From this we might assume that Eastman, and perhaps Chapman, may have consulted a wartime pho- tograph. His antebellum Sumter is highly idealized, drawn perhaps from an as-yet unidentified print, or extrapolated from maps and plans of the fort—child’s play for a master topographer like Eastman. Coastal Defenses The forts painted by Eastman had once been the state of the art, before rifled artillery rendered masonry Fig. 11.

By 1867, when the construction of new Third System fortifications ceased, more than 40 citadels defended Amer- ican coastal waters.12 Most of East- man’s forts were constructed under the Third System, but few of them saw action during the Civil War. A number served as military prisons. As commandant of Fort Mifflin on the Delaware River from November 1864 to August 1865, Col. Eastman would have visited Fort Delaware on Pea Patch Island, located in the river channel between Wilmington and New Castle, Delaware. Channel-dredging had dumped tons of spoil at the northern end of the island, land upon which a miserable prison-pen housed enlisted Confederate pris- oners of war. Their officers were Fig. 12.

  • Nicholas Longworth 17 Nicholas Longworth: Art Patron of Cincinnati
    Spring 1988 Nicholas Longworth 17 Nicholas Longworth: Art Patron of Cincinnati Abby S. Schwartz ... A little bit of an ugly man came in...he came forward and, taking my hand and squeezing it hard, he looked at me with a keen, earnest gaze. ... His manners are extremely rough and almost course, but his shrewd eyes and plain manner hide a very strong mind and generous heart.1 These observations made in 1841 by the young artist Lilly Martin Spencer hardly seem appropriate for a man who was among America's wealthiest and one of Cin- cinnati's most prominent citizens. Described by another contemporary as "dry and caustic in his remarks" and "plain and careless in his dress, looking more like a beggar than a millionaire,"2 Nicholas Longworth, however eccentric and controversial, was a leading Cincinnati art patron as well as an outstanding collector and a generous supporter of the arts during the middle of the nineteenth century. Longworth's eccentricities of dress and behav- ior are well documented in photographs, portraits, and anec- dotes. While the Portrait of Nicholas Longworth by Robert Scott Duncanson (1 821-1872) portrays the subject as an important property owner and vintner, the work also docu- ments Longworth's eccentric habit of pinning notes to his suit cuffs to remind himself of important errands and appoint- ments. The portrait, painted in 18 5 8, is on permanent loan to the Cincinnati Art Museum from the Ohio College of Applied Science. An often repeated anecdote details young Abraham Lincoln's visit to Longworth's renowned gardens During the years he resided at Belmont (now where Lincoln mistook the master of the house for a gardener: the Taft Museum), 1830 until his death in 18 6 3, Longworth In the middle of the gravel path leading to a pillared portico, a amassed a personal art collection, assisted a number of artists small, queerly dressed old man, with no appearance whatever offinancially, offered advice and letters of introduction to having outgrown his old-fashioned raiment, was weeding.

PUT-IN-BAY, OH — Two hundred years ago, the phrase, “We have met the enemy and they are ours,” was penned by U.S. Navy Master Commandant Oliver Hazard Perry in a report notifying General William Henry Harrison that the British had been defeated at the historic Battle of Lake Erie. To commemorate this resounding triumph of the War of 1812 the U.S. Postal Service dedicated the War of 1812: Battle of Lake Erie Forever stamp today. The First-Day-of-Issue dedication ceremony took place at the Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial on South Bass Island in Lake Erie near the location of the battle.

These statue groups were removed in 1958 when the East Front was extended. The figure of the frontiersman in the Rescue group was damaged when it was dropped from a crane during removal to a storage facility in 1976. The Discovery group also was never returned, perhaps as a reflection of twentieth century changes in attitude toward the way Native Americans had been depicted. The triangular pediment on the east front of the new Senate wing was still another opportunity to replicate the motif of Native American decadence. Design of the sculptures for the pediment was assigned to Thomas Crawford. An American living in Rome, he had been trained by the Danish neo-classical sculptor Bertel Thorwaldsen and was considered one of the leading American sculptors of his time.

BERNARDO DE GÁLVEZ AND BARTOLOMÉ DE LAS CASAS 31 Dear reader: The U.S. Capitol is undoubtedly one of the great symbols of American democracy and the center of the country’s legislative and political activi- ty. In addition, this building hosts different works of art that make it a true museum of American history, a history that cannot be understood without the Spanish imprint that has marked the United States for more than 500 years. The millions of visitors who tour its halls and most emblematic places each year may not be aware that this building also has important references to the Spanish heritage of the United States. From figures such as Bernardo de Gálvez or Junípero Serra, to key figures in the history of America such as Hernán Cortés or Francisco Pizarro. They are all remembered in this iconic building. We talk about all of them in this new report from The Hispanic Council in which we present the Spanish heritage in the U.S. Capitol. We have tried to gather the main elements that we can find and explain why they are there.
