Description: Produced by Seymour Lindsey between 1876-1927, this paper cut-out depicts two trees, two dogs, a rabbit, and birds in the trees and flying above. The white and gray cut paper is mounted to a blue background and is stored in a frame under glass. A handwritten note on the back of the piece reads "#158 from Harry Hartman 1965 / From Garth Oberlander Collection / Oct. 25, 26, 1968 Lot #495." Lindsay (1848-1927) was a self-taught folk artist who was born and lived near Lexington, Ohio, in Richland County.

Description: Dated ca. 1930-1943, this photograph appears to be a bridge in Lexington Township, in Stark County, Ohio. This photograph is one of the many visual materials collected for use in the Ohio Guide. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Works Progress Administration by executive order to create jobs for the large numbers of unemployed laborers, as well as artists, musicians, actors, and writers. The Federal Arts Program, a sector of the Works Progress Administration, included the Federal Writers’ Project, one of the primary goals of which was to complete the America Guide series, a series of guidebooks for each state which included state history, art, architecture, music, literature, and points of interest to the major cities and tours throughout the state. Work on the Ohio Guide began in 1935 with the publication of several pamphlets and brochures. The Reorganization Act of 1939 consolidated the Works Progress Administration and other agencies into the Federal Works Administration, and the Federal Writers’ Project became the Federal Writers’ Project in Ohio. The final product was published in 1940 and went through several editions. The Ohio Guide Collection consists of 4,769 photographs collected for use in Ohio Guide and other publications of the Federal Writers’ Project in Ohio from 1935-1939. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This image shows the front entrance of the Somerset Government Building in Perry County. This is an example of a first generation courthouse. It was used as a courthouse until 1851 when the county seat was officially moved to New Lexington, after several votes and Ohio Supreme Court rulings. It represents both Federal and Italianate architectural styles. There is an inscription above the entrance that reads "Let Justice be done if the heavens fall" that was originally supposed to read "Let Justice be done though the heavens fall." It is said that the stone masons ran out of room when engraving and had to shorten the inscription. View on Ohio Memory.
