John Ham portrait, 1852
Item 26528 info
Maine Historical Society
A portrait of John Ham, part of a pair painted by an unidentified artist of Ham and his wife, Mary, in 1852.
The history of this portrait pair is lost. All that is known was written by the artist on the canvas to record the age of John and Mary at the time the painting was made.
Why did the Hams have their portraits painted? An anniversary? The marriage of a child or grandchild? Some other desire for a legacy?
