Signed, James Walter Folger (1851-1918)

Old Mill built in 1746 (Nantucket) 1884. Oil on Canvas, 14 1/2" x 9 1/2" sight. Signed, James Walter Folger (1851-1918) A scenic view of the Old Mill on Nantucket, showing miller John Francis Sylvia rigging a sail onto one of the mill's blades. Signed both front and back and dated 1884. The inscription on the back reads: "Painted by Jas Walter Folger Nantucket Mass 'Old Mill built in 1746' 1884" The signature on the painting near the bottom of the canvas reads: "Built in 1746 Jas Walter Folger. 1884" The original tag from Folger's Studio is mostly intact on the back of the stretcher and reads "Jas. W. Folger, STUDIO, Corner Main and Union Sts., NANTUCKET, MASS." James Walter Folger (1851-1918) was a mostly self-taught Nantucket painter and artisan. Folger is best known for ornamental wood carvings, historical paintings of Nantucket, carved animal heads, and historic dioramas. In 1869, he briefly worked as journeyman to a wood carver in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Folger was equally capable working in oils and watercolor. His Nantucket studio was located at the corner of Main and Union Streets. The Old Milll was built in 1745-1746 by Nathan Wilbur, a Nantucket Sailor who had spent time in Holland. It is one of the most identifiable landmarks on the Nantucket and is an enduring and recognizable symbol of the island. Wilbur sold the run-down mill for $20 to Jared Gardner in 1828 for use as firewood. Gardner however, who was a carpenter, restored the mill to working condition. The mill was sold again in 1866 to John Francis Sylvia, a Portuguese miller of Azorean descent. Sylvia operated it until 1892. Caroline French purchased the mill at an auction for $850 in 1897 and donated it to the Nantucket Historical Association. Today, the Old Mill is the oldest functioning windmill in the country.Old Mill built in 1746 (Nantucket) 1884. Oil on Canvas, 14 1/2" x 9 1/2" sight.

Nantucket Sankaty Head Light

Wendell Macy (1854-1923)

Nantucket Sankaty Head Light Oil on Canvas, 6" x 20" sight. Wendell Macy (1854-1923) A rare perspective of Sankaty Light by Wendell Macy, with the view as seen from the northwest, with the Polpis Road and the west side of Sesacacha Pond in the foreground. An inscription on the back of the stretcher reads "Nantucket Sankaty Head Light" Wendell Macy, a descendent of Nantucket's earliest settlers including Thomas Macy and Richard Swain, was a prolific painter of Nantucket Scenes. Wendell Macy was a contemporary of Eastman Johnson and W. Ferdinand Macy on Nantucket. (W. Ferdinand Macy, also descended from Thomas Macy, and also a painter active in both Nantucket and New Bedford, is occasionally confused with Wendell Macy.) Wendell Macy was active mainly throughout the last three decades of the 19th century and is considered one of the historically important Nantucket artists. He started his career as a crayon portraitist, and progressed to oil paintings of shipwrecks, dramatic scenes of nature, and Nantucket scenery, finally evolving to large works with historical and allegorical themes. Macy also constructed ships models and did restoration work on oil paintings by other artists. He was vice-president of the Nantucket Atheneum in 1907, and president in 1908 and 1909. He died in New Bedford in 1913. His work is highly sought after and is hanging in the Smithsonian's Corcoran Gallery of Art, the New Bedford Whaling Museum, the Nantucket Historical Association and in private collections.
