About the Item
Wonderfully preserved hand-colored 1830's lithograph "Ground Squirrel" by Thomas Doughty (American, 1793 - 1856), circa 1830. From "The Cabinet of Natural History and American Rural Sports." Phila: J.&T. Doughty, 1830-32. Sold previously by Bland Gallery, Early 20th century East Side gallery specializing in miniatures. Presented in frame with new acid-free mat under plexiglass. Image size: 7.25"H x 8.75"W.
Doughty’s short-lived magazine “The Cabinet of Natural History and American Rural Sports” is an important imprint in the history of American printing. It contained the first colored sporting prints made in America. Issued in monthly parts and published from the end of 1830 until the spring of 1834, “The Cabinet” featured articles on hunting, detailed descriptions of newly discovered flora and fauna, and some of the finest examples of early American hand-colored lithography. It was originally the work of the Doughty brothers, Thomas and John, with virtually all of the plates being the work of Thomas, who also founded the Hudson River School. But, by the spring of 1832, the partnership had broken up and Thomas had moved to Boston. An abbreviated third volume lacked Thomas’ touch.
Printed by Childs & Inman, the partnership between Philadelphia engraver and lithographer Cephas G. Childs and New York portrait painter Henry Inman, was active 1830-1833 on Walnut Street near Fourth Street. One of the earliest premier lithographic firms in the city, Childs & Inman succeeded the firm of Pendleton, Kearny & Childs and was noted for lithographs eliciting the "spirit and freedom of execution, which no merely imitative art can ascertain." Through the first year of the partnership, Inman remained in New York and coordinated with Childs about the business through correspondence. While outside of Philadelphia, Inman acted not only as the head artist, but as a business agent. He interacted with print sellers to gauge the state of the market for lithographs; purchased and shipped supplies; and suggested artists, such as James Clonney for employment.
Other artists employed by Childs & Inman included George Lehman, who later becomes Childs's partner; Thomas Doughty; E. W. Clay; Albert Newsam; W. H. Hay; and H. E. Sauinier. Renown printer P. S. Duval also entered the firm in September 1831 after he was recruited in Europe by Childs who was traveling abroad to better learn the trade.
Childs & Inman printed city and town views, portraits, political caricatures, advertisements and plates for J. & T. Doughty's "Cabinet of Natural History," and McKenney & Hall's "History of the Indian Tribes of North America." In 1833, Inman left the partnership and Childs continued proprietorship of the firm with artist Lehman under the business name Childs & Lehman.

"Coyote Scratching His Fleas..." - Woodblock Print
By Daniel Stolpe
Located in Soquel, CA
Vibrant print of a coyote by Daniel Stolpe (American, 1939-2018). Titled, numbered ("Presentation Proof"), signed and dated along bottom edge. Presented in a black frame with a double mat. Sheet on verso with information about the piece, stating that only 5 Presentation Proofs were created, making this piece 1 of 5. Paper size: 24"H x 28"W.
(2018) Master artist and Native Images lithographer Dan "Coyote" Stolpe slipped out of his non-functioning body, and is running free at last and howling in the hills. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Dan's father introduced him to Native American teachers of Art and Culture through the Woodcraft Rangers, who influenced Dan for the rest of his life. "Everything was patterned after a tribal structure," Stolpe said. We learned about Indian life and lore and we had Indian guys teach us how to make Indian costumes and about Indian dance and drums. That's what got me interested."
Dan made his first drum when he was 14, and he was quietly playing that same drum during his final days of life.
Stolpe attended LA Co. Art Institute (OTIS) on scholarship until 1962, when he dropped out to Apprentice with artist Don La Viere Turner in Glendora, and then with Master Printer Joe Funk in Venice until 1966. Commissioned by the Smithsonian Institute, he moved to Washington DC to illustrate extinct birds...
