Archive of Autograph Letters Signed, Ephemera, and Printed Documents of Adelaide Johnson (1859-1955), Feminist & Sculptor of Famous Bust of Susan B. Anthony
Washington DC, 1929-1938. Documents. Archive includes 10 SIGNED Handwritten Letters (29 pages) of various sizes dated January 1929 to February 1938, including one on Susan B. Anthony Memorial Committee stationery; several other SIGNED pieces including a postcard of her Susan B. Anthony sculpture and a multi-page typed PROCLAMATIONS BY STATE GOVERNORS OF SUSAN B. ANTHONY DAY, February 15th, 1937, that is INSCRIBED at the top of the first page: "This great woman--Susan B. Anthony--was a personal and dully [sic] appreciative friend for more than twenty years" and SIGNED "Adelaide Johnson"; and various pieces of ephemera. Most of the letters are composed on her 230 Maryland Avenue, N.E. Capitol Hill printed letterhead. One of the letters, from 1930, includes a black & white snapshot identified on the back as taken in 1929, described by Ms. Johnson, as the “Cathedral Like caverns in the quarry of a marble mountain at Carrara Italy. I had not actually visited the quarries where the wonderful marble comes from since 1888 so took one day for this. On the right is Cavalier Beretta Who had charge of my work-myself. Signor Tabricotti who owns the mountain. Last a young Italian sculptor from Boston they marveled that I could clamber through the caverns.” The letters to James H. Post chattily and mercurially describe the ups and downs of a starving artist who is struggling to continue her artistic career while existing in often extremely dire circumstances. Post (1859-1938) business leader and philanthropist, supported her through the years, evidenced here by a handwritten list in his hand titled “Mrs. Adelaide Johnson” which documents the financial contribution he made to her support, year-by-year, from 1913 to 1928, as well as a few retained copies of his letters. Another page from his notes lists the three mortgages on her property. Contents of the letters include trying to work out her precarious financial situation; news of her attempts to sell marbles, get commissions, travel, help other people and causes, and notes regarding the publicity that her work is receiving -- especially the famous Susan B. Anthony bust she carved. The letter file ends abruptly in 1938, most probably due to Post's death and discontinuance of support. Included are a postcard of the bust, dated 1938 and SIGNED with a short greeting by her on the back; news clippings regarding Johnson’s works; a copy of the Proclamations by State Governors of Susan B. Anthony Day 15 February 1937, sent from the Susan B. Anthony Memorial Committee, Mrs. Robert Adamson Chairman, with a short note at top from Johnson; a typed press announcement from that Committee dated 1 January 1938 sent “To Editors, Publicists, Radio Program Directors, Commentators, etc-.” which notes the materials available from the Committee for the Susan B. Anthony Day -- including the USPS postage stamp issued which used the Anthony portrait modelled by Adelaide Johnson. Also, with three issues of PROGRESS. ORGAN OF THE INTERNATIONAL REFORM FEDERATION featuring Johnson sculptures and stories about the pieces. Good to Very Good condition with expected wear Johnson attempted to establish herself as a world-class sculptor, travelling back and forth between Europe and the United States many times, most often making her home in Washington, D.C. Beyond art, Johnson participated in various reform movements and organizations, but her most enduring commitment was to the women’s suffrage movement. When she first moved to Washington, D.C. in the mid-1880s, Johnson rented a room from Ellen Sheldon, the secretary of the National Woman Suffrage Association. Through this early connection, Johnson found her lifelong calling as “the sculptor of suffrage.” In 1886 Johnson sculpted the first bust ever made of suffrage pioneer Susan B. Anthony. In 1920 Johnson received her most important commission. Alva Belmont, the principal benefactor of the National Woman’s Party (NWP), had previously bought Johnson’s personal replicas of the 1892 busts of Anthony, Stanton, and Mott, as well as commissioned her own bust. Then, in April 1920 NWP, leader Alice Paul commissioned Johnson to remake the suffrage busts in celebration of congressional passage, and soon ratification, of the Nineteenth Amendment. Johnson decided to craft the three busts as one giant statue, weighing more than seven tons. Emboldened by the success of the Portrait Monument, Johnson used money that patron James Post loaned her to buy a home at 230 Maryland Avenue, N.E. in Washington, D.C. in 1926. She planned to live upstairs and work on her “galley of eminent women” downstairs. For years Johnson lived on next to nothing; she rarely ate and did not heat her home. By 1939 the eighty-year-old artist was threatened with eviction and she began destroying her marble busts with a sledgehammer. Adelaide Johnson came of age during the golden era of American sculpture, when government agencies commissioned statues of presidents and Civil War generals to adorn parks and museums across the country. In this era of civic commemoration, Johnson sought a permanent place for women. In 1996 women’s groups raised the funds to move the Portrait Monument upstairs to the Capitol Rotunda; several other busts by Johnson are held by the Smithsonian; many more were lost or destroyed. Though her lifelong dream to create a “gallery of eminent women” never materialized, Johnson’s legacy lives on in the opera THE MOTHER OF US ALL by Virgil Thomson with a libretto by Gertrude Stein, which prominently features the dedication of a statue of Susan B. Anthony much like the one made by Johnson.

Hand-Addressed Envelope to Her Sister
Autograph. An envelope (6" x 3-1/4") with a lengthy printed statement by The Citizens' Suffrage Association. Although not signed by her, it is addressed in the hand of Susan B. Anthony to her younger sister: "Miss Mary S. Anthony/Rochester -- N. Y./U. S. America." On the side of the envelope is written "Zurich/Apr 23rd 83," likely in one of the sisters' hands. Fine Mary Stafford Anthony was a suffrage activist in her own right. Her interest in women's rights, in fact, preceded that of her sister. On August 2, 1848, she attended the Adjourned Convention in Rochester of the First Woman's Rights Convention and, together with her father and mother, signed the Declaration of Sentiments. She was instrumental in establishing the Women's Political Club (later renamed the Political Equality Club) in the 1880s. In 1893, she was elected corresponding secretary for the New York State Woman Suffrage Association, and in 1904 when the International Woman Suffrage Alliance was formed, Susan B. Anthony was declared its first member and Miss Mary Anthony was unanimously declared its second.

Smallwood established the Temperance, Industrial, and Collegiate Institute in Claremont on 12 October 1892 with the intent to instill "Temperance and Morality, Industry, and Economy, Intelligence, and Race Pride" in American Blacks. He began with fewer than ten students. The school's campus covered more than 65 acres along the James River and served boys and girls from Virginia as well as other states, closing in 1928.

The Life and Work of Susan B. Anthony Including Public Addresses, Her Own Letters and Many from Her Contemporaries During Fifty Years. A Story of the Evolution of the Status of Woman
Indianapolis & Kansas City, The Bowen-Merrill Co. 1899 & 1898. First Edition. Hardcover. The first two volumes of three, with the last not published until 1908, two years after Anthony's death. Original full brown-burgundy morocco leather with a gilt medallion profile portrait of Anthony on the front panel of each volume, recently and sympathetically rebacked with similar color morocco leather; all edges gilt. Illustrated with frontispiece portraits of Anthony and other plates and facsimiles. Each volume is INSCRIBED and SIGNED by this principal leader of the woman suffrage movement in the United States on the front endpapers to another well-known suffragist. In the first volume, Anthony has written: "Yes indeed, Mrs. Julia L. Langdon Barber/I will write your name upon this/fly-leaf together with my own for/the benefit of the grand-daughter -- when/she is grown up to appreciate the worth/of each--/Julia L. Langdon Barber--/Belmont -- Washington, D. C.--/Susan B. Anthony -- Rochester N.Y./May 22, 1901--." Anthony has also INSCRIBED the second volume: "Julia L. Langdon Barber--/Belmont -- Washington, D. C.--/Susan B. Anthony/17 Madison Street -- Rochester N.Y." Books inscribed by this great American have become quite scarce. Fine copies with a fine association Julia L. Langdon was a prominent suffragist in Washington as well as one of the city's premier hostesses of the Golden Age. She married Amzi Lorenzo Barber in 1871; she was the daughter of a prominent N.Y. land developer, and her husband, who had been in charge of the normal department at Howard University, tried his own hand at developments in Washington. He developed the highly restricted Le Droit Park neighborhood just off Florida Avenue, and was soon to be the owner of Barber Asphalt Company; he became known as the "Asphalt King," and by the 1880s his firm was the world's largest supplier of asphalt. Barber was to later buy the infant Locomobile enterprise from Francis and Freelan Stanley in 1898; by 1900, over 1600 cars were sold, but the car's indifferent sales in future years eventually stripped Barber of much of his personal wealth. In 1880 the Barbers bought 120 acres along Florida Avenue between 13th and 14th Streets, where their lavish Queen Anne home, "Belmont," was built (It was torn down in 1915 after the deaths of Amzi and Julia Barber to make way for the Clifton Terrace development.). Julia L. Langdon Barber was a Life Member of the National American Women Suffrage Association and a longtime friend of Anthony; after the 1902 National American Convention held at the First Presbyterian Church in Washington, Anthony spent the following week at the Barber home. In the third volume of Harper's book, she is cited, along with Mrs. John Henderson and Anthony, in the incorporation in 1900 of the Standing Fund to help with the work of enfranchising women. Barber was also a friend of Mark Twain, whom she met on the steamship "Quaker City" in 1867 during the trip which Twain chronicled in THE INNOCENTS ABROAD. Barber had taken a leading part in various public movements and was an ardent suffragist and a leading member of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. She was long the terror of cruelly inclined drivers in Washington. She often took her stand on top of the high tower of Belmont which overlooks a wide range of the city and watched for horses which were being treated cruelly. She always kept an automobile at her door and frequently hurried in it to aid of the suffering horses. She appeared in police court a number of times against men who mistreated animals.

The Life and Work of Susan B. Anthony Including Public Addresses, Her Own Letters and Many from Her Contemporaries During Fifty Years. A Story of the Evolution of the Status of Woman
Indianapolis & Kansas City, The Bowen-Merrill Co. 1899. First Edition. Hardcover. The first two volumes of three, with the last not published until 1908. Original green cloth with a gilt portrait on the front covers and gilt lettering on the spines. Illustrated with a frontispiece portrait of Anthony and other plates and facsimiles. Each volume is INSCRIBED and SIGNED on 14 December 1898 by this principal leader of the woman suffrage movement in the United States on the front endpapers to Mrs. Sarah Anthony Burtis, Susan B. Anthony's cousin and childhood teacher, who assumed the post of acting secretary at the Rochester Women's Rights Convention of 1848. Each inscription is dated 14 December 1898 in Rochester, N.Y. Volume I: “To my teacher at Battenville,/Washington County N.Y. in the school-room/of the new brick house -- the winter of 1836/and to my father’s cousin Daniel/Anthony’s daughter -- Sarah Anthony Burtis --/as well as to one of the secretaries of the first/Woman’s Rights’ Conventions held in Rochester Aug. 2, 1848/on her 88th birthday December 14 - 1898. With the/many memories of the olden days – from/Susan B. Anthony/Rochester – NY/Dec. 14. 1898.” Volume II: “To my cousin & early teacher/Sarah Anthony Burtis--/with the love & pleasant memories of/Susan B. Anthony/Rochester N. Y./Dec. 14. 1898.” Burtis is mentioned three times in Harper's book, including this: “On December 23 [1896] she [SBA] went to Niagara Falls with her stenographer to secure reminiscences from her cousin, Sarah Anthony Burtis, aged eighty-six, who was a teacher in the home school at Battenvile over sixty years before” (Harper, LIFE AND WORK OF SUSAN B. ANTHONY, page 896). Excellent association. Hinges rather clumsily repaired with small loss of paper at gutter of the second volume, not affecting the inscription; ink a bit light but very clear. Covers rubbed and somewhat soiled. Overall about Very Good In a 1903 letter to Dodd Mead & Co. Harper detailed the unsatisfactory arrangement she and Anthony had with Bowen-Merrill. According to her there were only 225 bound copies and 858 unbound sets of sheets of the first edition. "As Miss Anthony is not likely to live very long, being over 83 and very feeble, she and I both thought it would be better for me to purchase her rights in the book, and I have done so, and am now sole owner of it.
