- Lot Description
Colonial America, ca. 19th century CE. Label on verso reads, "Abby Williams Hubbard (Mrs. Russell Hubbard) of Norwich Connecticut. My Great Grandmother. Signed Juliet B. Appleton. Nee Edwards" - Stamped "Prepared by Theo Kelley- Rear 35 Wooster S. New York". A very large, formal portrait of a matron - one Abby Williams Hubbard according to a label on the verso - proudly sitting on a red chair and presented in 3/4 view. She wears a black dress with a white lace bonnet, collar, and cuffs - and gazes directly at the viewer with a rather serious expression, her features those of an older matriarch with a crease between her brows and deep nasolabial folds flanking her tiny pursed pink lips. The portrait is set in a lovely giltwood frame. Size: 36" L x 29" W (91.4 cm x 73.7 cm); 39.5" L x 32.5" W (100.3 cm x 82.6 cm) framed
Who was Abby Williams Hubbard? According to Howard Case whose wife is a Hubbard descendant, Russell Hubbard (1785-1857) was married to Abby Coit who may be the same person as Abby Williams. His source for this information is: Harlan Page Hubbard, "One Thousand Years of Hubbard History, 866 to 1895", NYC, p. 190 and Frances M. Caulkins, "History of Norwich CT from It's Possession by the Indians to 1866", published 1874, p. 581.
While it is difficult to find information about Abby Hubbard, records about Russell Hubbard are available. Russell Hubbard's father was the first publisher of a newspaper called the Norwich Courier. Russell became a partner with his father and in 1808, when his father passed away, he became the sole proprietor of the Courier. He continued publishing it until 1822. In addition, he ran a bookselling and publishing business. In 1837, he joined forces with his brother Amos Hallam Hubbard to create the firm of R. & A. H. Hubbard which continued until Russell died in 1857. Russell Hubbard was also interested in establishing an institute of learning and became a generous contributor to the Norwich Free Academy. The Hubbard Rhetorical Society is associated with the Academy.
The Russell Hubbard House (built in 1826) is located at 161 Broadway in Norwich, Connecticut. Follow this link to see the Federal Style home and just imagine this lovely portrait in the halls of this historic house.
