Gary Bracken CollectionEst. $5000-7000 HWAC# 152839Lot#1007Arizona ThomasMoran’sGrandCanyonChromolithograph, c. 1912-1915 This remarkable chromolithograph, dated 1912, is a promotional piece used by the Atkinson, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway to promote their interests at the Grand Canyon. “The Grand Canyon of Arizona” chromolithograph is in its original frame 41.5 x 33 inches, with an image size of approximately 34.5 x 25.5. The A T & SF RY owned the copyright to the painting from which the chromolithographs were made. The frame contains an original brass tag at bottom center. It is signed by Moran, dated 1912 in the left corner. There are numerous repairs, notably crinkles and small tears along the left bottom and right edges, though from a distance, most of these are invisible. This chromolitho is a rarity, particularly because the number of lithos made for advertising purposes is unknown, and since the railroad holds the copyright, it has never been reproduced. Great American landscape artist Thomas Moran is known for his outstanding landscape paintings particularly of the American West. Moran (1837-1926) was a classically trained artist of the Hudson River School. During his lifetime he produced about 1500 oils and 800 watercolors, plus a plethora of illustrations for books and magazines. It was for one of these magazines that turned Moran’s attention westward when asked to sketch the Yellowstone. That historic first visit to Yellowstone rendered Moran’s first oil on canvas of a western theme in 1872 which was so terrifically outstanding that the painting was immediately purchased by the US Government for $10,000. With this fabulous rendering of one of nature’s grandest scenes, Moran became the first artist to “tackle the huge horizons of the Yellowstone,” and later of other seemingly endless horizons such as the Grand Canyon, which became his second target.

Bateman, Montana Businessman Archive, c. 1890-1935 This is a collection of correspondence, billheads, and letterhead related to the various business ventures of D.W. Bateman. David W. Bateman (1854-1932) was a Montana businessman involved in cattle ranching, wholesale liquor sales, and real estate during the late 19th and early 20th century. Bateman was the president of the Ashfield Land & Cattle Company, a cattle ranch near Bowdoin, Montana. This company mostly raised cattle and hay for sale, but it is possible that they also had other livestock and crops. Bateman did not work on the ranch himself but hired other men to conduct the day-to-day operations. Bateman worked in Great Falls where his liquor business was located. Bateman-Switzer Co. was a wholesale liquor dealer that also sold cigars, bar glassware, and carbonated beverages. Finally, Bateman was involved in the real estate industry. His real estate business was the Bateman-Wilkins Company. He bought and sold many different real estate properties including ranches, houses, restaurants, unimproved land, etc. There is plenty of correspondence between Bateman and his various business partners in this collection. There are also letters and billheads from other companies that Bateman bought supplies from for his ranch and liquor companies. Most of the billheads and letterheads in this collection are pictorial. This collection consists of 12 binders in 2 boxes (2 cubic feet). Please see our online catalog for more details.

29View complete catalog, Register, and Bid online at FHWAC.comDAY 1 Thur, Aug 25 General Americana Lot# 1263 Salt Lake City, Utah Mormon Imprisonment of Polygamists, c1880s-90s An original Mormon family pictorial archive from Box Elder County’s Peter Johnson, c1870s. Johnson was a polygamist. In the late 1880s, Utah had made moves to become a State within the United States. Part of the agreement with the Government was an eradication of polygamy. The history of the ensuing events is not clear, but it appears prominent members of the polygamist communities in each Utah county were arrested and imprisoned at the Utah State Prison for an undetermined amount of time. Peter Johnson was one of them. These men were later paraded in front of a photographer in front of the Utah State Prison, each photograph including the Warden. Many examples of these photographs can be found on the web, but not this photo. It appears groups of the imprisoned were photographed county by county. The family kept this original matted large photo of Johnson and his prison mates. On the back of the photo, published here, are the names of the people, which includes some prominent men within the Church. All here are from Box Elder County. It is this photo that puts the four large pictorial pieces in perspective. A copy accompanies this lot. The lot includes three Johnson family males. Two are unidentified, and assumed to be direct family, since the trio, and the fourth mammoth plate photo of the building of the Temple in Salt Lake (photographer “S & J Photo, Salt Lake”) all hung in a family home through the circa 1970s. All four images are in identical late 19th century frames, some in need of reverse restoration, though the contents are near perfect. Each original charcoal art sketch of the men is about 16 x 20” with overall frame sizes about 27 x 31”. The Temple construction mammoth plate photograph was taken by Sainsbury & Johnson. Sainsbury had apprenticed under famous Utah Photographer Charles Savage. His partnership with Johnson was approximately 1884-1893, according to Mautz. This phot is mid-stage in construction, thus perhaps 1890-1891. Est. $2000-5000 HWAC# 154984Lot# 1264 Utah Mormon Scrap Book, Pioneer Days Rare Day by Day with the Utah Pioneers 1847.

The Exhibit Supply Company (also known as ESCO) was the first company to sell cards that actually weren’t meant as a premium to a product (such as tobacco, caramel or gum). Starting in 1921, ESCO placed vending machines in penny arcades filled with the stars of the day; this not only included baseball players, but movie stars, boxers and even pinup girls. The early cards could be purchased for a penny (years later they cost a little bit more) and were postcard size, measuring 3-3/8 inches x 5-3/8 inches. In 1948, ESCO produced a special HOF set featuring 33 Hall of Famers. The set leverages many of the past images from previous years and the cards are fairly common. PSA has graded 1200+ cards in total, for an average of 36 cards per player having been graded. Est. $100-200 HWAC# 154620
