Contributed by Mary Chamberlian, Glasgow, Ky. During the early part of the 17th centruy, there swept over Eng land a great wave of religious awakening, resulting in a "mighty searching of souls", and a longing on the part of the people for greater liberty of faith and practice than that permitted by the Established Church. There were several factors in this revival which combined to produce what has come to be known as the "Puritan Migrations" the emerging of mankind from the darkness of the Middle Ages—the fuller development of the art of printing, bringing the gift of reading within the reach of the people, the ability and free dom of thought which inevitably accomplished this, and the discovery of that New World across the seas which seemed an open door to those longings for freedom. In 1638, the ship "Dilligent" set sail from the shores of Old Eng land, with about 133 passengers aboard, under the leadership of Rev. Robert Peck - all refugees from religious persecution, seeking the liberty for which they longed. Much of their property had been con fiscated before leaving England, the remainder sold for a fraction of its value-so they reached America in a state of great destitution* Their English home had been at Hingham, county of Norfolk, and soon after landing on the shores of Massachusetts, in August 1633, they established their new home, calling it for the one they had left - Hingham. Among this body of immigrants was Henry Chamberlin, his wife, Jan^. and several children, perhaps five or six. His widowed mother Christian Stoughton Chamberlin, accompanied him. She was the sis ter of Israel Stoughton who seems to have preceded them to this country and who is spoken of as "the distinguished father of that early governor of the Me^ssachusetts Bay Colony, William Stoughton." Savaoe, in his "Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England," says; "A more homogeneous stock cannot be found than these early settlers of New .ingland, and the honorable ancestry whici the body of New England may claim, has often been set forth in glow ing language, but the words of William Stoughton in his "Election Sermon" in 1688, expresses the sentiment with no less happiness than brevity- "God sifted a whole nation that He might send choice grain into the wilderness." To this, a speaker at one of the meetings of the Chamberlin Association of America, adds: "What a remarkable es timate of the character of those who first trod the soil of New England! How singularly gratifying, too, that the son of Israel Stoughton, who had a widowed sister of our surname, should be the person to place upon record such an estimate of our ancestors." Beside the first church erected in Hinghcun, Mass., there stands a hs^ndsome Memorial Tower to the first settlers, and among the names -34- inscribed upon the bronze tablet is that of HENRY CHAMBERLIN, the first of that name to settle in New England. Of course there were many privations to be endured, many hardships to face, and each man must turn his hand to whatever calling needed him most. It was cha.-^ > . acter that counted most, however, and testimony is universal as to the uniform attributes of these sterling men and women. With industiy anc' determination they established their new homes, soon acquired lard ard property, and before many years prosperity had begun to smile upon them. While much that we would like to know is denied us, there ar® other facts that point the way to interesting bits of information. "Show me your friends and I will tell you what you are", was no le^s true then than it is now, and we find the Chamberlins from the very beginning, identified with, and connected by ties of friendship and marriage with the leading families of the colonies. From their ranks have come men of all professions both learned and the more practica.l everday type, but all, we trust, were of one stamp as to character ano merit. The statistical records of New England have all been most wonder- ' fully preserved, and we study their minute and painstaking accuracy. And yet, how we long for more pen pictures of those early days, as we try to "read between the lines" of these statistics, sometimes of cheir dauly lives. Many of Henry Chcunberlin*s descendants seem to have removed to Vermont during the 1700*s, and we find branches at Strafford, Brattleboro and other towns. During the Revolutionary War there were literally hundreds of our name who rendered valiant service, from officers of the highest r.^nk down to modest privates. Our own immediate Revolutionary Ancestor v;a. Amasa Chamberlin of Strafford, and with him served six brothers, fi^-^^ uncles and his father-in-law, William Briscoe, besides countless cou sins. An interesting letter from Nathan Cobb, Esquire, of Strafford. whose memory and traditions touched that period, written to Mrs. Charles B Platt, of Englewood, New Jersey, throws a personal lioht upon his life and times: "I cannot tell you how your gr grandfather, Amasa Cheunberlin, ob tained the title of Colonel, since during the war he served as a private unless, later he perhaps Colonel or Lieut- Colonel of the State Militia. While he was not a cultured man (for few were at fiar period) he possessed a kind of Ethan Allen, strong, sturdy indepeud - ence of mind and action, as this incident will show. -In 1812, a trun-pike was built through the town of Strafford, in the great pe.rt, through means and enterprise of Col Asahel Chamberlin, and a toll-cat? was erected. Very soon afterwards Amasa had occasion to go to Sharoi (adjoining Strafford) and the keeper of the gate stopped him and de manded toll. The old gentleman was furious, and at once turned his horse homeward, kept on past his own house, and to a village a mil© north. It was Saturday afternoon, and a great crowd was in froat of the village tavern. When he was more than fifty rods away, he rosf? in his saddle, took off his hat, swinging it in the air, and shoatii.g -35" at the top of his voice: "Liberty! Monarchy! ivionarchy! They've piked her, and they've gated her! Boys, I guess we'd better let the Brit ish have her!" He married Molly, the daughter of William Briscoe, and they went to Boston on their wedding journey - she reding on a pillion on horseback behind him. While there, she purchased a small cut-glass sugar bowl, which she brought home in a small bag, or reticule as it was called. The bowl is still in existance in the family of Mrs Pratt. He was twenty-five and she fifteen years of age when they were married. Religiously, the family seems to have exercised fully the liberty for which they sought, since we find them identified with all the different churches. Those were stirring days, and religious reform ers or enthusiasts are often extremists, so we must not be surprised that differences of "faith and practice" ofthen brought radical re sults. Strong men use strong methods, but to us the pendulum seems to have had far to swing before it brought anything like true relig ious toleration. And yet, who can tell what the history of America and her relationship to the world would have been, without these "I'uritan migrations" and the sterling principles upon which they were founded. THE TROUGH SPRING FARM Also from the papers of Theo W Chamberlin, St Louis, Mo. Contributed by Miss Mary Edd Chamberlain, Glasgow, Ky. This article was written about 1913-14 The tract of land from which this hostoric home is taken, comes from a survey of one thousand acres to James McCorkle and sold by him in 1784 for t 200, or about one dollar per acre.

  • 'To Use Our Talents and Improve Them' Women's Careers in the London Art World 1820—1860
    1 “To use our talents and improve them” Women’s careers in the London art world, 1820-1860 2 Declaration of authorship I, Johanna Holmes, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. All illustrations are reproduced with the kind permission of copyright holders. Signed:………… ……………….. Date:…………25 July 2020.……………………………….. 3 Abstract This study investigates women’s access to work opportunities, and management of their subsequent working careers, in the London art world between 1820 and 1860. As markets became more buoyant, in the 1820s, giving way to a tide of consumerism and mass production from the 1830s onward, the workplace associated with art diversified and grew, yielding new opportunities for training and work in illustration and reproduction, design of commodities, art-teaching and art- historical study to both men and women who, in many cases, also pursued careers as practising artists. Nevertheless, when Emily Mary Osborn’s painting ‘Nameless and Friendless’ was exhibited in 1857, it followed a tradition established in the early 1840s of presenting a demure young woman, clearly vulnerable and insecure in the commercial world, attempting unsuccessfully to earn some much-needed income from her paintings. The narrative of her ‘plight’ in seeking an income from an inadequate education has persisted to the present day, but it is argued here that this did not literally reflect the experience, either of the painting’s female creator, or of other women working in this and associated occupations at the time.

I DISSERTATION COMMITTEE PEBPAOE The purpose of this study is to exsimine the view­ points of a sufficient number of critics of the Pre- Eaphaelite Movement to arrive at a tentative definition and to place the movement in its proper historical per­ spective. The primary emphasis will be literary. But since ,the Pre-Raphaelite Movement began as a movement in painting and so expanded in its later phase that its influence spread to furniture making, interior decoration, tapestry and wall paper design, and book making and illustration, a completely literary study of the movement would be as inadequate as one dealing solely with the painting. Numerous studies have been made of the indi­ vidual Pre-Raphaelites and of the movement in general. Most of these, however, are devoted to relating biographi­ cal facts and to tracing the history of the movement. Critical studies of the aesthetic underlying the movement and motivating the individual members are few in number. Although Pre-Eaphaelitism is well documented, no universal agreement concerning the historical facts of the movement exists. Por this reason, the first part of the study is essentially historical, tracing the successive Phases through which Pre-Ranhaelitism progressed.

  • Recovering Walter Howell Deverell: Image, Identity And
    Recovering Walter Howell Deverell: Image, Identity and Portraiture in Pre-Raphaelite Art Barbara Bryant Detail from Fig 2. Walter Howell Deverell. The Pet Parrot. c.1852-53. In 2015 the National Gallery of Victoria staged a two-day symposium to coincide with their exhibition Medieval Moderns: The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. In my keynote lecture, “The People behind the Portraits in Australia’s Pre-Raphaelite Collections,” I examined the links between the image in the work of art and the actual individual portrayed, while also develop- ing the theme of the crossover between portraiture and subject painting in Pre-Raphaelite art.1 From the founding of the Brotherhood in 1848, this group of young British artists ignited new possibilities in all genres of art, not least portraiture. The formal portrait mutated into a more direct vision of a real person, while subject paintings gained new meanings as artists cast family and friends in new roles, bringing into question the wider issue of identity. I argue in this paper that Walter Howell Deverell’s The Pet Parrot (1853), a painting in the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria, exemplifies this aspect of Pre-Raphaelite art.2 1 I am most grateful to Alison Inglis whose invitation to speak at the Symposium provided the opportunity for the research contained in this article. In addition, at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), I would like to thank Ted Gott, Senior Curator of International Art, who helpfully arranged for me to study the files in the department of paintings at the NGV and Vivien Gaston for facilitating this research.

    STAINED GLASSWORLDS: STAINED GLASS AT THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITIONS 1851-1900 JASMINE M. ALLEN TWO VOLUMES VOLUME I PhD THE UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY OF ART MARCH 2013 ABSTRACT Studies of nineteenth-century stained glass are sparse, and tend to focus on the medium in its ecclesiastical and architectural settings. This thesis broadens such approaches by placing stained glass in its wider cultural, political, economic and global contexts by considering its display at ten international exhibitions held in England, France, the USA and Australia between 1851 and 1900. These temporary exhibitions provide a unique vantage point from which to survey the perception, practice, and status of stained glass during the peak of the medium’s revival. Drawing on contemporaneous written and visual sources, as well as recent studies of nineteenth-century culture, this study explores the extent to which the international displays of stained glass at these exhibitions shaped and developed the appreciation, application, understanding and permeation of stained glass throughout the nineteenth-century. This thesis demonstrates how the classification and various modes of displaying stained glass impacted future perceptions and displays of the medium. It considers the ways in which stained glass was part of a broader culture of spectacle in this period. It identifies those who made and exhibited stained glass for display at the international exhibitions, revealing their motives for participating and additional roles as reviewers and judges of exhibits. This project reveals, for the first time, the significance of the international exhibitions in the history of stained glass. It draws on nineteenth-century critical reviews, visual records and exhibits (both extant and non-extant) and offers close readings of specific stained glass exhibits, which are analysed in relation to stylistic developments, and to medieval and modern glazing techniques.

SECOND im^mT^^^mll EDITION. LONDON : AY. SWAN SONNENSCHEIN AND CO., PATERNOSTER SQUARE. 1885. PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. the CONSIDERING the reception which has been accorded to " new issue of Converts to Eome," and bearing in mind the comments of the Press, 1 think it necessary to make a few observations on points which will interest my readers. As several reviewers, notably those connected with Dissenting Organs, have been under the impression that I have been honoured by the assistance of the Premier in the compilation of my work, it will be as well to state that the following of the letter, written by Mr. Gladstone to the late Editor Whitehall Review, has been the sole cause why the right honourable gentleman's name appears in my preface : "Hawarden, Oct. 11, 1878. " DP;AR SIR, " I thank you for sending me the Whitehall Review with the various lists of secessions to the Koman Church. I am glad they have been collected, and I am further glad to hear they are to be published in the form of a pamphlet. For good, according to some, or for evil, according to others, they form as a group an event of much interest and significance.
