as a merchant, was active in the shipping industry, and acquired a great deal of land in the Eastern part of the United States. He died in Hartford on April 30, 1804. .

The settlement he founded is the direct ancestor of the modern Australian state and has been viewed favourably by historians as a model of just and pragmatic governance.Exhibiting a fineness of detail made possible by the unique qualities of the Sydney Cove clay, the medallion is a superb embodiment of the ingenuity of one of 18th century Britain’s leading industrialists.The medallion was made at Wedgwood's Etruria factory in 1789. It was designed by Henry Webber and modelled by Wedgwood’s principal modeler, William Hackwood. It is moulded in bas-relief with a classical scene depicting Hope, encouraging Peace, Art and Labour, to work for the prosperity of the new young settlement. The original medallions range in colour from pale biscuit to a dark brown, almost black colour, as represented by the example being offered.In 1770 Captain James Cook discovered the Australian continent and claimed part of it for Britain. With the loss of British colonies in North America, the British were keen to expand their territories in other parts of the world and the government decided to found a settlement in Australia. In 1788 Captain Arthur Phillip became First Governor of the state of New South Wales, where he had been commissioned by George III to create a penal colony, as a way of dealing with the overcrowding in British prisons and prison ships. Eleven ships, carrying over a 1000 people, including 850 convicts and 200 officers, put down anchor at Sydney Cove on 26th Jan 1788. This is now known as ‘The First Fleet’. In November of that same year Captain Phillip wrote to Sir Joseph Banks, who was president of the Royal Society and had accompanied Captain Cook on his 1768 expedition, to inform him that he had found minerals and white clay in the area. He sent samples of these to Banks at the end of 1788. Banks directed the minerals to the relevant scientists, and he sent the clay directly to his friend and fellow Royal Society and Lunar Society member, Josiah Wedgwood, for him to investigate its potential for ceramic production. Wedgwood worked with the clay and was very pleased with its qualities. Two batches of medallions were produced from the clay sent back to Sir Joseph Banks. From the first batch of medallions Wedgwood sent an example to Banks and on 12th March 1790 Wedgwood wrote to him:“I have the pleasure of acquainting you, that the clay from Sydney Cove, which you did me the honour of submitting to my examination, is an excellent material for pottery, and may certainly be made the basis of a valuable manufacture for our infant colony there. Of the species of ware which may be produced from it, you will have some idea from the medallions I have sent for your inspection.” [1]Medallions from the first batch were to be sent to Sydney Cove, for the attention of Governor Phillip, on the ‘Second Fleet’ and they were to be distributed at his discretion. By November 1789, a second batch of medallions had been completed. Wedgwood’s friend, the physician and poet Erasmus Darwin, was the recipient of one. He wrote to Wedgwood:“I have received great pleasure from your excellent medallion of Hope. The figures are all finely beautiful and speak for themselves.” [2]In Nov 1789, an account of ‘The Voyage of Governor Phillip to Botany Bay’ was printed by the publisher John Stockdale. On the title page there is an engraving of the Sydney Cove Medallion and a description of it:“The elegant Vignette in the title-page was engraved from a medallion which the ingenious Mr Wedgewood caused to be modelled from a small piece of clay brought from Sydney Cove. The clay proves to be of a fine texture, and will be found very useful for the manufactory of earthenware. The design is allegorical; it represents Hope encouraging Art and Labour, under the influence of Peace, to pursue the employments necessary to give security and happiness to an infant settlement.” [3]It is unknown how many medallions of the original issue were produced. The whereabouts of 12 are currently known. [4] As the medallions would have taken considerable time and skill to make Richard Smith suggests in his Sydney Cove Medallion essay that:“Wedgwood would have made no more than was necessary for the publicity value. One for Erasmus Darwin; a few for Sir Joseph Banks as President of the Royal Society for his own distribution; perhaps fifteen or twenty for Governor Phillip’s distribution. The total production may have been somewhere around two dozen, probably no more.”Despite having carried out thousands of ceramic experiments over many years, it appears that Wedgwood was proud of creating the Sydney Cove medallion, producing a special issue to commemorate the settlement at Sydney Cove. These medallions record the start of a new chapter of colonial history as well as symbolising Wedgwood’s skill and technical innovation, which was at its height at this time. The medallions are fine and fragile in nature. Surviving examples are rare and are seldom seen on the market.[1] Robin Reilly, Wedgwood, published by Stockton Press, 1989, volume 1, p. 127[2] L.Richard Smith, The Sydney Cove Medallion, The Wedgwood Press, Sydney, Third Edition, 1987, p.6[3] From the Account of the Vignette in The Voyage of Governor Phillip to Botany Bay, printed for John Stockdale, Piccadilly, London, 1789, p.vi[4] The whereabouts of twelve original issue medallions is known at the time of writing. In addition to the medallion being offered for sale, three are in UK museums: one in the British Museum; one in the Lady Lever Art Gallery; one at the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent. Others are in Australian museums and institutions: five in the Mitchell State Library, New South Wales; one in the National Museum of Australia, Canberra; one with the Sydney Living Museums Corporation; one in the Silent World Foundation. In 2014 a medallion was offered for sale by an Australian antiques dealer and is now in private ownership.

8vo (249 x 200 mm). Single folded leaf. In January 1861, Gov. John Letcher convened a special session of the Virginia General Assembly, which passed an act calling for an election on February 4th to select delegates for the Virginia Convention. On January 19, 1861, the General Assembly passed a joint resolution inviting other states to a Peace Conference in Washington, D.C., appointing John Tyler, William C. Rives, John W. Brockenbrough, James A. Seddon and George W. Summers as commissioners representing Virginia. The Conference was the final attempt made by the individual states on the eve of the Civil War to preserve the Union. The resolution failed, and following the Virginia Convention which convened later in February, Virginia seceded from the Union. EXCEEDINGLY RARE.

SMITH, Matthew; and James GIBSON.Contemporary manuscript draft of the Paxton Boys “Remonstrance” to Governor John Penn. [Germantown or Philadelphia: c. 13 February 1764]. 4 pp., plus two additional blank leaves, folio (370 x 220 mm). Written in two different hands, the first half possibly that of Smith or Gibson, and the latter and signatures possibly in the hand of Benjamin Chew [see note to following lot]. Docketed on verso of the first terminal blank, “Smith & Gibson their Remonstrance / On behalf of the Frontier Inhabitants / 13:Feby 1764 / Copy.” Stitched together. Housed in a morocco-backed folding case. Condition: restoration repairing separations at the folds with only minimal losses, restitched.a primary document from the march of the paxton boys -- a revolutionary petition for equal representation and a declaration of natural rights.In December 1763, a group of men from the frontier town of Paxton Church, Pennsylvania, attacked and killed six peaceful Conestoga Indians, claiming they had assisted in the murder of other settlers. The remaining members of the tribe escaped and sought refuge from Governor John Penn. Housed in a workhouse at Lancaster, the Paxton Boys mob broke into the goal and slaughtered the rest -- an incident that became known as the Conestoga Massacre. Outraged that the government had denounced their actions and was protecting other Native Americans, the Paxton Boys, now numbering about 250, marched on Philadelphia, reaching Germantown on February 5. “Dressed in blanket coats and moccasins, they looked like Indian traders. They carried rifles, tomahawks and pistols … ‘uttered hideous outcries in imitation of the war whoop, knocked down peaceable citizens, and pretended to scalp them’” (Hindle). Met there two days later by Benjamin Franklin and others, a peaceful resolution was reached. “After several hours’ talk, the men from the West agreed to return home, and the Philadelphians promised to give speedy consideration to all grievances, if laid before the assembly and governor in proper form. With this end in view, two of the leaders of the expedition, Matthew Smith and James Gibson were selected to remain in Philadelphia to draw up a declaration of grievances” (Hindle).Smith and Gibson must have begun drafting their Remonstrance almost immediately [with the assistance of Benjamin Chew? see the proceeding lot]. The present manuscript appears to be a retained copy of their original draft, no doubt created at the time of the original.The petition to Governor Penn contains nine articles. The first, and arguably the most significant, demands an equal apportionment of representatives from the frontier counties in the Assembly, which was heavily dominated by the Philadelphia Quaker regions: “We apprehend that as Free Men & English subjects, we have an indisputable Title to the same Priveleges & Immunities with his Majesties other subjects … & therefore ought not to be excluded from an equal share with them in the very important Privelege of Legislation … this we humbly conceive is oppressive, unequal & unjust, the cause of many of our Grievances & an infringement of our natural privileges of freedom & Equality…”The second article objects to a Bill in the Assembly, introduced almost immediately after the murders, that called for a trial of the Paxton Boys to be held in Philadelphia, Chester or Bucks County: “This is manifestly to deprive British Subjects of their known Privileges, to cast an eternal reproach upon whole Counties as if they were unfitt to serve their Country in the quality of Jury Men, & to contradict the well known laws of the British Nation in a Point, whereon Life, Liberty &Security essentially depend…”The third article reveiws the hardships endured by the frontier settlers at the hands of the “most savage cruelty,” defends their actions against the Moravian Indians, arguing that they “were in confederacy with our open Enemies,” were “privy to their Murders and Ravages” and had only come peacefully to the settlers “to be maintained thro’ the Winter, that they may be able to scalp and butcher us in the Spring.” The article closes by calling for the expulsion from the Province of the Indians being protected in Philadelphia. The remaining articles concern the colonial Pennsylvania policies toward Native Americans, calling for a renewal of scalp payments, a cessation of Indian trade until captives are released, an increase of arms and men to Fort Augusta, and other demands. The text of this draft of the Remonstrance closely follows the printed version. A notable difference, however, appears in the preamble. The name William Brown appears in advance of Smith and Gibson, as the petitioners, but was subsequently crossed out. Another difference is the identification of an individual who is criticized in the eighth article (but unnamed in the printed version) as “I. P.” or Israel Pemberton.This document underscores the importance of the march of the Paxton Boys and its proto-Revolutionary arguments. “It became clear that a government operated in the interests of a sectional minority could not be maintained indefinitely in a land of growing democracy. That government endured a minor shock in the Paxton affair. The next severe shock of revolution was able to use lines already drawn and cracks already made. The march of the Paxton Boys paved the way for internal revolution” (Hindle). It is unclear for whom this true copy of the original draft was prepared, but it seems likely to have been retained by either Smith or Gibson, or perhaps Chew.an amazing relic of the paxton boys rebellion.Hindle, “The March of the Paxton Boys” in The William & Mary Quarterly, third series, vol. 3, no. 4.
