      PAIR OF SILHOUETTES OF KENTUCKY GOVERNOR JOSEPH AND PEGGY DESHA BY THOMAS EDWARDS (MASSACHUSETTS, 1795-1856).

      Est: $1,000 - $2,000

      PAIR OF SILHOUETTES OF KENTUCKY GOVERNOR JOSEPH AND PEGGY DESHA BY THOMAS EDWARDS (MASSACHUSETTS, 1795-1856). Ink and watercolor on paper, signed, dated 1824. Identified below. Double-framed with eglomise mats, 10 1/2"h. 17"w. Ex Paul and Alma Brunner (Ohio), sold at Wolf''s (Ohio) November 1990, lot 858. Edwards worked in Boston, from at least 1821 and examples of his work are in the collections of The National Portrait Gallery and The New York Historical Society. Joseph Desha, born in Pennsylvania in 1768, settled in Kentucky by 1792. He served in the Indian Wars and the War of 1812. Desha was elected to the state legislature and Congress, and served as governor from 1824 until 1828. Desha's years of public service were highlighted by his efforts for debt relief and his support of the Louisville and Portland Canal (at the Falls of the Ohio), but his reputation was greatly diminished by his conflict with Horace Holley, then president of Transylvania University, and, perhaps more notoriously, his pardon of his son, Isaac, who was twice convicted of murder.
