Oil on canvas landscape of Cedar Spring Farm, Fermanagh Township, Juniata County, Pennsylvania, signed William Sherlock, 21 1/2" x 36". According to family tradition, this portrait of Cedar Spring Farm was commissioned by its owner, Rudolph Gingerich, a civil war aide-de-camp to General Meade at Gettysburg and a lumber baron of Tyrone, Blair County, Pennsylvania. William Sherlock was the son of the Reverend Thomas Sherlock, a Methodist preacher in Mifflintown in the 1870s. It was used as the basis of a print of the farm that appeared in the 1877 Atlas of Juniata County which is illustrated in Don Yoder, Discovering American Folklife, Essays on Folk Culture and the Pennsylvania Dutch, p. 187. Provenance: Rudolph Gingerich family, Centre County, Pennsylvania, by descent to Don Yoder and William Woys Weaver. According to Yoder, the painting had been given to him at the age of ten years and had remained in his possession until its sale in 2010; David A. Schorsch and Eileen M. Smiles
