Historic Deerfield 2016 Annual Report Historic DeerfieldSummer Fellowship Program Celebrates 60th Anniversary in 2016 The summer of 2016 marked the 60th anniversary of the Summer Fellowship Program. Begun in 1956, the program was initiated to encourage the interest of bright students in careers in the museum field. The first summer of the program brought one undergraduate from Amherst College. In the following year six students were admitted to the program and since then 474 students have participated. Many of the program’s alumni hold professional positions in a variety of museums throughout the United States, while others are active in related fields like historic preservation, architecture, teaching, and the arts and antiques markets. This unique program gives college juniors and seniors the opportunity to live in the historic village of Deerfield; explore history and material culture studies in hands-on classroom seminars, walking tours and room studies with Historic Deerfield staff and visiting lecturers. They also learn to guide and interpret in Historic Deerfield’s furnished museum houses; conduct original research on New England history and material culture using museum and library collections and go on behind-the-scenes visits to historic sites. The program is fully funded, allowing students to pay no tuition or program fees. This year’s class of fellows arrived from across the country – and the world! – ready to explore the world of material culture and decorative arts. The students represented Pennsylvania, Delaware, Illinois, New York, New Hampshire, and Japan. In addition to attending seminars with Historic Deerfield staff, they also had the opportunity to participate in workshops on studying stoneware pottery, 18th-century etiquette, and letterpress printing, a new addition to the program this year, where they learned to set type and strike it on the museum’s reproduction printing press at the Wilson Printing Office. Following the presentation of their research papers, the fellows embarked on their southern road trip, taking them to the Library of Congress, Mount Vernon, Colonial Williamsburg, the Winterthur Museum, and Philipsburg Manor in Sleepy Hollow, NY.

11 12 Recent Acquisitions

Bartlett Powder Horn Inscribed “NATHANIEL BARTLETT/HIS HORN/MADE BY HIM/IN/ALBANY/OCTOBER/THE 16 1755” Cow horn Museum Purchase with Funds Generously Donated by Elizabeth Stillinger in Memory of William H. Guthman, 2015.37. This powder horn, which was made and engraved by its owner, Nathaniel Bartlett of Plymouth, Massachusetts, in the second year of the French and Indian War, depicts a lion wearing a crown, two soldiers dueling above a horse, and a fantastic mask with rosette terminal. Aside from documenting the work of a carver, the horn is important because it is accompanied by a rare woven military sash inscribed “NATHANIEL BARTLETT/OCTOBER 19 1771,” which was sold separately at the Guthman auction in 2006. The two are now reunited at Historic Deerfield.

13 Medal Probably New England, 1775-1800 Silver John W. and Christiana G.P. Batdorf Fund, 2015.35 Introduced into the American colonies around 1730, Freemasonry achieved great popularity after the American Revolution. Enthusiasm for this fraternal society grew alongside interest in the intellectual movement known as the Enlightenment and new theories on equality. Jewelry as well as other regalia played an important role in Masonic rituals and ceremonies. The symbols engraved on this medal are primarily drawn from the manual tools of stonemasons, such as the square and compass, the level and plumb rule, and the trowel. This medal also makes use of the pigpen or Masonic cipher, a simple geometric substitution code, which replaces each letter of the alphabet with a different symbol. The inscriptions translate as “I AM WHAT I AM” (1 Corinthians 15:10), and “LET THERE BE LIGHT AND THERE WAS LIGHT” (Genesis 1:3). This silver medal descended in the Putnam family of Connecticut and may have been owned by General Israel Putnam (1718-1790) of Pomfret.

14 Glazed Sconce Probably Salem, Massachusetts 1720-1740 Walnut, glass, brass Hall and Kate Peterson Fund for Minor Antiques, 2016.2

This glazed sconce is inscribed on the reverse in ink: “Samuel Barnard/Born 1684/Died at Salem, Mass/1762.” It is walnut- veneered with its original glass and brass socket. Samuel Barnard (1684-1762) lived in Deerfield and survived the 1704 raid. In 1718 he married Sarah Williams (1695-1720). After his wife’s death, he moved to Salem where he became a successful merchant. After his death in 1762, Samuel Barnard left money in his will for the purchase of a silver tankard to be given to the First Church of Deerfield in his memory. His nephew Joseph Barnard of Deerfield purchased the tankard for the Church. The tankard was made by Paul Revere and it and its bill of sale are owned by Historic Deerfield (respectively 97.60.5 and 77.051).

Notebooks and Journals Epaphras Hoyt (1765-1850) Deerfield, Massachusetts, 1820-1849 Wove paper, ink Partial funding provided by Margaret E.C. Howland, Ann Lord, and Deborah Dearborn. The acquisition of a group of notebooks and journals kept by Epaphras Hoyt (1765-1850) during the period 1820- 1849, has greatly expanded our knowledge of his many activities. Born in the Old Indian House, he became a leader in town and county affairs. Beyond holding numerous offices such as Postmaster, Justice of the Peace, and Sheriff of Franklin County, he represented Deerfield in the Massachusetts Assembly, taught at Deerfield Academy, worked as a surveyor, served as a general in the Massachusetts militia, and published on military theory and New England history. Hoyt was an avid reader and commented on a remarkable range of mathematical, scientific, and historical matters. A keen observer of regional and national events, he held strong political views and frequently wrote at length on the important issues of the day, including the Mexican War, education, Freemasonry, and the antislavery movement. His writings display an impressive vocabulary and vigorous intellect that set him apart from many of his peers and made him, in the words of Deerfield’s town historian George Sheldon, “a man of affairs.”

15 Table-desk Probably Springfield, Massachusetts, ca. 1690 Sugar maple, yellow pine, white pine, iron Museum Purchase with partial funds given in memory of Lawrence L. Wagenseil, 2016.16

This unique form, a table-desk, retains its original iron hardware and wooden pulls, and traces of its original surface. It is a particularly important acquisition for Historic Deerfield because it was once owned by Reverend Jonathan Ashley’s (1712-1780) contemporary, Puritan minister Reverend Nehemiah Bull (1701- 1740), who also lived in Westfield. In fact, Ashley may well have known the table-desk 300-plus years ago that now sits in his Deerfield house! One of the drawers bears the signature of Nehemiah Bull, which is verified through comparison with those on Bull’s day book in the collection of the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association. Reverend Bull was the father of Deerfield blacksmith and gunsmith John Partridge Bull (1731-1813).

Message Horn (cap missing) Northeastern United States or Canada, 1750-1800 Cow horn Gift of Ann du Mont Lord and Suzanne du Mont Alexander in memory of John S. du Mont, 2015.38.

While most horns engraved like this example with fish and scrolls were used to store gunpowder, this one—only a little over 5” long—was made watertight and carried in a pocket or bag with the purpose of conveying messages. Its brass nails might otherwise have been used in 18th-century upholstery. The owner, “WV,” is now anonymous but we might imagine him carrying an important dispatch to Wolfe or Washington during the French and Indian War or the American Revolution!

16 Dressing Table Probably painted by “Mrs. Annie Johnson” Probably Middletown, Connecticut, about 1810. Eastern white pine, paint and glass Gift of the Hascoe Charitable Foundation, 2015.20

This elegant dressing table, complete with an adjustable looking glass and storage box mortised into the top, was signed in graphite “Mrs. Annie Johnson,” who was apparently the skilled ornamental painter. The artwork, far from naïve, depicts molded panels and trophies of musical instruments. The dressing table is related to similar furniture from Middletown owned by the Winterthur Museum. The furniture was inspired by English examples that remind us that white was also a popular choice for neoclassical furniture.

17 Chest of Drawers George Belden (1770-1838) Hartford, Connecticut, 1790 Cherry, white pine, brass Gift of Stephen and Wendy Gaal, 2016.20.1

The interior of this chest of drawers is extensively inscribed in graphite by George Belden, who was probably born in East Hartford in 1770. It is speculated that he apprenticed in the Aaron Chapin shop in Hartford and then served as a journeyman there before setting up his own shop in East Windsor in 1793. Christina Vida, former curator at Windsor Historical Society, has established that Belden had a long career in East Windsor from 1793 until the mid-1830s, and that he was most likely the town’s preeminent cabinetmaker during this period. In addition to being a cabinetmaker, Belden served in the Connecticut militia, rising to the rank of Captain. The ogee bracket feet are attached to the case with a so- called quadrant base, each attached to its own large, quarter-round pad with a tongue and groove joint. This large foot structure is representative of case pieces made in the Hartford area around this time.

18 Mug Attributed to Samuel Bell’s Lower Street Potworks Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, England, ca. 1740 Lead-glazed earthenware (agateware) Hall and Kate Peterson Fund for Minor Antiques, 2016.10.2 When two or more colors of clay are combined to make a variegated or marbled body, it is often called agateware. This example is a piece of “thrown” agateware: an object formed on a wheel using a prepared mixture of various colored clays. While the earliest documented agateware is found among the products of John Dwight of Fulham, commercial production of English agateware does not begin until the second quarter of the 18th century. In 1729, Samuel Bell, owner of the Lower Street Potworks in Newcastle-under-Lyme, was granted a patent to produce “red marbled stoneware with mineral earth found within this kingdom which being firmly united by fire will make it capable of receiving a gloss so beautiful as to imitate if not compare with ruby.” Thrown agate reached its height of popularity in the 1750s and continued in production into the early 1770s.

Tea Canister Derbyshire, England, ca. 1765 Lead-glazed, cream-colored earthenware (creamware) Museum purchase with funds donated by Ray J. and Anne K. Groves, 2015.30 Eighteenth-century tea drinkers typically stored their leaves in covered tea canisters to keep them dry and free from unwanted odors. Most tea canisters were left undecorated or enhanced with simple painted floral designs; this unusual creamware tea canister depicts a scene from an illustration in John Gay’s Fables, “The Gardener and the Hog” (1727). This fable tells the story of a gardener who treated a hog like a pet. The natural instincts of the beast emerged; the animal got drunk, ruined the flower beds, and attacked his master. The moral was “He who cherishes a brutal mate shall mourn the folly soon or late.” These “Gardener and Hog” tea canisters are extremely rare forms in English pottery, and were made exclusively in creamware.
