‎ELEVEN STAR AFIRST NATIONALA FLAG WITH SINGLE STAR ABONNIE BLUEA FIRST UNOFFICIAL CONFEDEDERATE FLAG VERSO‎

‎Confederate Flag Given by Infamous Spy Belle Boyd to a Union Officer‎

‎<p>"<i>June 18. Reached Front Royal & met there the famous & very handsome rebel spy Belle Boyd who gave to me the rebel flag waving which she led the attack upon Kenly in May.</i>"</p><p>The "stars and bars" circular canton pattern with eleven-stars was used for First National flags from July 2 1861 when Tennessee and North Carolina joined the Confederacy until November 28 1861 when stars were added for Missouri and Kentucky. The other side of this rare two-pattern configuration is a tribute to the "Bonnie blue flag that bears the single star" the unofficial first Confederate flag.</p><p>Frederic d'Hauteville's small autograph note has been loosely stitched to the flag: "<i>Confederate flag. Taken by F.S.G d<i>'</i>H. and given by him to E.S.F. in 1862. To be given to Freddie d'Hauteville when he is fifteen.</i>" His first wife Elizabeth Stuyvesant Fish died in 1863. Freddy his son by his second wife was born in 1873 thus dating his note about the second gifting of the flag to between 1873 and 1888. The flag remained in his family preserved in perfect condition until 2015 when contents from their Swiss castle were sold clearing the way for the property to be sold; it is now on the market for $60 million dollars.</p> <b>ELEVEN-STAR "FIRST NATIONAL" FLAG WITH SINGLE STAR "BONNIE BLUE" FIRST UNOFFICIAL CONFEDEDERATE FLAG VERSO.</b>Belle Boyd the "Siren of the Shenandoah" gave the flag to Captain Frederic Sears Grand d'Hauteville on June 18 1862 telling him that it was the flag she waived to urge on Confederate troops at the Battle of Front Royal a month earlier. D'Hauteville's 25-page autograph manuscript war memoir with his account of the gift of the flag quoted above is included. See below for complete transcript. With additional photographs and manuscripts. Homemade perhaps even by Boyd or a family member and used only briefly before being given to d'Hauteville the flag has been perfectly preserved retaining the short ribbons along its hoist and showing no tears holes fraying loss or staining. Over 5 x 3 feet. <p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>D'Hauteville had joined General Nathaniel P. Banks' staff before Banks advanced south up the Shenandoah valley the Shenandoah river flows north into the Potomac at Harper's Ferry so you go "up" the valley to the south and "down" the valley to the north to Strasburg maneuvering against Confederate General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson's army.</p><p>Belle Boyd had moved to Front Royal to stay with relatives when her hometown of Martinsburg West Virginia had been occupied by Union troops in March 1862. Shortly after her eighteenth birthday Boyd hid in a local hotel in Front Royal where she overheard General James Shields and his officers discussing orders to transfer his division to the Union army along the Rappahannock River in eastern Virginia. Boyd reportedly rode fifteen miles on horseback through Union lines to tell Confederate Colonel Turner Ashby of the reduced Union presence in Front Royal. When approximately 3000 of Jackson's men attacked the Union force occupying Front Royal on May 23 Boyd ran to meet Jackson's men as they advanced and urged them onward. The Union garrison approximately 1000 strong under the command of Colonel John R. Kenly of the Union 1st Maryland Volunteer Infantry was routed. Kenly was wounded and he and nearly 700 of his men were captured. Jackson later sent Boyd a note of gratitude for her role.</p><p><b>Robert Gould Shaw </b>1837-1863 another officer in Banks' command confirmed d'Hauteville's account. In a letter to his mother Shaw wrote "Perhaps you have seen some accounts of a young lady at Front Royal named Belle Boyd. There was quite a long and ridiculous letter about her copied into the 'Evening Post' the other day. I have seen her several times but never had any conversation with her. Other men who have talked with her tell me that she never asked for any information about our army or gave them the slightest reason to suppose her a spy; and they were probably as capable of judging as the correspondent who wrote about her. She gave Fred. D'Hauteville a very pretty Secession flag which she said she carried when she went out to meet Jackson's troops coming into Front Royal." Shaw went on to command an African-American regiment the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry which obtained fame in the Second Battle of Fort Wagner at Charleston Harbor on July 18 1863. Shaw died with many of his men that day and was immortalized in a memorial by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in Boston and in the 1989 film <i>Glory</i>.</p><p>That both d'Hauteville and Shaw believed Boyd's account that she waved this flag to encourage the Confederate attack demonstrates her ability to manipulate both men and narratives. In her own entertaining and exaggerated memoir Boyd later wrote "As I neared our line I waved my bonnet to our soldiers to intimate that they should press forward." Another key witness Henry Kyd Douglas 1838-1903 a member of Jackson's staff later recalled in his memoir seeing "the figure of a woman in white glide swiftly out of town" and that Boyd "seemed when I saw her to heed neither weeds nor fences but waved a bonnet as she came on." Whether she actually waived her bonnet or this flag or perhaps both at different moments during the battle that day she clearly gave it to d'Hauteville to curry favor and that apparently worked. Rather than being prosecuted for her role in aiding the Confederates in what was a disaster for the Union she was celebrated for her charm. Before being banished to England Boyd was arrested six or seven times and always managed with the help of gentlemanly Union officers to avoid the most serious consequences. Her seemingly innocuous flirtations apparently provided her with her greatest source of influence.</p><p><b>Isabella Marie "Belle" Boyd </b>1844-1900 was one of the most famous and notorious Confederate spies. After her father enlisted in the Confederate army Boyd became an espionage agent at the age of seventeen aiding the Confederate forces in the Shenandoah Valley. Forced from her home in Martinsburg West Virginia when Union troops occupied it she moved in with relatives in Front Royal Virginia. During the spring 1862 Valley Campaign she was a courier and provided valuable information to General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. General Jackson reportedly made her a captain and honorary aide-de-camp on his staff. On one occasion she wooed a Northern soldier to whom she was "indebted for some very remarkable effusions some withered flowers and last but not least for a great deal of very important information. I must avow the flowers and the poetry were comparatively valueless in my eyes." Boyd continued in her melodramatic style "I allowed but one thought to keep possession of my mind—the thought that I was doing all a woman could do for her country's cause."</p><p>After being betrayed by a lover she was arrested on July 29 1862 and spent a month in the Old Capitol Prison in Washington D.C. Exchanged a month later she lived with relatives in the South for a time. She was again arrested in June 1863 while on a visit to her birthplace of Martinsburg. Suffering from typhoid fever she was released on December 1 1863 and banished to the South. While attempting to sail to England on May 8 1864 she was arrested again as a Confederate courier. With the help of Lieutenant Sam Hardinge a Union naval officer she escaped to Canada and then to England where she and Hardinge married in August 1864. While in England Boyd had a stage career and published a highly fictionalized two-volume work entitled <i>Belle Boyd in Camp and Prison</i> 1867. She died in Wisconsin while touring the western United States telling her story.</p><p><b>Frederick or Frédéric Sears Grand d'Hauteville</b> 1838-1918 was born in Boston Massachusetts to a Swiss nobleman and American mother who returned to the United States while pregnant. Their marital conflict led to a contentious custody battle over Frederick in 1840 in a Philadelphia court which his mother won. D'Hauteville graduated from Harvard University in 1859. He was appointed volunteer aide-de-camp to General Nathaniel Banks in December 1861 and served at the Battle of Winchester in March 1862. Commissioned captain on June 30 1862 he served on General Samuel Crawford's staff including action at Cedar Mountain in August. At the Battle of Antietam in September his commanding general was wounded in the leg while talking to him and a few minutes later d'Hauteville himself was struck by a musket ball that was deflected by his boot but still seriously bruised his leg but. By December he returned to General Banks' staff in the Department of the Gulf. He resigned his commission on March 1 1863. He married Elizabeth Fish daughter of Hamilton Fish of New York in 1863 but she died the following year. In 1872 he married Susan Watts Macomb 1849-1928 with whom he had three children. She was the grand-daughter of Major General Alexander Macomb 1782-1841 general-in-chief of the U.S. Army from 1828 to 1841.</p><p><b>Additional Items</b></p><p>Five additional brief notes including one on letterhead marked "Newport" are loose in the notebook. Most were written by d'Hauteville and two are initialed "F d'H." This lot also includes cartes-de-visite of d'Hauteville and his commander Major General Nathaniel P. Banks and an albumen image of four officers who attended d'Hauteville's alma mater Harvard University and served with d'Hauteville in the Shenandoah Valley in 1862 from left to right Major James Savage Jr. 1832-1862 killed at Cedar Mountain; Captain Robert Gould Shaw 1837-1863 killed at Fort Wagner; Major Robert Morris Copeland 1830-1874; Captain Henry S. Russell 1838-1905.</p><p><b>Provenance</b></p><p>These materials descended in the d'Hauteville family until sold in September 2015.</p><p>The d'Hautevilles kept a home in Newport Rhode Island but they also lived much of the time at his family's palatial estate overlooking Lake Geneva in Switzerland. Approximately 1600 items from the family's estate were sold. Having been cleaned out the 30-room d'Hauteville chateau built in 1760 and its 64-acre estate is now on the market.</p><p><b>More Historic Background</b></p><p>Learning that Confederates had captured Front Royal Banks retreated north to Winchester. There he tried to slow Stonewall Jackson's pursuit leading to another lopsided Confederate victory on May 25. Fearing that Washington D.C. was exposed President Abraham Lincoln ordered General John C. Fremont's forces in western Virginia and General Irvin McDowell's forces in Fredericksburg to converge and trap Jackson. The Confederates demonstrated against Harper's Ferry on May 29 and 30 but General James Shields leading the only division McDowell actually sent recaptured Front Royal on May 30.</p><p>Over the next week as Jackson retreated the opposing cavalries met in several small skirmishes. In battles on June 8 and 9 at Cross Keys and Port Republic Jackson repulsed Fremont's and Shields' armies and stopped their pursuit. After initially considering a counterattack in the valley Jackson instead joined General Robert E. Lee at Richmond opposing General George B. McClellan's Army of the Potomac. Although Jackson's daring actions had threatened Washington D.C. and relieved pressure on Richmond Union armies resumed their occupation of Winchester and Front Royal.</p><p><b>Civil War Memoir of Frederick Sears Grand d'Hauteville </b>included with the flag.</p><p>The notebook is bound in black leather stamped in blind and gilt with marbled endpapers and lined pages. Titled in manuscript "The War of Secession 1861" this memoir was written between 1887 and d'Hauteville's death clearly compiled from notes or a diary made during the conflict. The gilt decoration is still bright and the leather and pages still fresh.</p><p>D'Hauteville's Memoir includes fascinating accounts of and commentary on the Battles of Winchester Cedar Mountain and Antietam. At Cedar Mountain D'Hauteville was particularly moved by the losses of the 2d Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteers "one of the best in the whole Union Army… officered almost entirely by young men belonging to the leading families in the City of Boston. All of them were my friends & very dear friends. Their loss was enormous but they went to their deaths with sublime courage.

It should never have been fought. The Commander of the Corps </i>Banks<i> was a political General without military experience or training & the plan of the battle was thoroughly bad. Nothing but disaster could have been the result & there was no co-operation from beginning to end. The right flank of the attacking Brigade General Crawford was exposed to the fire of a largely superior force. No reconnaissance of the ground was made during all the morning previous to the enemy's advance while the troops were lying idle under arms & there were no reserves. Any advantage which the Union Army might have temporarily gained was therefore lost in advance before the battle began as it could not be held. </i></p><p><10></p><p><i>General Banks was afterwards charged by General Pope the Commander in Chief with disobedience of orders in forcing the battle. This accusation was unjust and was clearly an afterthought on the part of General Pope. As the Assistant Adjutant General of the advanced Brigade these written orders were shown to me by General Banks and no question whatever arose in the minds of everyone who saw them in regard to their purpose & intent. They were worded as follows & taken down in writing when they were given: "If the enemy advances attack him instantly & be reinforced from here." Culpepper. The enemy certainly forced the attack to which General Banks replied with disastrous results. The explicit orders were strictly obeyed but the disposition for the attack & the general management of the battle could not have been worse. </i></p><p><11></p><p> <b><i>General Pope afterwards claimed that General Banks should have attacked only with his "skirmishers" & wait to be reinforced on the following day. The written orders cannot be twisted into such a construction as this. An instant attack against any advance of the enemy was ordered early in the morning in writing and it was naturally inferred that the necessary orders for reinforcements were arranged for <u>then</u>.</i></b></p><p><b><i> The 2d Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteers one of the best in the whole Union Army in General Gordon's Brigade was officered almost entirely by young men belonging to the leading families in the City of Boston.

About noon when we were together under very heavy fire & close to the enemy General Crawford was wounded in the leg & a few minutes later a musket ball struck the calf of my leg but my heavy top boots stopped its entrance.</i> <15> <i>The leg however was very much bruised.

General Banks assigned me to the task of passing upon all applications for furlough for the whole army around Washington. My offices were on the whole of the ground floor in the historic building which had served as Head Quarters for the General in Chief since the beginning of the war. It was a very arduous & responsible duty as the orders from General Halleck were very positive.

The expedition was being fitted out in New York & the Head Quarters of the Command were located there. About October 15 General Banks paid an official visit to Boston and I went with him.

‎Eugeen Van Mieghem‎

‎Antwerp, BAI, 2009 Hardback, 280x220mm, 272p, 460 col.ill, English edition , new condition !! . ISBN 9789085864745.‎

‎In recent years, the work of the Antwerp harbour artist Eugeen Van Mieghem is being rediscovered through expositions in e.g. Barcelona, London, New York, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin. This is particularly due to the author and curator of the Eugeen Van Mieghem Museum in Antwerp, Erwin Joos, who is studying the oeuvre since 1982. This is his first book describing the largest Van Mieghem collection in the world which is located in the Municipal Print Room of the City of Antwerp counting no less than 610 works of the artist. Van Mieghem grows up in the centre of the old Antwerp harbour. In 1892, when attending the Antwerp Academy, he sees works of e.g. Van Gogh, Seurat and de Toulouse-Lautrec. In 1896, he is dismissed from the Academy and works here and there in the harbour. In 1901, he is very successful at "La Libre Esthetique". Soon after that, he marries Augustine Pautre. Around 1900, he paints an impressive series about the Jewish emigrants who leave for the New World with the Red Star Line. At the end of that year, Augustine falls ill and Van Mieghem represents her when she is dying in an impressive series of drawings and pastels. In 1912 his first individual exposition is being organised, but the burgeoning international interest is suddenly broken off by the World War I. In 1920, Van Mieghem is appointed professor at the Antwerp Academy, and until his death, he continues his artistic activities in the context of the Antwerp harbour and its population. As no other he draws and paints the life of the man in the street, living and working in a world harbour.‎

‎Missing Images, Eugeen van Mieghem and the Jewish Immigrants of the Red Star Line‎

‎, , 2011 Paperback, 240x170mm, 160p, throughout bw and col. illustrations, English edition. fine condition ! ISBN 978908586614513.‎

‎Van de massele Europese emigratie tussen 1850 en 1940 naar de Nieuwe Wereld zijn bijna geen beelden bewaard gebleven. Van de Joodse emigranten zijn er wel de foto's van het leven voor het vertrek (Roman Vishniac in de shetls in Oost-Europa) en bij aankomst (Jacob Riis in de Lower East Side - New York). Beelden uit de vertrekhavens vindt men enkel bij de Antwerpse kunstenaar Eugeen Van Mieghem (1875- 1930) die rond 1900 beklijvende kunstwerken maakte van de ca. 2,5 miljoen landverhuizers die met de Red Star Line vertrokken naar Amerika en Canada. Dit boek vertelt het verhaal van "The Missing Images" dat de laatste jaren internationaal herontdekt wordt. Scarcely any images have been preserved of the mass migration from Europe to the New World which occurred between 1850 and 1940. Of course, photographs do exist concerning the lives of Jewish migrants prior to their departure (Roman Vishniac in the Eastern European shetls), as well as photographs taken on the arrival of those migrants at their destination (Jacob Riis in the Lower East Side of New York). However, images from the ports of embarcation are to be found only in connection with Antwerp's artist Eugeen Van Mieghem (1875- 1930) who, around 1900, produced moving works of art portraying the roughly 2.5 million people who emigrated to the United States and Canada on the Red Star Line. This book tells the story of "The Missing Images" that have been rediscovered internationally in recent years.‎
