"Lady Washington" tooth image probably sourced from a plate in The Life of George Washington, by Jared Sparks (Boston: Tappen & Dennet, 1843) engraved by J. Cheney & J.G. Kellogg, after the original 1757 painting by John Wollaston. At the time of the portrait, Martha Dandridge, who would have been about age 25, was still married to her first husband, Daniel Parke Custis, who died in 1757. She is wearing a low-cut puffy-sleeve gown with a red bow on the bodice. It is a notably fashionable and svelte portrait, in stark contrast to the more commonplace dowdy likenesses. Portrait enclosed within a red and blue swag border containing white hearts bisected by red stripes and with leaves at each point. Rose garland below title cartouche.

Washington, about age 40, is wearing his uniform of colonel of the Virginia Regiment, which he commanded from 1755 to 1758 during the French and Indian Wars, including a feathered cockade, a long scarf, a vest and jacket, and a sword at his side.

Portrait enclosed by a red and blue crown-like swag border containing Union shields and with crosses at each point. Patriotic garland of crossed cannons and furled American flags below title cartouche. Martha Washington had commissioned the Peale portrait of her husband as a companion to the 1757 Wollaston portrait of her, and the pair of paintings hung in the front parlor of Mount Vernon.

  WONDERFUL AND RARE FAMILY COLLECTION OF CONFEDERATE MEMORABILIA, CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG, WEAPONS, PERSONAL AND VETERAN OBJECTS ALL WITH WONDERFUL UNBROKEN PROVENANCE TO AUGUSTUS PITT ADAMSON CORPORAL COMPANY E 30TH GEORGIA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. An incredible collection of firearms, photographs, flags, letters, documents, and personal accouterments, veteran’s memorabilia, uniform items, all with the proverbial family trunk. Strong provenance exists through years of careful family retention to Corporal Adamson. Corporal Augustus Pitt Adamson was the author of the work Brief History of the Thirtieth Georgia Regiment published in 1912 by the Mills Printing Company of Griffin, GA. An inventory and evaluation of the collection is as follows: A spectacular photograph of Adamson in uniform accompanies this group. Photograph is a post-war cabinet card – most likely copied from an ambrotype - measuring 5" x 7" and stamped "Wilson’s Studio/41 Bull Street, Savannah, Georgia". The photograph shows Corp. Adamson in a 3/4 seated pose wearing a battle shirt with dark collar, epaulettes and cuff decoration and holding a large D-guard Bowie knife. This photograph clearly shows the youthful face of a young Confederate warrior, eager to serve the cause. The transcript of Corp. Adamson’s diary details that he was captured toward the rear of Gen. Johnston’s army on the morning of May 17, 1864 by the 5th KY Cav. Taken to the prison camp at Rock Island, Ill. and remained there until his exchange in March, 1865 in Richmond, VA. The Confederate Battle flag of Co. E 30th VA Vol. Inf. as well as the 2 inf. guidons and the United States flag taken from the Warren House in Jonesboro, GA, all a part of this amazing collection, were extensively examined by H. Michael Madaus, America’s foremost authority on American and Confederate flags and his description of these marvelous flag follows: CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG, ATTRIBUTED TO THE 30TH GEORGIA INFANTRY. Adamson Collection. According to the letter of provenance from Mr. Adamson, the flag as well as the other relics were inherited directly from his aunt Faye Adamson E.E. C.I.K., his father’s sister. Also in the trunk of relics was an old copy of a letter dated "December 2, 1865, Rex, Georgia. This flag belonged to The 30th Georgia Volunteer Infantry Company "E". It was made by the ladies of Clayton county and presented to the regiment by Miss Ella Callaway and accepted by Private J.H. Huie, April 18, 1862. this flag represented the 30th Georgia in the following battles: Jackson, Chickamauga, …A.P. Adamson, 1866." With letter of authenticity from Les Jensen. This flag was found (falling apart according to the family descendants) in the trunk of "relics" belonging to Corporal Augustus Pitt Adamson, Company E, 30th Georgia Infantry. Close examination of the reconstructed flag shows fragments of the original stitching which was believed to be silk and thus explains the deterioration of the stitching only. The Adamson descendants had the flag "reassembled" by a conservator in the late 20th century using deliberately large stitches and synthetic thread to distinguish any modern re-stitching from stitching that remained contemporaneous to the Civil War. This flag was produced by a "home" sewing group (as opposed to being spec-made at a government clothing depot), very possibly by first disassembling an older, large U.S. flag for its components. The flag itself conforms to the general design of the Army of Northern Virginia battle flag, but measures 54-1/2" on its staff by 57" on its fly overall. The red, wool, bunting field is pieced in each quadrant.. The outside sections measure between 4-1/2" and 6" in width and the inner triangles having a height between 8-1/4" and 9-1/2". A dark blue, wool, bunting St. Andrew’s cross is inset into the field, 8" to 8-1/2" wide, and pieced from rectangles of bunting 8-1/2" to 9" long (with each end piece about 16" so as to extend fully to the corners). The cross is bordered on each side with a strip of white, wool bunting, 2" to 2-1/8" wide. Each of the thirteen sections of the cross bears a white, cotton, 5-pointed star averaging 8" across their points on the obverse and 7" across their points on the reverse. These stars are sewn to the obverse side with a running stitch with white (yellowed with age) thread. The dark blue bunting behind each star was then cut away and under-hemmed and secured with a whipstitch of a different (black aged brown) thread (a technique for lightening the flags not uncommon during the Civil War and earlier). A 4" wide, white, wool, bunting border (formed by doubling over an 8-1/2" wide piece of bunting) was then added to all four sides. An additional pc of linen canvas, 2-1/2" wide, was then folded and dbld over the leading edge of the flag to serve as a 1-1/4" diameter sleeve for a cord that protrudes into loops at two cuts along the staff edge and at each end of the flag’s heading, which secured the flag to its staff. CONDITION: Flag is in overall good condition, although, as noted, all but the stars have been extensively re-stitched with a heavy synthetic dyed thread to replace what was the orig, (probably silk) and now missing, construction thread. Aside from these distractions, one of the quadrants shows minor separation of the bunting fabric and two of the stars are holed - one with a small hole - the other with a major deterioration due to a contact with some acidic liquid, possibly blood. (Note, the 30th Georgia Infantry reportedly lost a flag at Nashville, Tennessee on 16 December 1864,which was torn into pieces by the capturing unit ( the 5th Minnesota Infantry). However, that flag is not the same flag as described here). HMM PAIR OF CONFEDERATE VARIANT 1ST NATIONAL ("STARS & BARS") FLANK MARKER FLAGS OF THE 30TH GEORGIA INFANTRY. Ex-Adamson collection. Mating pair of small (12"-12-1/2" on the staff by 17-1/2" to 18-3/4" on the fly - to points) wool, bunting, swallowtail, flank markers. (The "general guide sergeants" at each end of a line of battle to mark the locations of the flanks of the regiment carried these small flags). Design of each is a variant of the Confederate 1st National flag (a.k.a. "Stars & Bars"), which consisted of three horizontal bars: red-white-red, and a blue canton with stars equal to the number of states in the Confederacy. In this case, the stars have been replaced by a single, white, cotton, 5-pointed star, 6-1/2" to 7" across its points & sewn to the reverse side of the dark blue wool bunting canton, which has been cut away on the obverse side to expose the white from the opposite side, in the same manner as the regimental battle flag. This suggests that all three flags (battle flag and pair of markers) were made at the same time and by the same sewing group. Five marker flags have been retained and preserved over the years by the Adamson family. The three remaining flags remain with the Adamson family. CONDITION: Individually framed and in excellent condition with little shows of wear or use. However, the markers have been re-sewn by the same conservator that reattached the pieces of the unit’s battle flag with the resultant, wide, synthetically dyed stitching in evidence. HMM CIVIL WAR U.S. ARMY CONTRACT RECRUITING FLAG, FLOWN OVER REX, GEORGIA (TORN DOWN BY PVT. A. P. ADAMSON IN 1865). U.S., Q.M. Dept., contract recruiting flag that served as headquarters and hospital flag for the 52nd Illinois Infantry during their occupation of Rex, Georgia in 1865. Typical regulation (4’4" by 9’10") 34 star (1861-1863+) "recruiting flag", which was flying over the Warren House in Rex, Georgia when Private A.P. Adamson of Company E, 30th Georgia Infantry returned to his home at the close of the Civil War. According to a note attached to this flag, written in March of 1866 and signed by Adamson, "I removed this Union Flag from the Warren House that was used as the headquarters and hospital for the 52nd Illinois Regiment." Flag has been torn off its canvas heading and, accordingly, now measures 47-1/2" on its hoist by 110-1/2" on its fly. The flag’s field is made from thirteen, alternating, red and white, wool, bunting stripes, all joined by sewing machine stitching. A dark blue, wool, bunting 2-pc canton, 25-1/2" wide and 40-1/4" long, is inset into the upper, hoist corner. It bears thirty four (34) white cotton, 5-pointed stars, set in five horizontal rows: 7-7-6-7-7, each 3-1/4" across its points and appliquéd to each side of the canton by hand stitch. The heading that once secured to its halyards or staff is now missing as a result of Adamson’s actions. CONDITION: In addition to the torn leading edge, the field of stripes shows considerable loss of material, both to typical wear in the field and to post-War insect damage. Canton shows almost no damage other than its separation from its heading and minor mothing, while all stars are intact and in good condition. HMM Many of the smaller items have, for years, been stored in an American made pine wood dome-topped trunk measuring 31" wide x 19" tall x 16" deep. CONDITION: Soft wood trunk, perhaps once covered in leather, shows extensive worm damage to exterior surfaces. Outside has been refinished a number of times and some reinforcement added to the interior. On either side of the trunk are 2 iron bale handles. Bottom portion of the locking mechanism is present, top is missing. Within the trunk, for many years, was stored letters, papers, personal items, and Adamson’s Colt Model 1851 Navy revolver, SN 114229 (all matched). His Colt revolver is a standard Colt Navy .36 Cal. with 7-1/2 oct bbl, iron frame, brass trigger guard and back strap. CONDITION: Very good. Pistol has dark uncleaned patina overall. Cylinder has numerous nicks and scrapes. Right grip is cracked and repaired. Mechanics are very good. Also with group is Corp. Adamson’s musket, being a US Model 1863 Contract rifled musket, manufactured by Bridesburg and dated 1864. The .58 Cal. musket has a 41" rnd bbl on a walnut stock with iron furniture. The lock plate is marked "U.S./Bridesburg" surmounted by an American eagle and dated 1864. Bbl is dated 1864 with appropriate proof marks and an American eagle stamped on the face of the bolster. The iron buttplate is stamped "U.S.". The musket is accompanied by a brass tipped cork tompion. Attached to the musket is a late 19th C. military leather sling, not orig to the gun. CONDITION: Very good. All metal has a light gray patina. Stock shows moderate to hard use. With the musket is its orig triangular socket bayonet and scabbard. Bayonet has an 18-1/2" blade marked "U.S." with the inspectors mark "J" near the socket. CONDITION: Very good. Gray uncleaned patina with light surface rust. Scabbard is of leather in US regulation style with 8 copper rivets on the belt frog. Belt loop is stamped "E.A. Crossman & Co./Newark/NJ" within an oval cartouche. CONDITION: Scabbard is excellent. Belt loop is flexed. Group also includes a Civil War period side knife having a 7-1/2", single-edged, thin blade measuring 1-1/2" at its widest point inset in a walnut hand-carved grip with a brass collar. CONDITION: Very good. Blade has a light gray patina which has been cleaned some time ago. Grip is cracked and the knife is accompanied by a late 19th or early 20th C. heavy leather scabbard, not orig to the knife. Adamson’s percussion cap box is manufactured of black russet leather being of somewhat crude manufacture following the Union regulation style. It is marked only with 2 tool rosettes on the front flap, one on the secondary flap, one on the front of the cap box body and two on the reverse. The Box has dbl sewn belt loops and a brass finial with a somewhat unusual collar at the base. This cap box could be of Confederate manufacture. CONDITION: Very good. Leather is stiff, unclean. Wool and pick are missing from the interior. Corp. Adamson’s Holy Bible and Psalter are included, published in London in 1858 with a tooled leather bound cover and brass clasp. CONDITION: Very good. Small group of Civil War period personal objects attributed to Adamson include: a 3-1/2" tall tin drinking cup, a small oil lamp measuring 3" in diameter with a single wick, a cased straight razor marked "Francis Albert & Co./Baltimore," a boxed set of Civil War period ivory and ebony wood dominos, a tinned case set of spectacles, an oval mirror in a soft wood case with a swivel lid, a tin of Goldmark’s percussion caps, a Japanned percussion cap tin marked "Eley, London", 6 American coins including a half dollar dated 1864, a quarter dollar dated 1861, a dime dated 1859, a half dime dated 1861, a 3 cent piece dated 1860, and a 1 cent coin dated 1848, and a wooden cased compass of probable English manufacture. CONDITION: All of the smaller items are in good to very good condition showing moderate to heavy use. An extensive archive of photographs, letters and documents accompany this group which chronicles the Adamson family and Corp. Augustus Pitt Adamson’s service in the American Civil War. Items include 1 orig printing of his history of the 30th GA Regiment. CONDITION: Very good, no wraps. A later printing c. 1925. CONDITION: Fair, front paper wrap present with losses, and of the work. A 1993 reprint. CONDITION: Very good. In addition, there is a copy of the book Sojourns of a Patriot; The Field and Prison Papers of an Unreconstructed Confederate by Abell and Gecik (Murfreesboro, TN, 1998) written around the prison diary and approx. 80 letters of Augustus Pitt Adamson (a number of these letters are included in the archive offered here). A genealogy of the Adamson family dated 1918, numerous identified photographs of Adamson and various family members, a series of war time letters to and from Corporal Adamson, including several written to him while a prisoner at Rock Island, numerous post war letters among family members, hand written recollections of the Civil War, census papers, newspaper articles, poetry, photographs of Adamson’s gravesite, and an original copy of the book, Georgia in the War; 1861-1865 by Chas. Edgeworth Jones of Augusta, Georgia dated 1909. CONDITION: Letters, papers, and remaining pcs of the archive are strong. Some letters are faded but readable. Other papers and letters have tattered edges and breaks at folds. A number of Confederate veteran related items are also included. A 1910 photograph of the reunion of 30th GA veterans at Forest Park, GA, and another taken on July 29, 1894 of veterans from his unit, a certificate from the Atlanta Battlefields Reunion to the Survivor’s Association of the 30th GA, and a couple of "Confederate Veteran" ribbons and a paper ticket to the Atlanta Cyclorama of the Battle of Gettysburg. What follows is an interesting grouping of items that date to the period 1890-1920 that were fabricated during Corp. Adamson’s lifetime in order to replicate his appearance in the c. 1861 photograph showing him as a young soldier ready for battle. Adamson recreated his gray battle shirt style jacket, which is made of lightweight gray flannel with a tabby weave with a 10-button front having a fallen collar trimmed in black wool, 2 shoulder straps and 2 black wool vertical strips running from shoulder seam to the bottom of the jacket. Each cuff has a Brandenburg batwing style appliqué with 3 buttons. The jacket has an exterior pocket below the right breast and is lined in a blue and cream-colored check wool material. Buttonholes are hand sewn. The entire jacket, except for shoulder straps, is adorned with 10 Civil War period general service eagle buttons down the front and 3 on each cuff. The epaulettes are secured with 2 brass coin buttons. The replicated battle shirt is clearly not exactly the same as the one Adamson is wearing in the historic photograph. It is, however, a plausible copy made during his lifetime. Along with the jacket is a low crowned kepi fashioned of the same material as the jacket, approx. 2-1/2" in front, 6" high in rear with a crown that is 4-1/2" in diameter. There is a black band on the base of the exterior, a tarred leather visor and chin strap secured by 2 Indian War period general service eagle buttons. The interior of the kepi has a 1-1/2" wide leather sweatband. The kepi is lined in black cotton. An extensive letter from noted Confederate uniform authority Les Jensen accompanies the jacket and kepi, which pronounces this as a rare post war period reproduction of a veteran’s orig uniform. Jensen states, "It is, so far as I am aware, the only known instance in which a Confederate veteran reproduced his first uniform for wear at reunions and other veterans occasions. As such, it is a unique and important survival". CONDITION: Jacket and kepi are in reasonably good condition, showing light use. No mothing is present, however some edges are worn and stitching loose. Also in this group is a handmade Confederate style D-guard knife with a 16" dbl-edged spear pointed elliptical blade. There is an oval brass counterguard, cast brass D-guard style knuckle bow with a flat black walnut grip. It is similar but not identical to the one in the photo (which obviously he lost when captured). The knife replicates the one Adamson holds in the historic photograph. CONDITION: Very good. Blade shows small areas of deep pitting. Finally, accompanying this group of post war materials is a copper and brass, cavalry sized bugle with a copper body, applied brass rim at the bell, and an excavated Civil War period mouthpiece. CONDITION: Excellent. No dents or dings. Mouthpiece is not orig. to the bugle but an excavated example. This incredible grouping of Confederate objects all related to the consignor’s family have been gathered carefully over a period of some 100 years by relatives, making this one of the most important groupings of personal and regimental objects related to a hard fought Confederate unit ever to be offered at public auction. 4-56160, 4-56106-1, 4-56160-2, 4-56160-3 CW1 (100,000-250,000)
