RARE FERROTYPE PHOTO OF THE
ORIGINAL UNCLE SAM, SAMUEL WILSON |
this historically important
tintype image of Samuel Wilson the crestor of America's Uncle Sam character
depicts a half length quarter plate portrait of a bearded Sam Wilson in dark
waist coat, vest, white shirt and tie and mounted in the original black Union
case with photographers imprint of velvet pad and inked manuscript on the
back plate "Sam'l Wilson, St. Mary's Str., Troy, N.Y. 1852". This
is the only known photograph of Sam Wilson, the official progenitor of one of
America's most iconic national charactors "Uncle Sam". Samuel
Wilson (1766-1854) was born in then Menotomy, Massachusetts, now a part of
Arlington. He was the owner of a meat packing company and during the War of
1812 one or more of his workers declated that the meat they were packing was
stamped "U.S." because it belonged to "Uncle Sam Wilson".
Army regulations of the time required that all meat purchased for the army
had to be stamped with the initials of the contractor and the initials "U.S."
for the United States. The workers at Wilson Brothers meat packing company
jokingly stated that as all the meat was stamped "U.S." this made
Sam Wilson a man of wealth and importance in the country. These early storys
of Wilson's workers and company were extensively researched and documents by
Colonel Edgar T. Noyes of San Antonio , Alton Ketchum of N.Y.C. and Thomas I
Gerson of Schenectady, N.Y. This research and documentation was considered so
well done and detailed that Samuel Wilson was officially declared as the
progenintor of the national symbol of Uncle Sam by the 87th Congress of the
United States on Sept. 15, 1961. This quarter plate Ferrotype portrait of
Samuel Wilson was a part of the collection of Col. Noyes material relating to
Uncle Sam and was one of the pieces presented to the U.S. Congress as part of
the documentation leading up to their offical act recognizing Wilson as the
origin of this important American symbol. This ferrotype (tintype) portrait
was taken by the early Troy, N.Y. photographer Christopher Schoonmaker at his
studio in 282 Riverr Street in
1852, shortly before Sam Wilson's death in Troy in 1854. This lot includes
the complete documented chain of ownership from Col. Noyes to the current
owner. The complete story of the origin and history of Uncle Sam was
published in the Nov., 1966 issue of the American Legion Magazine. A digital
copy of this photograph is used in the 2016 Wikipedia entry under Uncle Sam. |
Very Good with very minor
blemishes in background of portrait. |

AMBROTYPE PHOTO |
a sixth plate ambrotype double
portrait of two members of the Wilson family a young bearded gentleman and
his wife, taken circa 1850 and mounted in a full case with Schoonmaker
imprint on red velvet matt. As this couple are considerably younger than Samuel
it is likely that they are Benjamin Wilson and his wife. Benjamin was the
only one of Samuels four children to marry and have children. This piece was
also a part of the Col. Noyes collection. |
