1870List1032Jefferson City: S. Winans Photographer 1870. Carte-de-visite photographs measuring 3 ¾ x 2 ¼ on slightly larger mounts versos with the decorative stamp of S. Winans photographer 126 High St. Jefferson City. Some fading to images else about fine quite well preserved near fine overall. Near Fine. The Lincoln Institute of Jefferson City Missouri had its roots in the educational programs set up for soldiers of the 62nd Colored Regiment during the Civil War most of whom were from Missouri. After the war with $6000 raised from donations a group led by the white abolitionist officer Richard Foster set up the Lincoln Institute in Jefferson City. The student body was entirely African-american with the faculty a mix of African-American and white. The state of Missouri provided additional funding. <br /> <br /> Collected here are four portraits of students of the institute likely taken in the founding decade before the carte-de-visite format was replaced by the cabinet card. The photographer S. Winans took the photographs likely in his Jefferson City gallery as they are all staged in a formal portrait gallery. Winans also took a well known portrait of David W. Wallace the father of Bess Wallace Truman. Quite uncommon - we find no other record of these images elsewhere. S. Winans, Photographer unknown books
1915List1003Chicago: National Half Century Anniversary Exposition and Lincoln Jubilee 1915. Felt pennant measuring 38 x 15 inches. Lettering slightly faded very good condition overall. In celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Lincoln's death the city of Chicago hosted the National Half Century Anniversary Exposition and Lincoln Jubilee to celebrate emancipation and the cultural achievements of African-Americans. The event was held at the Coliseum on August 23 - September 22 1915. The Illinois legislature appropriated $75000 for the month-long celebration. Seventeen states appointed African American delegates to attend the event as representatives. Delegates from other countries participated as well. Bishop Samuel Fallows the English-born clergyman and Union Army Colonel spent a decade promoting and organizing the event urging states such as New York to appoint representatives and encouraging Chicago's religious leaders to attend. Several hundred pastors from African-American churches did attend along with members of their congregations and most contemporary accounts of the jubilee advertise speeches by African-American religious leaders. Charles F. Gunther a local candy manufacturer and collector of Lincoln memorabilia lent his collection to the event it was later purchased by the Chicago Historical Society. The event's organizers anticipated close to half a million attendees. Though we find no record of actual attendance contemporary reports show crowds of tens of thousands attending at a time. <br /> The Colored Women's Civic League closed the exposition with a ceremony involving children. <br /> <br /> Despite the large undertaking and historical significance of the event few relics of the exhibition have survived. OCLC lists two copies of the official program for the event. The official report of the event History and Report of the Exhibition and Celebration to Commemorate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Emancipation of the Negro has around 20 holdings. We find no other record of this commemorative pennant an unusual survival. Condition is very good with some light wear. National Half Century Anniversary Exposition and Lincoln Jubilee unknown books
