Extracts from Alfred Jacob Miller’s original text, which accompanied his images of Native Americans, are included below for reference. These words, which shaped how Miller’s contemporaries viewed the watercolors, reveal the racism and sexism embedded in 19th-century exploration and colonization of the western part of what is today the United States.

"The woman in front has her papoose. It is hung to the saddle bow by a strip of buckskin. The child is attached to the board and secured by buckskin highly ornamented and laced in front. If any one thing gives an Indian woman pleasure, above another, it must be the elaboration of this affair. Porcupine quills stained with all manner of colours, quite indelible, and of beautiful patterns, are carried down and across the front; now if she can procure some small bells to fasten on the guard piece of the head, the arrangement is almost complete." A.J. Miller, extracted from "The West of Alfred Jacob Miller" (1837).

In July 1858 William T. Walters commissioned 200 watercolors at twelve dollars apiece from Baltimore born artist Alfred Jacob Miller. These paintings were each accompanied by a descriptive text, and were delivered in installments over the next twenty-one months and ultimately were bound in three albums. Transcriptions of field-sketches drawn during the 1837 expedition that Miller had undertaken to the annual fur-trader's rendezvous in the Green River Valley (in what is now western Wyoming), these watercolors are a unique record of the closing years of the western fur trade.

A Franciscan Monk Preaching ca. 1515-1525 (Renaissance) by museado

Within a spacious and unadorned hall, a Franciscan monk preaches to a group of ecclesiastics and laymen. In accordance with Renaissance social hierarchies, women are seated on the ground while men are seated on benches or standing. The monk looming over the crowd from a simple wooden pulpit gestures upward toward God, the source of his authority, and rests his other hand on a piece of paper marked with a red seal. The paper is likely a papal bull, or decree, investing the monk’s arguments with the authority of the church.

The monk’s attention seems to be directed specifically to the three clergymen (two bishops and a cardinal) seated on the bench in the foreground. The bishop in green is directly engaged with the monk and the two seem to be debating. Exactly what is being discussed is not clear, though it has been suggested that it is the institution of the Monte di Pietà, a charitable organization akin to a pawnshop that was founded by the Franciscans in the late 1400s. One prominent Franciscan, Bernardino da Feltre, is recorded as having preached in favor of the Monte’s foundation in 1491 in the town of Faenza. This painting, executed in or near Faenza around 1520, could depict this very debate. However, the monk’s features don’t resemble those of Bernardino’s as represented in the surviving portraits of him.

As indicated by its small size and horizontal orientation, the picture was originally part of a predella, the lowest register of an altarpiece. Predellas were often illustrated with scenes from the lives of the figures represented in the altarpiece’s central compartments. This painting, together with its companion panel depicting the “Saint Anthony of Padua Taking the Habit of the Franciscan Order” (Walters 37.547), must have come from a now-unidentified altarpiece in a Franciscan church.

Women Reclining with Leashed Dog (from Laurence Sterne, A Sentimental Journey, 1768) mid 19th century by museado

Alfred Jacob Miller was a prolific sketcher. He filled many journals with drawings and captions from the time he was studying in Paris and Rome (1833) until the 1870's. The varied interests of Miller are clearly reflected in these sketches: rural sites, studies after Old Master paintings, illustrations of literature, and comical scenes and characters.

This sketch comes from the family album of L. Vernon Miller, which contains works that have passed down through the Miller family directly from the artist.

Pendant Icon with New Testament Scenes 18th century (Early Modern) by museado

This small triptych icon is fitted within a silver frame and was meant to be worn on the chest as a pendant. The outside of the frame is engraved with floral ornament and has a small relief Crucifix in the middle. In the top register on the inside, the four evangelists surround an image of the Holy Trinity. On their two sides is the Annunciation. The scenes that follow are, from left to right, the Nativity, Presentation of Christ in the Temple, Baptism, Transfiguration, Raising of Lazarus, Entry into Jerusalem, Crucifixion, Resurrection, Ascension, Pentecost, Dormition of the Virgin, and Birth of the Virgin. These are framed by an image of the Tree of Jesse: Jesse, the father of King David, is shown reclining at it the bottom; from him spring branches that contain medallions with images of the Old Testament ancestors of Christ.

Relief of Striding Warriors 300–200 BCE by museado

This carved limestone relief depicts two warriors striding to the right, one wearing a broad traveler's hat called a petasos and the other a Corinthian helmet. Each wears a short cloak called a chlamys over his left arm (now missing on the righthand warrior). The left warrior looks back, perhaps toward a horseman, since a small fragment of a horse’s foreleg remains behind his knee. The strong diagonals of the warriors contrasted with the flowing drapery of their cloaks demonstrates a dynamism characteristic of Hellenistic relief sculpture.

Overall: 32.7 cm (12 7/8 in.)

Portrait of the Artist 1874 by museado

The son of a miniaturist, Baker spent almost his whole life in New York City, except for a trip to Italy in around 1846. He studied at the National Academy of Design. He was one of the most sought after portraitists of his time, but also painted ideal pieces, such as "Love at First Sight," and "The May Queen" (present location unknown). The Walters Art Museum owns 8 works by this artist; his works can also be found at the Brooklyn Museum of Art.

This self-portrait of the artist was acquired by William T. Walters during the artist's lifetime, and he seems to have found favor with the collector. He also portrayed Mrs. Ellen Harper Walters, William's wife, and their daughter, Jennie (see WAM 37.2637 and WAM 37.1207).

Url of Photo: flic.kr/p/JsxEVA

Description: This picture is of my children when we were visiting a unique outdoor museum of plants and trees. I snapped this picture when they were up in a tree-house.

What editing was done with the photo?

Severe cropping to help get rid of some of the external noise from the other children, trees and flowers. I attempted to adjust the color and shadowing to help bring the features of my children out to help bring them more to light and focus of the picture.

How did the photo meet the requirements?

I believe that this photo met the requirements for a lines photo due to all of the lines that were evident through the construction of the tree house. The bottom lines point up towards my children, the focus point, and the lines that they are putting their faces through, I believe, helps bring more focus to them because they are the wildcard in the pictures and the ‘change’ in the lines that are present.

What was the value of this assignment?

Looking at the original picture and comparing it to the edited picture really brings the focus on my children rather than all of the noise beside, under and above them. So this assignment helps with realizing where the true focus is in a more busy picture as well as to help me realize about where the lines are pointing to try and get the better angle with those lines.

Left Arm Elements from a Boy's Armor (Lower Cannon, Couter, Rerebrace) c. 1560 (some modern) by museado

These elements once belonged to a full suit of armor that would have been made for a young boy. Decorated with etching, embossing, and gilding, the original suit would have been impressive. Dressing your sons in small custom suits of armor was popular with the wealthiest nobles. They would have been worn for parades and ceremonial occasions and once outgrown were often kept as mementos. Made for the left arm, the rerebrace or upper cannon protected the upper arm, the couter the elbow, and the lower cannon the forearm.

Germany, Augsburg, mostly 17th Century (some modern)

etched and lightly embossed steel with traces of gilding, leather

Overall: 17 cm (6 11/16 in.)

Did you know...

Small-scale suits of armor would help prepare a young boy for knighthood.

Before Khujasta can leave for a clandestine meeting with her lover, she is stopped by Tuti the parrot who begins to tell her the story of a group of small animals who joined together to overcome an elephant. By the time the parrot’s tale is over, the sun has risen and Khujasta is unable to leave.
