Henry Chapman Ford (1828-1894) American, Etchings. Set of 4 California Mission Etchings. Including Mission Dolores, Mission San Gabriel, Mission San Miguel, and Mission Sonoma. All signed and dated '83. Overall Size: 11 1/2 x 16 1/8 in. Sight Size: 10 5/8 x 15 1/4 in. #1049 #1050 #1051 #1052 . Best known for his 1883 series of etchings on the Franciscan missions of California, Henry Chapman Ford was raised in Livonia, New York, and began painting as a youth without the benefit of instruction. After working in a counting house for several years, he moved to the West and settled in Moline, Illinois, a growing community on the banks of the Mississippi. During this residence he sketched views along the river, which were lithographed and sold to subscribers. By 1858 Ford had saved enough money for formal study in Europe, but after a month in the Paris studio of C. P. Cranch, he took off on his own, copying pictures in the museums and sketching in the countryside. On his return to the United States in 1861, Ford enlisted in the Union Army and served in Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky, furnishing the illustrated press with sketches of army life until 1862, when he was forced by ill health to seek a medical discharge. Recuperating in Chicago, Ford opened a studio and became the city's first landscape painter. One of the founder's of the Chicago Academy of Design (the predecessor of the Art Institute), he served as its president for several years. In 1871 his studio burned and he lost most of his work. In failing health, he moved to California in 1875 and settled in Santa Barbara. Location Box 1

Each of the 24 etchings signed and named in the plate: H.C. Ford / 83, signed in pencil lower right, numbered in pencil lower left Each sheet: 14.25" H x 18" W; Each mat: 16" H x 22" W Provenance: Private Collection, Santa Barbara, California Literature: Spalding, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 16, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 24, 22, 21, 23, 26, 27, 25, 28, 19 (edition complete and in the order, numbered as found in the catalog raisonne) With a 4-page pamphlet featuring accolades from peers and listing the Missions within the Imperial Edition. Notes: Henry Chapman Ford was an illustrator born in Livonia, NY in 1859. Having saved enough money, Ford traveled to Paris to study art. Three years later, he returned to the United States and enlisted in the Civil War, serving in the Union Army. The illustrated press published his drawings of military life throughout his service. Due to medical conditions, Ford was discharged and eventually settled in Chicago, Illinois where he became the city's first great landscape painter. Ford also made a name for himself as a founder and president of the Chicago Academy of Design. Desiring a warmer climate, he ultimately made his way west to Santa Barbara. Ford embarked upon a project to paint, draw, and create etchings of each of the California Missions, traveling by horse and buggy to each of them. His most iconic works focus on the architectural structures and the surrounding untamed landscapes of the West. The portfolio of 24 etchings by Studio Press, New York, is said to have reinvigorated interest in the state's Spanish origins and "rank among the best records that remain… of [the] mission buildings in the period of their neglect..."1 Of special note among the 24 etchings is the Santa Barbara Mission before its destruction in the 1925 earthquake, as well as the ruins of the old La Purisima Mission, damaged by earthquake in 1812, and now only a remnant of what Ford records. 1 E.S.
