[edit] C.R. Parker

C. R. Parker

Most art or museum publications that mention C. R. Parker identify him as an itinerant portrait painter from England who traveled the South. One claims that although he had a studio in New Orleans his mother had a plantation in East Feliciana, Louisiana. His period when actively painting is given widely varying dates from 1825 to 1862. Some Parker portraits in a New Orleans museum are assigned a date of 1855. Yet another publication states that the “…artist’s last known work was executed in 1862 … where Parker painted a portrait of Colonel James Bowie in his hunting suit, with his knife, made from a rasp, at his belt.”

Parker did travel the South painting portraits and he sometimes had a studio in New Orleans as well as Mobile, Alabama, and St. Louis, Missouri, among other cities. Nothing else above quoted from various museum and art publications is true. Charles Parker was not from England, he was born / baptized in Cheshire, Connecticut, on 30 September 1799; his sister Juliana (“Julia”) was baptized there on 15 February 1795 (she ended up in Alexandria, Louisiana). There was no Louisiana plantation, and he did not paint James Bowie in 1862 because Bowie died at the Alamo on March 6th, 1836. C. R. Parker died in New Orleans on February 1st, 1849. We do not yet know where he received his earliest art training. What we do know is that whatever that training was, it put him in contact with the best antique American models as well as the most recently painted ones.

C. R. Parker is first reported as an artist in New Orleans in 1825. By 1826 he was exhibiting his portraits of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, the Marquis de Lafayette and Benjamin Franklin, some on commission for the Louisiana Capitol. By 1827 a set of the same portraits had been hung in the Georgia Capitol building in Milledgeville, Georgia, but Parker had been given an additional commission – to paint the portrait of the late General James Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia.

These first known paintings by Parker are taken from other paintings of the four national leaders that Parker had seen. The most common source for the backgrounds of all except Thomas Jefferson, is the Washington portrait by Gilbert Stuart known as the “Lansdowne” portrait. All of Parker’s portraits demonstrate great facility with the background setting, draperies, furniture and landscape views seen behind, and to the side, of the subject. However, when it came to the human figure and particularly the identifiable faces of his subjects, Parker had greater difficulty. His early figures were invariably wooden and malproportioned, and his heads always too small for the bodies on which they sat.

Immediately after his sale of these large portraits Parker left New Orleans for England. He studied there at least from 1828 until 1832. The Royal Society of British Artists was one of the several arts related organizations with which he exhibited in 1828 and 1829. In 1828, John James Audubon also arrived in London and that August “… He met a Mr. Parker whom he had known formerly in Natchez, and agreed to sit while Parker did a picture of him as a woodsman. This took more time than he had expected, time that he resented having to give up, but he was pleased with the final results.”

In the fall of 1828 Audubon went to Paris and there Parker again joined him: “So far it had been a wonderful trip, and it became even better the following day [Sunday], when he and Parker, his friend from Natchez, who had also joined him, went to Saint-Cloud to attend the fete.”

Through Audubon, Parker was introduced to Baron Georges Cuvier, secretary of the National Institute, Professor of Natural History in the College de France, and member of the Council of the Imperial University, who sat for a portrait by Parker.

Parker returned to New Orleans in 1832 and re-established his studio there for at least a year while he also resumed his travels across the South from the Carolinas to Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Missouri. He received substantial praise in the press because of his portraiture which had improved dramatically, most notably in his more realistic rendering of the human body, the facial features, rich color palette and a sense of depth or three-dimensionality.

When C. R. Parker returned to New Orleans in 1832 he re-established contact with Joshua D. Waterman [b. 11 March 1784, d. 1857], his cousin from Wallingford, Connecticut, who was prominent in New Orleans as a managing partner in the firm of Newton & Co. There exists a certificate / note for John Jacob Astor, dated May 23, 1819, endorsed on the reverse by Waterman, who was actively in business in New Orleans before the first arrival of Stephen F. Austin and still in business when Austin returned in 1835.

Between 1832 and 1835 Parker was making frequent forays across the South seeking new clients, particularly the wealthy and powerful. Parker would obviously be passed around from household to household, via friends and relatives of satisfied clients, some of whom would prove to be active in the creation of the Republic of Texas. No where is this more clear than the web of connections between Texas and Milledgeville, Georgia, the state capital whose Capitol building held five of Parker’s first paintings. Milledgeville was the home of Mirabeau B. Lamar and Joanna Troutman, the creator of the Lone Star Flag, and congressman Hines Holt (below) among many others.

One of the most famous incidents in the War for Texas Independence, aside from the affair at the Alamo, was the massacre at Goliad when so many of James W. Fannin ‘s men were slaughtered. Fannin was from Morgan County, Georgia, just north of Milledgeville, and was married to Minerva Fort, a member of the family of Congressman Tomlinson Fort of Milledgeville. They were well acquainted with C. R. Parker’s paintings, both in the Capitol building in Milledgeville as well as among their relatives and friends.

To go to Morgan County meant taking the post road right past the Lamar plantation “Fairfield,” the home of Mirabeau B. Lamar and his siblings, including Mirabeau’s sister, Loretto, whose portrait was painted by Parker. However, on the way out of Milledgeville the traveler had to first pass “Jackson Hill”, the plantation of Green Hill Jordan, and then the plantation of his brother, Benjamin Smith Jordan, “Westover.”

One of the few men from the Texas command who did not die in the Goliad massacre was Basil Lamar, Mirabeau Lamar’s cousin, who was a lieutenant and had been sent as a courier to the capital at Washington, Texas.

John Troutman settled in Milledgeville soon after its founding in 1803 and by 1810 operated the only local grist mill and was proprietor of an inn. He had two children: Joanna Troutman who married Jeremiah Lamar of Milledgeville in 1812, and Hiram B. Troutman, whose daughter, also named Joanna, was born in Milledgeville in 1820. The younger Joanna Troutman designed and made a flag which she presented to the volunteers as they marched off to join the fight for Texas independence. Some believe that it is upon the suggestion of her kinsman Mirabeau Lamar that the flag was created. That banner became the “Lone Star Flag” of Texas.

Mirabeau’s sister, Loretto Lamar, married Congressman Absalom Chappell of Georgia; their portraits are also attributed to C. R. Parker. Indeed, the portrait of Absalom Chappell is strikingly similar to that of Stephen F. Austin, excepting the fact that Chappell was older his hair longer and his forehead higher than Austin’s.

Mirabeau B. Lamar was certainly well known to Stephen F. Austin, and Mirabeau certainly knew the work of C. R. Parker. Mirabeau Lamar first arrived in Texas in 1835 about the time that Austin was released from prison in Mexico and in very short order became an intimate of the leaders of Texas that were most attached to Austin, including Lorenzo de Zavala, the vice-president, and Jane Long, “The Mother of Texas.”

From the Lamar family records: “Mirabeau followed his friend James W. Fannin, Jr., to Texas to collect historical data. A journal of his trip records that he left Columbus, Georgia by stage on 15 June 1835.” He was so enthused about Texas that after helping build a fort at Velasco he returned briefly to Georgia to settle his affairs and move to Texas. He had left his trunks and documents in Texas with Jane Long while he made the hurried trip to Georgia. Then he heard about the Alamo and dashed back to Texas.

Following is Mirabeau Buonaparte Lamar’s letter to his brother, Jefferson Jackson Lamar, immediately after Mirabeau arrived back in Texas in April 1836.


Jefferson J. Lamar, Esqr.

Macon State of Georgia, US

Harrisburg, 10th April 1836

Dear Brother

I leave this morning for the army; a dreadful Battle is to be fought in three or four days on the Brazos, decisive of the fate of Texas; I shall of course have to be in it. Wm. D. REDD of Columbus is with me. Texas is in a dreadful state of confusion; the Mexicans thus far are prevailing. St. antonio has been retaken by them and every man in the fort murdered - CROCKET was among the number. FANNIN's army is entirely destroyed. After fighting four or five hours, the enemy held out the white flag and proposed terms of capitulation to which FANNIN yielded. The terms of surrender was that they were all to be transported to New Orleans, not again to engage in the war; they were about four hundred, including WARDS's men, and Capt. MILLER's first arrived & taken at Copano. They were kept prisoners 9 days, then marched out and fired upon & all butchered with the exception of two or three who escaped by flight. Almost the whole of the Americans from Georgia and Alabama have perished. The citizens of Texas are flying in every direction; houses, farms & c. are deserted and every thing left behind. HOUSTON's Army has retreated from the Colorado to the Brazos; the Mexican army is in San Fillipe, ours 20 miles from them; they will come together in a few days. I shall reach HOUSTON day after tomorrow, a distance from this place about 50 miles - In the event of my falling in Battle, you will find my trunks, papers &c in the posession of Mrs. Jane LONG who has temporarily fled from Brazoria to Boliver point at Galveston Bay. The money brought by me to be laid out in Lands, I have of course, in the present confused state of things, not been able to lay out. Govt has no authority to sell lands, and from individuals no purchase can be yet made with safety. I have therefore been much embarrassed to know what to do with so large a sum of money; it is too dangerous to keep it about me, especially as I am going in to Battle. After due consideration, I have placed it in the hands of Lorenzo ZAVALA, the vice President of the Government, the most responsible and probably the most honest among them. His receipt for the money, I know not how to dispose of other than to keep it about me with instructions to Wm D REDD to take it to you in the event of my falling & his escaping - The amt placed in ZAVALA's hands is six thousand dollars; REDD, the president D. G. BURNET, POTTER & others saw me give the money to him, and can be evidence of the fact if I should loose the receipt. I hope the gentleman for whom I am acting will believe that I have acted for the best; it is true, I might fly precipitately to the U. S. and return them their money without trusting it with any one here, or exposing my self to danger, but a course so unpatriotic and disgraceful, I know they would not require of me; if in addition to the facts of envolving an equal amt with each of them, and also peril my life, I am confident they will acquit me of any selfish disregard of their interest –

If I fall I shall leave either with ZAVALA something in the shape of a will which you will have to execute; I shall leave it either with ZAVALA or Mrs. LONG. If not drawn up with the formalities of law, I know that it will nevertheless be fulfilled. My health at present is good. I feel much solicitude for my mother; If she was well and cheerful & could bear affliction with more fortitude I should be happy - Tell Rebecca Ann, that she must learn to write read & spell well, and that is the best education - I have petitioned to Govt for my League of Land as a citizen of Texas in 1835; but the Govt will do nothing in it; I think however the testimony of Hoxey & Christman, the surveyor, of my intention to return to the Country as a citizen will hereafter secure the Land when the war is over. I write in Great haste.

Your affectionate Brother

M. B. Lamar

Mirabeau became the vice-president of the Republic in September 1836. Stephen F. Austin died several months later in December 1836. Two years later Mirabeau B. Lamar succeeded Sam Houston and became the second president of the Republic of Texas.

[edit] C.R. Parker and Stephen F. Austin

The painting is signed in red “C. R. P.” a typical abbreviation of his standard signature, “C. R. Parker.” The canvas is early 19th century as should be expected. The colors, background features and the elegantly posed asymmetrical composition, are all hallmarks of Parker’s portraits in the 1830’s - 1840’s.

Is this really a portrait of Stephen F. Austin? That question has been addressed by the foremost authority on Stephen F. Austin and biographer, Dr. Gregg Cantrell of Texas Christian University, who consulted other historians in the matter and compared the physical characteristics in this portrait with all known extant Austin likenesses. With this portrait conforming all identifiable characteristics of Austin and Dr. Cantrell personally convinced it is an authenticate portrait, there seems to be little doubt that this is indeed a portrait of Stephen F. Austin, “The Father of Texas.”

When, where and how could the painter and subject have been brought together to produce this portrait? If Parker’s and Austin’s travels and activities prevented them from being in the same place at the same time, then the attribution is questionable. If it can be shown that they were in the same city simultaneously, the possibility increases substantially. Since there is little or no probability that Austin just indiscriminately walked into Parker’s studio and asked for his portrait to be painted, it suggests that there had to be a common contact, someone to introduce the painter and the subject. If Parker and Austin found themselves in the same city at the same time and there was a common factor between the two men that would have led to an introduction, then the final question of authenticity is essentially answered.

There are four probable ways in which C. R. Parker and Stephen F. Austin could have come together. First, having read that Austin was in town, Parker could have approached him and requested that he sit for a portrait. Second, that there was a relationship between the Austin and Parker families which could have led them to seek out each other while in the same town, probably New Orleans. Third, that there was an acquaintance linked to both men in the town who could have introduced them. Fourth, that C. R. Parker and his abilities were known to Austin’s acquaintances in Texas and they were thus introduced.

In fact, all four scenarios were not only possible but equally probable. We may never know which did cause the meeting, but there can be little question about it happening and that it most likely happened in the winter of 1835-36 when Stephen F. Austin was in New Orleans from December 1835 to January 1836. Austin had been in New Orleans earlier in 1835 but that was in the hot season and he would not have sat for a portrait in winter garb as he is presented in this portrait.

Stephen F. Austin came to Texas in 1821 in response to the deathbed request his father, Moses Austin,. At that time Stephen Austin was working at a New Orleans newspaper and attending law school. C. R. Parker had not yet arrived in New Orleans so there is no chance of them meeting at that early date. However, Moses Austin and the Austin family were from Durham, Connecticut, which was home to several generations of Austins and the site of the family graveyard. There are still Austins living in the area, including the nearby towns of Wallingford (six miles distant) and Cheshire, Connecticut, six miles from Wallingford and twelve miles from Durham.

Durham, Wallingford and Cheshire, Connecticut were all villages, or at most, small towns. In 1800, after Moses Austin left for a more promising future elsewhere, the town of Durham had a population of 1,029; Cheshire had 2,288; and, Wallingford had 3,214. The families in all three towns had been intermarrying for generations, leaving many if not most of them related in some form to everyone else.

Similar relationships between the clients of C. R. Parker and the sympathizer / activists in the Texas cause abound throughout the South. These few examples are chosen to suggest the web of patrons and clients of Parker who could have, and in many cases did, directly touch on the life and career of Stephen F. Austin. From their home towns in Connecticut to their interrelated families and friends, C. R. Parker and Stephen F. Austin, who were nearly the same age, shared business, social and political connections. Similar relationships are found in New Orleans, along the Natchez Trace, and many other areas.

Thus, Austin and Parker were in New Orleans at the same time. Any of these relationships could have been the catalyst for the introduction of Austin and Parker that resulted in the painting of Austin’s portrait. Indeed, it may very well be that the simplest answer is the correct answer: Parker could have seen in the newspaper that Austin was in New Orleans during December 1835 / January 1836, and sought out someone among his friends and relatives who could introduce him to the famous man. Parker could then have offered to paint Stephen F. Austin’s portrait for free. He was known to have done that for other illustrious personages. We will probably never know for certain but one thing is abundantly clear: the possibility of a personal introduction between Austin and Parker is certain, and the purported portrait of Stephen F. Austin by C.R. Parker is the result.

[edit] Milton Rogovin

Milton Rogovin was born in New York City in 1909. After graduating from Columbia University, Milton moved to Buffalo in 1938, setting up his own optometry business. In 1942, he married a woman by the name of Anne Snetsky. In that same year, he was inducted into the army, working as an optometrist. After being discharged from the army, Milton and his wife Anne had three children: two daughters (Ellen and Paula), and one son (Mark). He was called before the House un-American Activities Committee in 1952. Along with many other Americans, Milton was subject and victim of the Communist witch-hunts. The incident inspired Milton to turn to photography as a means of expression. For Milton, photography was a means to, above all else, keep his voice from being silenced. In his life, Milton has traveled throughout the world, taking numerous photographs, and earning highly-accredited awards. Still, out of all his work, his most impressive feat was in the development of “The Forgotten One’s.” In the work, Milton captured over a hundred families from Buffalo’s lower west side. Milton’s started the project in 1972, completing it more than thirty years later (in 2003), at the age of 92. In 1999, the Library of Congress collected more than one thousand of Rogovin’s prints. Today, Rogovin is acknowledged not only as an exceptional artist, but as a hero of working class people.

[edit] Mary Frohman

Mary Frohman was a member of the Dehorn Crew, and she sand with Leslie Fish on meny of the early songs. She sang the choras of "Toast for unsung heroes", "Turn and Belive", Iorn Mistress", "Hope Erie" (a famous Filk song), "The Thousandth man", "Few days", "Thoughts on strange visitors", and "Neutral Zone, Romulian veiw". She also lived with Leslie Fish and had a romantic relationship with her. Mary Frohman did not like the fan-songs that Leslie Fish did, and her band, the Dehorn Crew, soon stopped singing with Leslie. Mary's favorite songs were "Wobblies from space", "Thousandth man" and "Tost for unsung heroes". She prefered songs about unions, and human accopleshment. She once wrote a peice that she called "The mother of all fan-fics" one month while dopped up of cough syrup. It was written to make fun of her freind/lover's fan-fiction and fan-song habits. The two eventualy broke up, and Mary moved to her home-city of Detroit. There she cared for a freind of her's who had become parapoligic in a car accedent. Under her care he became much more healthy then he was before. In 2000 Her brother, Tom Frohman, did a google person serch for her. The faimly had belived that she had died sometime during the Veitnam-Era... Possibly in the Chicago Riots which she had been involved in. Not only did he find her, but it turned out that her current residence was only two miles from Tom Frohman's, Elsa Frohman (her sister's) and her parents' residences. She was welcomed back to the faimly with open arms. Her other brother, a mathamatition named Charlie Frohman, drove up from Iowa to see her. He took along his wife and son. After that, life was pretty quiet, and she made preserves with her brother Charlie every year in the fall untill the day she died, June 4th 2005, of a heart attack.

Politicle Veiws:

Mary Frohman was a member of the Wobblies, and was also a member of the group that later became the weathermen. She was an anarchist, and would often tell stories about the chicago riots. Her specific vision of anarchy was micro-goverment as opposed to no goverment, and she was more for free-enterprise then for the more socoalistic visions of anarchy. She was an avid reader of sci-Fi, especialy Henry Turtledove.
