an uncased post-war cdv-sized plate of noted Confederate artist Nicola Marschall with unidentified pard, with two turn-of-the-century color post cards of Marion Female Senimary where Marschall had a studio. Nicola Marschall was born in Prussia in 1829. He moved to Mobile, Alabama in 1849, later moving to Marion, and established a portrait studio. He became a member of the faculty at Marion Female Seminary. Nicola Marschall is credited with designing the original "Stars and Bars" flag at the request of Mrs. Napoleon Lockett, related by marriage to then Alabama Governor Andrew Barry Moore It is also said that Marschall designed the "gray uniform of the Southern Army," although this symbolic claim is arguably more difficult to attribute. Nicola Marschall served briefly in the Southern Army as a draftsman under Lt. Colonel Samuel Lockett in Company B, 2nd Regiment, Confederate Engineer Troops and his self-portrait hangs in the "White House of the Confederacy, Montgomery." Likely his most famous portrait is that of General Nathan Bedford Forrest. After the war, Marschall moved to Louisville, Kentucky. In 1876 he won a medal from the International Exhibition in Philadelphia for his portrait work. Two of Marschall's signed works were sold in our October Fine Arts Sale. Provenance: Descended in the family of the consignor. Condition: Tintype VG with minor bends. Postcards G.
