- Miniature by John A. McDougall Watercolor of Edgar Allan Poe [thumbnail] (fig. 11) Miniature by John A. McDougall [Illustration on page 29] This skillfully painted watercolor is the work of John Alexander McDougall (1810/1811-1894), a talented miniaturist who spent much of his career working in Newark, New Jersey. Trained at the National Academy of Design, McDougall worked at various times in New Orleans, Charleston, and Saratoga Springs. By 1839 he had settled in Newark, at 33 Market Street, but for several years thereafter continued to maintain a succession of studios in nearby New York City, enjoying “a wide acquaintance and many clients.”(42) McDougall’s popularity seems to have been well deserved: four examples of his early work now preserved at the New-York Historical Society reflect a level of craftsmanship attained only by the better miniaturists of the period. During the 1840s he also began to experiment with photography, and about 1846 opened his own daguerreotype parlor in Newark. McDougall’s interest in daguerreotypy now seems rather ironic — it was the advent of this inexpensive portrait medium that would lead to the decline, and ultimately to the obsolescence, of miniature portrait painting. Although McDougall would continue to paint miniatures for the next three decades (he was, in fact, one of the few American artists to do so), his dabblings with photography evidently had an unfavorable effect on his painting. After 1850 his work began to lose much of its earlier deftness and delicacy, becoming instead clumsier and more photographic. By 1880 he had abandoned miniature painting altogether, his artistic abilities sadly reduced to “touching up and coloring photographs he had taken.”(43) According to his son, Walter Hugh, McDougall was a likable, learned man who “knew everybody in New York worth the knowing” — over the years his studio would become a haven for such notables as Thomas Dunn English, Thomas Edison, and the painters George Inness, Thomas Moran, and Asher B. Durand.(44) The younger McDougall also asserted that his father had once painted Edgar Allan Poe, and while this miniature of the poet (fig. 11) cannot be authenticated beyond all question, there is strong circumstantial evidence to suggest that the portrait was indeed painted from life. The verifiable history of the likeness begins in Newark, about 1910, when the watercolor surfaced in the hands of Mrs. John A. Crockett, a cousin of McDougall’s wife. It was first reproduced in the Century Magazine for June 1910, accompanied by the following caption: AN UNPUBLISHED PORTRAIT OF POE The miniature of Edgar Allan Poe from which the above is made, and which has not before been published, was painted from life by J. A. McDougall, in New York City, about 1846, three years before the poet’s death. The artist was a friend of Poe and other literary men of that time. The portrait was given as a wedding present by McDougall to John A. Crockett, from whose widow, now living at Newark, N.J., we have obtained permission to reproduce it. — THE EDITOR. http://www.eapoe.org/papers/misc1921/deas105a.htm#fig11
