Painting Seen
At First Fair
One Exhibit 75 Years Ago
' . Back Again; Owned by
Salem Resident
.A picture which won i blue
ribbon at the firit state fair ever
held in Oregon will be seen at
the Diamond Jubilee state fair
here, opening next week, and so
lar as can now be ascertained
' will be the only article shown
which was at the first state fair
in Oregon City 75 years ago.
This historic picture, in its or
; iginal gilt frame of real gold leaf
' has been loaned to the state fair
art department for occasion of
the Diamond Jubilee by Miss Ga
brielle Clark, Salem route three,
box 355, who, now owns It.
It was painted by Isaac W. Mil
ler, an employe of Miss Clark's
lather, the. late J. C. Clark, and
presented by, him to- his wife,
Nancy Clark, -as a Christmas gift.
The blue ribbon, it' received at
the first state lair is still at
tached to the back of the picture
as it was originally placed there.
The ribbon is small, no more
than a quarter of an Inch wide
and four inches long, and bears
no lettering, but despite its age
till shows a pale blue.
Old Type Water Color
The picture i" is described by
Mrs, W. Carlton Smith, superin
tendent of the state fair art de
partment into whose care Miss
Ciark has given the picture, an
an old type water color, rather
a drawing than a painting. . :
The design is a floral wreath
enclosing a seashell of very deli
cate shadings in the grays. Col
orings are definite and natural
istic. It is exquisite in its sim
plicity, the treatment being both
naive and childlike.
' "This picture is unique in that
it is the only painting of which
we know that it was shown at
the first fair." Mrs. Smth states,
adding that the art department
will be pleased to have any pos
sible information regarding the
painting.
The water color will be given a
place of honor in the art depart
ment during the fair. It is 20
inches wide and 23 inches long.
It is one of the pieces of art
and antiques from the J. C. Clark
old home, which stood until re
cent years on Chemeketa .and
14th streets here. The Clark
family is numbered among the
early pioneers of Marion county,
arriving here in 1847. -
