multicolored wool yarns in the Irish stitch in a zigzag
variation pattern, edged with green woven twill tape, the
divided interior lined with green glazed wool, the name
and date “TIMOTHY MANN 1771” stitched on one edge;
the wallet accompanied by five articles: an original
document addressed to Timothy Mann Esqr.,
announcing his appointment to “Major of the fourth
Regiment in the first Division of the Militia in this
Commonwealth comprehending the County of Suffolk,”
dated January 18, 1787, signed by James Bowdoin, the
“Governour of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts”; a
small paper with an embossed seal centered with the
name “MANN” and several first names of many
generations of male Mann family members; a small paper
inscribed “Timothy Mann II 1771-1857”; another piece of

Note: It is unclear weather this wallet originally belonged
to Timothy Mann (b. 1747, Walpole, Massachusetts, d.
1843) or his son Timothy Mann Jr. (b. 1771, Walpole,
Massachusetts, d. 1857), but it is apparent that Timothy
Jr. owned the wallet at some point. The elder Timothy
Mann served in the Revolutionary War and resided in
Walpole, Massachusetts with his wife Elizabeth (Parker).
The original house built c. 1771 still stands on Neponset
Street. He also operated a woolen mill in the
outbuildings on his property which was located along the

William Bradford (American, 1823-1892)

Portrait of the Whaleship Young Hector off Clark’s Point, New Bedford. Unsigned, the ship identified on a fragment of paper affixed to
the stretcher. Oil on canvas, 20 x 30 in., in the original molded giltwood frame. Condition: Relined, scattered retouch, primarily to sky and
water.

Provenance: According to the consignor, her mother purchased this painting in the early 1970s from Otto Zenke, a leading 20th-century
designer from Greensboro, North Carolina.

Note: According to a note affixed to the stretcher the “Young Hector was built by William Howland at Padanaram near New Bedford,
Massachusetts, in 1850 at the expense of $50,000.”

William Bradford was born and raised in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, across the harbor from New Bedford, the home to the nation’s largest
whaling fleet. In 1852, after a failed clothing retail venture, a demise caused by his own admission because he “painted too much,” he took
up painting ship portraits as a profession. In 1854 he set up a studio in Fairhaven, where he collaborated with the Dutch artist Albert Van
Beest, who became a mentor and teacher until his death in 1860. Bradford accepted commissions from local mariners, and, following a
standard formula of port painters of the time, he accurately and painstakingly depicted the whaleships of New Bedford and Fairhaven and
eventually the clipper ships of Boston. In the 1860s, Bradford’s interests shifted northward, and he began traveling to Labrador, Nova Scotia
and Greenland to paint and photograph the arctic regions. He published a book about these travels in London and in 1882 received a royal
commission from Queen Victoria. Bradford eventually set up a studio in San Francisco to paint the natural wonders of the American West.
He later returned east to New York City, where he died in 1892.

This painting of the Young Hector, from early in Bradford’s career, most closely resembles that of the Whaleship Jireh Perry off Clark’s Point,
New Bedford, which is illustrated in the exhibition catalogue William Bradford: Sailing Ships and Arctic Scenes by Richard C. Kugler, New
Bedford Whaling Museum in association with The University of Washington Press, Seattle, 2003, p. 89, fig. 1.

Another paper label attached to the stretcher reads, “Property of Willard Straight.” Willard Straight was born in 1880 in Oswego, New York.
Early in his life, both his parents contracted tuberculosis and died, and the young boy was adopted by family friends. After graduating from
Cornell University in 1901, Straight began a career with the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs Service. This position gave him entrance to
the diplomatic world of the Far East. After the Russo-Japanese War, during which he served as a Reuters correspondent, he held diplomatic
positions in Korea, Cuba and China. His work caught the attention of leaders at J.P. Morgan, who hired him as their Far East analyst. In
1911 he married American heiress Dorothy Payne Whitney. With her financing, she, Straight, and their close friend Herbert Croly founded
the progressive magazine The New Republic in 1914. When the United States entered the First World War, he became active in the
Preparedness Movement and joined the army. He was sent to France, where he died in the influenza outbreak in 1918. His widow then
carried out his request to carry on his support of Cornell, overseeing the construction of Willard Straight Hall.

Federal Mahogany Inlaid Benjamin Crehore Piano, Benjamin
Crehore, Milton, Massachusetts, c. 1800, old surface, (imperfections),
ht. 34 3/4, wd. 84, dp. 23 in.
Note: Benjamin Crehore (1754-1831) was born in Milton,
Massachusetts, and was the first instrument maker in New England
to build pianos. In 1791, Crehore entered a partnership with Lewis
Vose to build a house and shop located in Milton. It was there that
Crehore built most of his instruments including both pianos and bass
viols.
This piano was built in Milton c. 1800, loaned to the Boston Public
Library by Steinert and Sons in 1912, and ultimately gifted to the
institution in 2008. The 5 octave piano is approximately 5 ft. 3 in.
wide and 1 ft. 10 1/2 in. deep. It is rectangular in size with a
mahogany case with ivory and black walnut keys. The whereabouts
of five of Crehore’s pianos are known, including one at the Peabody
Essex Museum and one at the Museum of Fine Arts.
Walter Hamor Piston Jr. (1894-1976) was born in Rockland, Maine,
and was a Pulitzer Prize-winning composer and music theorist.
Shortly after graduating from Harvard University, he joined the faculty
there and taught numerous influential composers including Leonard
Bernstein. In 1937 Piston wrote his Symphony No. 1, and conducted
its premiere with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1938. In 1943,
Columbia University commissioned Piston’s Symphony No. 2, which
was premiered by the National Symphony Orchestra and was
awarded a prize by the New York Music Critics’ Circle. His next
symphony, the Third, earned a Pulitzer Prize, as did his Symphony
No. 7.
Piston wrote four books on the technical aspects of music theory
which are considered to be classics in their respective fields:
Principles of Harmonic Analysis, Counterpoint, Orchestration, and
Harmony. The last of these went through four editions in the author’s
lifetime, was translated into several languages, and is still widely used
by teachers and students of harmony.
Mr. Piston gifted two Steinways, his Pulitzer Medal, and many of his
musical scores, manuscripts, and books to the Boston Public Library
around 1976.

2. All property is sold “as is,” and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor makes any warranties or representation of any kind or nature with
respect to the property, and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of
description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made
at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability.
