In the recently published book FOLK ART IN MAINE: UNCOMMON TREASURES, 1750-1925 (Camden, Maine: Down East, 2008) there is on p. 45 a handsome portrait of Captain Ansel Farnham (1794-1873) of Farnham Point, East Boothbay, Maine, that is in the Colby College Museum of Art. The portrait was painted about 1850.
This fine portrait should be made known to the Farnham family. I am scanning it in case any of the descendants might like a copy by email. Someone in the Farnham family ought to have it--it is too good to be missed by the family. It may not have extensive genealogy value, but it certainly does have a whole lot of family and historic value.
My email address can be found by clicking on my underlined name above. Please respond by emailing me directly and not by posting a reply on this genforum site, which I might not see.
If it were a portrait of a Pease family member, I'd certainly want someone to do the same for me.
