- PR. RALPH E. EARL PORTRAITS, HARDY CRYER
PR. RALPH E. EARL PORTRAITS, HARDY CRYER AND WIFEPair of Tennessee portraits by Ralph Eleaser Whiteside Earl (1788 - 1838) depicting the Reverend Hardy Murfree Cryer (b. 1792--1846), in dark coat with ruffled collar, and a woman believed to be his first wife Elizabeth Rice Cryer (b. 1793--1832) in black mourning dress with white lace collar and cap. Housed in black and gilt wooden frames. Both portraits measure 26 1/2" H x 21 1/2" W sight; 33" H x 28 1/2" W framed. Circa 1830. Provenance: Descended in subject's family to current consignor. Biography ( Courtesy of James C. Kelly, Virginia Historical Society, Tennessee Encyclopedia of History and Culture, 1998): Ralph E. W. Earl was the son of Connecticut painter Ralph Earl (1751-1801). Earl studied under his father in Northhampton, Massachusetts, before traveling to London in 1809 to study under Benjamin West and John Trumbull. In 1817, Earl arrived in Nashville to paint General Andrew Jackson, the hero of the battle of New Orleans. Later that year, in Natchez, he met and married Jane Caffrey, Rachel Jackson's niece. She died the next year, but Earl moved into the Hermitage would from then on remain in Jackson's circle, accompanying the newly elected president to Washington. During the next eight years, Earl turned out numerous paintings of Jackson. Politicians, especially Democrats, knew it "did not hurt to order a portrait of General Jackson from Earl." He painted many of Jackson's friends and a few of his foes. Earl returned to the Hermitage with Jackson in 1837 and died there in September 1838. Rev. Cryer was a close friend of Andrew Jackson who spent time at the Hermitage. According to the book "The Making the American Thoroughbred" (see book, also offered in this auction), Cryer was born in North Carolina in 1792, married Elizabeth Rice in 1812, was a member of the Tennessee Conference, Methodist Episcopal Church 1813-1816, and served one year on the Nashville district. "After withdrawing from the itinerant ranks, he served as a "local" preacher and continued to exercise the offices of a minister the remainder of his life. His many contributions to The Turf Register and The Spirit of the Times are rich in Biblical and classical allusions, after the style of that day; show much force and originality; and amply support the statement of McFerrin that he was of an ardent temperament and had a brilliant mind. His ardor distinguished him as a breeder no less than as a preacher. He kept more thorougbred stallions than any man of his time, except, perhaps, Thomas Alderson; owned a few blood mares; and took a great interest in turf sports." The book quotes stud books kept by Cryer which show that "Cryer's horses were patronized by practically all the prominent breeders and turfmen named heretofore in this volume, from Andrew Jackson and John Catron, down". Cryer's passion for horses seems to have gotten him into trouble only once with his church; he was charged with horse racing and summoned to a trial before a church tribunal. "The proof was clear and conclusive," wrote J.R. Hubbard in The Spirit of the Times, "but the evidence showed that the horse was raced in the name of Col. George Elliott, and that this gentleman owned one half of him." In Cryer's defense, he told the judge: "I would like for you to let me know how I can arrange it for my half of the horse to stand in the stable while Col. Elliott's half is racing." He was acquitted. Click here to view documents containing Andrew Jackson and Reverend Hardy Murfree Cryer correspondence.

- 1950-60 GOETZ BEER ADVERTISING PRINT
1950-60 GOETZ BEER ADVERTISING PRINT BY C. HARGENSFor your consideration is this 1950-60s Goetz Beer advertising print titled, "The First Run of the Pony Express" done by Charles Hargens. The Goetz Brewing Company, also known as the M.K. Goetz Brewery, was a brewery in St. Joseph, Missouri, in the United States. German immigrant Michael K. Goetz founded the brewery in 1858. It was first called the Western Brewery. Goetz started out modestly, producing beer in a modest wooden structure. As the company grew, Goetz gained a reputation for brewing high-quality beer. After Michael K. Goetz's death in 1884, Anthony F. Goetz became the new owner of the brewery. The brewery expanded and thrived while Anthony was in charge. To honor its founder, the name was formally changed to the M.K. Goetz Brewery in 1893. The brewery faced many difficulties from 1920 to 1933, the time of American Prohibition. Like many other breweries, it was compelled to stop making beer. Producing ice cream and non-alcoholic beverages helped the business survive. Prohibition was ended, and the M.K. Goetz Brewery started brewing again. The brewery rose to prominence in the 1940s and 1950s thanks to the "Country Club" beer brand, which became well-known in the area. The brewery underwent a significant expansion, and a brand-new, contemporary facility was constructed, in 1964. It increased the production capability and made it possible for the business to sell its goods to a larger market. Unfortunately, the M.K. Goetz Brewery faced financial difficulties in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1979, the brewery filed for bankruptcy, but it continued operations under new ownership. However, the struggles persisted, and in 2002, the brewery closed its doors for good. The print shows the first ride of the Pony Express with Johnny Fry (1840-1863), a Union soldier, leading the first ride from the stables. The top right of the print reads, "Goetz Beer" in blue lettering and to the right of that it reads, "Certified Straight Brewed" in blue lettering as well. In the bottom right hand corner it shows the artist's signature reading, "Charles Hargens". The print is on a large board and shows good condition overall with the corners of the board being bent and worn. The print shows good condition. The visible print measures 21 3/8" L x 32 3/4" W, while the entire piece measures 23 1/2" L x 39 1/2" W.
