These three were regular actors and kept the old fogies in a roar all the time. Ingham told one pretty good story, but he told only one, and he only told that one once a year, at the regular meetin\u2019 of some art society, the members of which society got so used to the story that they got in the habit of laughin\u2019 at it in advance before Ingham could get a chance to tell it, which made Ingham mad, but he told the story \u201callee samee.\u201d As for Waldo, he couldn&#8217;t or wouldn&#8217;t tell any story at all, and would never listen to one if he could help it.

Stevens was the builder of two splendid Hudson River steamboats, the <em>Albany<\/em> and the <em>Rip Van Winkle,<\/em> and he employed several artists to paint the cabins of his vessels. The artists then were not above steamboat painting\u2019. Henry Inman painted the scene of Rip Van Winkle awakenin\u2019 from his long sleep and lookin\u2019 around him. This was the finest \u201csteamboat piece\u201d ever executed, and really was a work of art. Inman was himself very proud of it, and having finished it, he \u201cdropped in\u201d at Clover\u2019s and told him that he had just completed a paintin\u2019, lyin\u2019 on the dock, which he wanted a frame for. Down goes Clover to the dock to take the new paintin\u2019s dimensions, when he ascertained that it was bigger than his whole store, bein\u2019 painted on the paddle box or wheelhouse of the <em>Rip Van Winkle<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"221\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ripvanwinkle.png?resize=640%2C221&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1821\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ripvanwinkle.png?resize=1024%2C354&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ripvanwinkle.png?resize=300%2C104&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ripvanwinkle.png?resize=768%2C265&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ripvanwinkle.png?resize=1536%2C530&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ripvanwinkle.png?w=1558&amp;ssl=1 1558w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ripvanwinkle.png?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The <em>Rip Van Winkle<\/em>, with Inman&#8217;s painting on the wheelhouse<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Clover&#8217;s place was very quiet and unpretentious, bein\u2019 a three-storied wooden structure, not very large, but very cozy. Clover himself was like his place\u2013quiet, unpretentious, but solid\u2013very upright and a great favorite. It was his honesty that rendered him popular, for at that time the picture dealers of old New York were mostly a set of jolly humbugs. The rich men, the \u201cold merchants\u201d of New York, had a hobby then for the works of the \u201cold masters.\u201d So, rather than disappoint the old merchants, the old picture dealers got up any number of the \u201cold masters.\u201d One jolly old humbug of a dealer, \u201cold Pfaff,\u201d used to say among his cronies that he had sold more than twice as many Raphaels, Correggios and Da Vinci&#8217;s than there were in existence. He employed one clever fellow, called Leonard, who would \u201cdo\u201d an old master in an afternoon any time, with plenty of time for beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; At that time a Mr. Leeman Reed was a very rich man, and had one of the very finest, some said the very finest, residence in New York. The Leeman Reed house was at the lower end of Greenwich street, east side. It was ornamented with Italian marble, the mantelpieces were of exquisite design and finish, and the splendid Corinthian pillars separated the front and back parlors. The rooms were resplendent with French mirrors, and would have made a show to-day. But the house is a drinkin\u2019 saloon and a sailors\u2019 boarding house to-day, and the Italian marble has been hacked to pieces long ago. This Leeman Reed was a great patron of the painter Cole, and gave him some of his most liberal orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The New York Academy of Fine Arts was then in the Park, in what was at another time the old Almshouse buildin\u2019. In this old Academy there were some pictures exhibited finer than any seen in New York since, for Joseph Bonaparte displayed his collection of paintin\u2019s here awhile, and among these were some genuine \u201cold masters\u201d that haven&#8217;t been found here in latter days. The Academy was afterwards removed to Barclay street, and from Barclay street passed on \u201cuptown,\u201d as it were, till now it has reached Twenty-third street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 W. S. Mount was one of the artists of the old Academy. He made his start by another man&#8217;s mistake. He painted a picture called \u201cA man in Easy Circumstances,\u201d and the title pleased an old snob, who had more money than brains, and who, taking it for granted that he was buyin\u2019 the portrait of some distinguished rich man, ordered the picture to be sent to his gallery before he had seen it. Judge of his surprise when the old snob found his \u201cman in easy circumstances\u201d was really a Long Island loafer, hangin\u2019 around a tavern and taking his ease, tramp fashion. He didn&#8217;t see the joke, but it got wind, and Mount got his name up, besides havin\u2019 the old snob\u2019s money in his pocket. There&#8217;s sometimes something in a name, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mount_william_s.jpg?resize=640%2C769&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1822\" style=\"width:332px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mount_william_s.jpg?resize=852%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 852w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mount_william_s.jpg?resize=250%2C300&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mount_william_s.jpg?resize=768%2C923&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mount_william_s.jpg?w=999&amp;ssl=1 999w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">William S. Mount<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Inman and Ingham were both members of the old Academy, and were constantly pokin\u2019 fun at each other. Inman painted very quickly, but carelessly; but Ingham painted very slowly and carefully. So Inman got up a story of ingham&#8217;s havin\u2019 undertaken to paint a boy&#8217;s portrait for his grandfather, but before the portrait was finished the boy\u2019s grandfather had died, and his father and mother had died, and the boy had married and raised a family, and was himself a grandfather. Now Inman had taken a likeness of old Jacob Barker in an hour and was proud of it. And Ingham conceded that it was a wonderful performance, but the most wonderful thing about it, Ingham said, was that it was not only taken as a picture in sixty minutes, but it would serve equally well as a portrait for sixty people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But by far the jolliest thing in the history of paintin\u2019s in old New York was the impudently clever joke played on the public in the exhibition of \u201cThe Fall of Our First Parents,\u201d as it was called. The history of this paintin\u2019 shows that human nature hasn&#8217;t changed much in the last forty years or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A dissolute young Frenchman here once painted a \u201cfancy\u201d picture of a French grisette and a French hussar overtaken by a thunderstorm. The grisette and the soldier were both in a state of nature and had no grace about \u2018em; in fact, the whole thing was a daub. It was hung in some \u201cflash house\u201d and attracted some attention among the fast patrons of the place from its audacity and devilry, and was finally brought to the notice of man named Creighton, who was a painter or somethin\u2019 of the sort connected with some public institution. Prior to this Trumbull had been taken to see the picture and had unhesitattoingly pronounced it \u201can indecent daub,\u201d and Clover had refused on any account to have anythin\u2019 to do with it; but Creighton had had some experience with a certain kind of \u201cart.\u201d He had been intimate with the chaps who got up \u201cthe old masters\u201d to order, and he saw a chance to do something with the picture, though he didn&#8217;t at first clearly know exactly what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But he first got possession of the picture for a mere song, and then the idea came to him. A young fellow named Bullett happened to \u201cdrop in\u201d at Creighton&#8217;s place and saw this daub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cQuite an Adam and Eve sort of an affair,\u201d said Bullett, with a laugh, and then Creighton started up. That was the very idea he had been waitin\u2019 for; he knew what to do with the picture now. He would make \u201cquite an Adam and Eve sort of an affair\u201d out of it indeed, and money out of it besides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He said nothin\u2019 at the time, but he got the picture \u201ctouched up\u201d and \u201ctoned down\u201d a little for a few dollars, and then, for a few dollars more, he got a quick-witted young man for an \u201cagent\u201d who wrote splendid \u201cannouncements\u201d and advertisements for him in the papers, and wrote up a tip-top lecture about the temptation and the fall and all that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Then he hired a hall and announced that the world-renowned paintin\u2019 of the \u201cFall of Our First Parents\u201d had been brought over, at enormous expense, from Paris to this country, and would be exhibited to the \u201cintelligence and culture of the great moral and religious city of New York.\u201d Then he got an actor, who knew all about stage effects and lights, to arrange green baize and gauze and lights around the touched up, toned down daub, in such a manner as to produce the best effect, and to manage the thunder and lightnin\u2019. And then he \u201cgave a private view\u201d of the \u201cworld renowned paintin\u2019\u201d to the critics and a few leadin\u2019 people, among whom were some clergymen and lawyers and old merchants and politicians, and got \u2018em all to sign certificates testifyin\u2019 to \u201cthe grand moral effect and high religious tone\u201d of \u201chis superb and reverential work of art,\u201d and then publishin\u2019 those certificates with their well-known signatures in all the papers he threw open his hall to the general public and made money quite rapidly for a few weeks. All the old maids who hung pieces of cloth around the nude statues in the houses at that time, went to see those stark naked figures, and went wild over \u2018em, and there was a special discount made to Sunday-schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; And as the lecture was well written and well delivered, and as the lights, etc., were well managed, and the points of the picture were well displayed, I don&#8217;t see but that the old maids and the Sunday-schools got the worth of their money after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[Editor&#8217;s notes: The source of the above column was a magazine article: Thorpe, Thomas Bangs. \u201cNew York Artists Fifty Years Ago,\u201d <em>Appleton&#8217;s Journal of Literature, Science, and Art<\/em>, May 25, 1872, p. 572-575.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though the paintings that James Creighton promoted were judged by the above column&#8211;and its source, the article by Thorpe&#8211;as worthless daubs, they were in fact painted by Claude-Marie Dubufe, a student of Jacques-Louis David, and member of the informal &#8220;School of David&#8221; French artists.
