Book excerpt: This dissertation argues that portrait cameo carving, a specialized skill learned by a large and geographically diverse group of neophyte American sculptors before their European training in three-dimensional or monumental sculpture, must be investigated as a distinct movement in pre-sculptural apprenticeship training. Previous scholarship overlooked portrait cameo carving or assigned it to a category of minor arts of little importance. I argue that cameo carving served American sculptors-in-training as an apprenticeship in relief carving, an important branch of neoclassical sculpture. By tracing the import of cameo portraiture to America and the way it was taught as a beginning exercise in sculpture studios, I show its impact on the careers of such American sculptors as Henry Kirke Brown, John C. King, Margaret Foley, Erastus Dow Palmer, Launt Thompson, and Charles Calverley. I trace the practice from the first Cincinnati studio to teach cameo portraiture in the 1830s to the popularity of cameo portraiture in Boston from 1840 to 1860, identifying studios teaching cameo portraiture and students who, learning the art, practiced it. Those students then earned the funds necessary for sculpture study in Italy by working as cameo portraitists, a practice that continued through the 1860s in both Boston and New York, and was in some cases, the only way students could earn enough to complete their professional training. I demonstrate how the format of cameo portraiture influenced not only the relief portraits of the sculptors who practiced it, but eventually also affected the style of American relief portraiture throughout the nineteenth century and into the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One April in Boston is the story of a real American family and a gift that was passed down from generation to generation. It teaches American history, the power of imagination, and the value of goal setting. In this unique book you will learn the real story of Paul Revere’s midnight ride; witness the first shots of the American Revolution; attend the reading of the Declaration of Independence in Boston on July 18, 1776; visit the Paul Revere House in 1909; and much more. After researching his Boston ancestors for six years, author Ben Edwards has crafted a tale that not only tells their story by tying in real connections to Paul Revere and Abraham Lincoln, but honors his relative Private Philip Edwards by revealing the gift he gave to the neighborhood children before leaving for France to fight in World War I and passing into legend. When the story begins in April 1775, 10-year-old Ben Edwards carries a spyglass that once belonged to his grandfather, an early Boston sea captain. Ben believes he can glimpse the future through its lens. His goal is to work on a sailing ship and see the world. Can the spyglass and a member of the Sons of Liberty help Ben on his journey? Will his predictions about the future come true? By reading the book you’ll discover that Ben’s gift is something we all possess, a power that can help you on your own life’s journey—if you believe in it.
