“Stitched in Faith, Preserved in Memory.”

As Utah honors Pioneer Day, we remember the many forms devotion can take—across lands, generations, and even through thread.

This rare 19th-century sampler, cross-stitched by Ann Eckford in Britain as a teenager, is a quiet yet profound expression of belief, longing, and cultural identity. Depicting the Nauvoo Temple—built by early members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and destroyed in 1848—the piece captures a sacred place that remained central to a people in transition.

Ann’s work reflects a pivotal moment in history, when leadership was shifting, and thousands were preparing for an uncertain journey west. She based her design on a commemorative ceramic created under the direction of LDS missionaries, then personalized it with stitched names of apostles, each carefully framed in red and black thread.

Like many young women in Victorian Britain, Ann learned embroidery as part of her domestic education—but her needlework went further. It became a record of faith. A way to preserve memory. A testament to spiritual endurance during a time of upheaval.

She would eventually immigrate to Utah in 1860, becoming part of the very pioneer story this state commemorates today. Her sampler—one of only a few known to survive—remains a powerful reminder of how belief is not only spoken or lived, but also made by hand.

On this Pioneer Day, we honor the many ways devotion endures.

“The Hoosier Youth” — Abraham Lincoln as you’ve never seen him.**⁠

Before the stovepipe hat and the presidency, Lincoln was a barefoot boy from Indiana. Sculptor Paul Manship—best known for blending classical elegance with American grit—traveled across Lincoln’s early stomping grounds to bring this moment to life.⁠

Commissioned in 1928 for the Lincoln National Life Insurance Company, this bronze study shows a young Lincoln accompanied by a hound dog Manship brought all the way from Kentucky to his studio in Paris. ⁠

Cast in Florence at the Bruno Bearzi Foundry, this rare piece connects us not to the myth, but the man.⁠

📍Provenance: Louise Taper Collection, Abraham Lincoln Presidential Foundation⁠
🗿 Bronze, 18 in., ca. 1930⁠
👤 Paul Manship (American, 1885–1966)

Study for a Fisherman’s Wife by Carl Bloch

A young woman walks briskly along the shoreline, her head wrapped against the wind, a basket secured to her back. In this quiet study, Carl Bloch gives us an intimate glimpse into the early development of his monumental painting Fishermen’s Families Awaiting Their Return in an Approaching Storm, now housed in the Hirschsprung Collection in Copenhagen.

Though Bloch would become known for his sweeping religious and historical scenes, here he pauses on something smaller—a solitary figure, caught mid-step, grounded in the everyday life of Denmark’s coastal communities. There’s a tenderness in the way he observes her, a sense of emotional weight carried not through drama, but through gesture and atmosphere.

Created in preparation for a masterwork, this study stands beautifully on its own. It captures the quiet dignity of waiting, of work, and of hope—echoes that would ripple through Bloch’s later paintings for decades to come.

This extraordinary chess set is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and opulence. Featuring a black and white marble board encased in a turreted silver castle base, it opens to reveal drawers of courtly medieval figures—hand-carved in ivory, adorned in sterling silver, and set with jewels.

One of only three ever made in the early 1970s by a master silversmith from Hanau, Germany. Previously commissioned by the famed Hunt family and David Orgell of Rodeo Drive.

A true collector’s piece that bridges the world of fine art, history, and luxury.

Step into the excitement of Chicago’s Gilded Age with Washington Park Club by Franz Dvorak. This masterful painting captures a late 19th-century horse racing event at the prestigious Washington Park Race Track. The scene is alive with a fashionable crowd, including notable figures such as Harry D. Cummings and W.W. Gurley, can you spot them?

Dvorak, a Czech artist renowned for his portraits and genre scenes, studied at prestigious academies in Prague, Vienna, and Munich. His talent brought him to the United States in the late 1880s, where he exhibited in major cities, including Chicago. His work earned international recognition, even securing a place at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool.

Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze (1816–1868) was a German-born American history painter, best known for Washington Crossing the Delaware (1851). Associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting, Leutze often used historical subjects to convey political commentary.

This painting depicts the final party of King Charles II of England, known as The Merry Monarch, whose reign (1660–1685) saw ongoing struggles between the monarchy and Parliament. On February 1, 1685, after a brief recovery from illness, Charles indulged in one last evening of excess at the Whitehall apartments of his mistress, Louise de Kérouaille. The night was filled with music, gambling, and the company of courtiers and mistresses. Historian Thomas Babington Macaulay described the scene: “The palace had seldom presented a gayer or more scandalous appearance... The King sat there chatting and toying with three women, whose charms were the boast, and whose vices were the disgrace, of three nations.” By morning, Charles suffered a stroke, and four days later, he died—marking the end of his reign and his legendary revelry.

Leutze used The Last Soirée as a political statement on the power of kings, displaying it alongside his painting Cromwell and Milton, which depicted Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of the English Commonwealth. Together, these works explored themes of virtue versus sensual pleasure, portraying The Last Soirée as a critique of royal excess and the perceived ineffectiveness of the monarchy and Parliament.

The painting was exhibited at the 1858 Munich Exhibition and later sold at Christie’s London in 1859. Once part of the collections of the Newark Museum of Art and J. Ackerman Coles, it has been missing for over 100 years.
