An interesting manuscript letter written by Dr. George Lorin Miller 1839-1920 a leading Nebraska pioneer and instrumental figure in establishing Fort Kearny. Miller also served as the fort's sutler during the Civil War and helped to recruit the First Nebraska Regiment. Miller was a physician politician editor and land owner who arrived in Omaha in 1854 the year the city was founded. Miller himself founded the Omaha Herald which later became the Omaha World-Herald and was. staunch Democrat who became adept at harnessing the power of the press.<br /> <br /> Here Miller writes to an unnamed general in Helena Arkansas who was most likely Samuel Ryan Curtis. Miller's letter is well-written providing insights into and details of the politics war news and other information of the period. He is friendly to his correspondent noting that the two men had been political opponents in the past but Miller states that he supported the candidacy of his correspondent as "Colonel of our Regiment because I believed you capable and patriotic." Miller praises him for being recognized by no less than the President for "gallant services authenticated as they were by the best officers of the service" and then bemoans the fact that the correspondent was denied an appointment by the Senate due to the "mendacious meanness" of a Nebraska politician named Samuel G. Daily who apparently worked against his confirmation. Then Miller notes that Daily had to answer for his denial of the correspondent's appointment on the recent campaign trail where Daily "had to meet your case in the canvass at every turn -- apologized lied and smoothed it over as he best could. Denying everything and admitting nothing saved him by about 100 votes." He continues to encourage his correspondent with supportive language and then closes with a short appraisal of their shared hometown in the Nebraska Territory: "Omaha is changing much but it will not outrun your recollection of it. When you return you will see as I see that it is a real home after all however changed its appearance. October 28 unknown

This is Monograph No. 2 in the series American Graphic Artists of the Twentieth Century. Una Johnson 1905 – April 28 1997 was an American curator and art historian. She was the head curator of prints and drawings at the Brooklyn Museum for more than 25 years. In 1936 Johnson became assistant curator of prints and drawings at the Brooklyn Museum. In 1937 she oversaw the purchase of a complete set of Francisco Goya's Caprichos print series. In 1941 she was promoted to the Curator position which she would hold for the next 28 years. Johnson curated many major exhibitions for the Brooklyn Museum including the first exhibition of the work of art dealer and publisher Ambroise Vollard the first exhibition of Edvard Munch prints in the United States the internationally recognized survey American Woodcuts 1670-1950 and New Expressions in Fine Printmaking. In 1947 she curated the Brooklyn Museum's first National Print Exhibition. During her tenure the Brooklyn Museum made important acquisitions for its print collection including Daumier a collection of Japanese prints and many contemporary European works. She published numerous books and monographs about printmaking focusing on artists like Georges Rouault Isabel Bishop and Adja Yunkers. Isabel Bishop March 3 1902 – February 19 1988 was an American painter and graphic artist. Bishop studied under Kenneth Hayes Miller at the Art Students League of New York where she would later become an instructor. She was most notable for her scenes of everyday life in Manhattan as a member of the loosely-defined ‘Fourteenth Street School’ of artists grouped in that precinct. Union Square features prominently in her work which mainly depicts female figures. Bishop’s paintings won the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award among other distinctions. Bishop began her art education at the age of 12 in a Saturday morning life drawing class at the John Wicker Art School in Detroit. In 1918 at the age of 15 Bishop graduated high school and began art studies at John Wicker's art school in Detroit Michigan. She later moved to New York City to study illustration at the New York School of Applied Design for Women. After two years there she shifted from illustration to painting and attended the Art Students League for four years until 1924. It was there that she studied with Guy Pène du Bois and with Kenneth Hayes Miller from whom she adapted a technique which owed much to baroque Flemish painting. In addition she learned from other early modernists including Max Weber and Robert Henri. During the early 1920s she also studied and painted in Woodstock New York. In 1963 she went to Yale University School of Fine Arts New Haven. For the first time that she taught at The Art Students League in New York she was the only full time woman teacher in that school. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s she developed a realist style of painting primarily depicting women in their daily routine on the streets of Manhattan. Her work was greatly influenced by Peter Paul Rubens and other Dutch and Flemish painters that she had discovered during trips to Europe. In 1932 Bishop began showing her work frequently at the newly opened Midtown Galleries where her work would be represented throughout her career. Bishop takes inspiration from Rubens by adding a light ochre-ish tone to all her works allowing for the painting to be rendered in any way. In 1934 Bishop married Dr. Harold G. Wolff a neurologist and moved to Riverdale New York. However she continued to work in a loft studio near Union Square at 9 West Fourteenth St which she continued to use until 1984. She became interested in the interaction of form and ground and the mobility of everyday life what she called "unfixity" life and movement captured on canvas. Her style is noted for its sensitive modeling of form and "a submarine pearliness and density of atmosphere". During this time Bishop began working in various printing techniques most notably aquatint. Her work was included in the first three iterations of the Whitney Biennial in 1932 1934 and 1936 as well as ten subsequent annual exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art. In 1940 Bishop was elected into the National Academy of Design as an associate member and became a full member in 1941. Her work was also part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics. She was also a member of and frequently shown her work in the Society of American Graphic Artists exhibitions. Bishop's mature works mainly depict the inhabitants of New York's Union Square area. Her portraits are often studies of individual heads; the emphasis securely on the subject's expression – or of solitary nudes. Bishop also painted multiple-figure compositions often containing two females engaged in various workday interactions. In the post-war years Bishop's interest turned to more abstracted scenes of New Yorkers walking and traveling in the streets or on the subways. The first retrospective exhibition of Bishop's work was held during her lifetime at the University of Arizona Museum of Art in 1974. The Brooklyn Museum hardcover
