Message from the President GeneralThe founders of The Society of the Cincinnati dedicated their organization to perpetuating the memory of theAmerican War for Independence. In recent years our Society has focused on this great purpose with renewed energy.This report documents the accomplishments of our Society during the twenty-four months ending June 30, 2008.

Special circumstances have led us to present a biennial report for fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008 rather than two separateannual publications. At the conclusion of our Society’s 2007 audit we learned that our long-time auditor, Lee,Hendricks & Co., L.L.C., was closing its doors forever. After a careful search, our treasurer and audit committee recommended that our Society retain a new firm, Councilor, Buchanan & Mitchell, L.L.C., to conduct our FY2008audit.

Their first task was to review the previous audit. They quickly determined that it had been properly and accuratelyconducted, but they found enough in it to revise and restate that we decided it was prudent to delay publishing the2007 data until it could be combined with the 2008 audit results to produce a fuller picture of our finances.

The different findings of the two firms are not substantial. They simply reflect the different approaches auditors cantake to similar materials. Lee, Hendricks & Co. started auditing the Society’s finances when our programmatic expenditures—for library, museum and educational programming—were a much less significant part of our financialactivities than they are today. Councilor, Buchanan & Mitchell found us to be an increasingly active and sophisticatednon-profit institution with a wide range of growing programs. The Society is a different institution, in some ways,than it was just a few years ago.

The result is the biennial report now before you. The success of our efforts can be measured by our progress in realizing the Society’s Strategic Vision. That progress is evident in the growth of our collections, the way we care forthem, and by the expanding reach of our library, museum and education programs. As this report makes abundantlyclear, this progress was made possible by the generosity of our members. To all of those who have supported our workduring this exciting period in the long history of our Society, I offer my deepest gratitude.

Sincerely,

G. Forrest PragoffPresident General

The following principles shall be immutable and form the basis

of the Society of the Cincinnati:

An incessant attention to preserve inviolate those exalted rights

and liberties of human nature, for which they have fought and

bled, and without which the high rank of a rational being is a

curse instead of a blessing.

An unalterable determination to promote and cherish,

between the respective States, that union and national honor so

essentially necessary to their happiness, and the future dignity

of the American empire.

To render permanent the cordial affection subsisting among the

officers. This spirit will dictate brotherly kindness in all things,

and particularly extend to the most substantial acts of

beneficence, according to the ability of the Society, towards

those officers and their families, who unfortunately may be

under the necessity of receiving it.

Corporate officers and members of the Board of Directors of The Societyof the Cincinnati, Inc., also serve as general officers, delegates and alternates on the Standing Committee of the unincorporated Society of theCincinnati, the history body established in 1783. The president general of the unincorporated Society serves as president of the corporation, and the other general officers of the unincorporated Societyhold parallel positions in the corporation.

Past presidents general of The Society of the Cincinnati and other pastgeneral officers are accorded seat and voice, but no vote, in the meetings ofthe Board of Directors of The Society of the Cincinnati, Inc., and theStanding Committee of The Society of the Cincinnati.

The generous support of members facilitated remarkable progress toward realizing the Society’s StrategicVision during the two years embraced by this report. The Society’s collections grew in size and quality, andmore people encountered them in our magnificent library, our growing array of public programs, and a wonderful series of exhibitions than ever before. This remarkable growth was made possible by our members,whose unrestricted gifts through our Annual Giving campaigns and restricted gifts for special purposesreached record levels.

It is difficult to single out the most notable acquisition from the riches added to our collections during thistime, but a few stand out. The first is the manuscript by an original member of the French Society, AdmiralClaude-Francois Renart, comte d’Amblimont for his published work, Tactique Navale, ou Traité sur lesEvolutions, sur les Signaux et sur les Mouvemens de Guerre (Paris, 1788). We often neglect the fact that ourRevolutionary War was a naval war between the two greatest navies of the early modern world. Admirald’Amblimont’s treatise on naval tactics documents the rapidly evolving conduct of warfare at sea, which wasas important to the outcome of our War for Independence as warfare on land. The manuscript was a gift tothe Society from Thomas Sumter Tisdale Jr., the chairman of our library committee and a member of theSouth Carolina Society. A second landmark acquisition is the manuscript diary of an American officer, keptduring the Yorktown campaign. This diary, which provides a unique view of the decisive campaign of the war,was the gift of Stephen Payson Shaw of the Connecticut Society.

It is even more difficult to single out the most notable addition to the Society Robert Charles LawrenceFergusson Collection, which is supported each year by gifts from a member who wishes to remain anonymous.John Jones’ Plain Concise Practical Remarks on the Treatment of Wounds and Fractures: to Which Is Added, a Short Appendix on Camp and Military Hospitals: Principally Designed for the Use of Young Military Surgeons, in North-America, printed in New York in 1775, is one of the first works on military medicine published inAmerican, and a reminder of a grim side of a long and brutal war. A manuscript copy of Major General WilliamHowe’s Method for Exercise of the Light Infantry, transcribed in England in 1774, provides abundant evidencethat one of the leading British generals in the war was an important innovator in army tactics. But my personal favorite is one of the most unusual items in the collection: Thomas Desaguliers’ Experiment with aNew York Rifle and a Smooth Bored Gun of the Same Length, Weight and Bore, Woolwich the 21st May 1779.This oversized book consists of a series of charts documenting experiments conducted at the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich comparing the accuracy of British smooth bore muskets with that of anAmerican-made rifle—clear (and I confess, very satisfying) evidence that American riflemen were getting the better of the British.

In addition to these remarkable additions to our library, the Society acquired several important works for itsmuseum collections. Among the most wonderful and unexpected is an early nineteenth-century oil portrait ofCapt. Theodosius Fowler, presented to the Society by Ms. Frances Kellogg Stevenson, a descendant of Fowlerthrough his daughter. Captain Fowler served in the New York Continental line through most of theRevolutionary War, beginning as an ensign in the First New York Regiment in February 1776 and ending hisservice as a captain in June 1783. In between he saw action at the battles of Long Island, Saratoga,Monmouth, in Sullivan’s Indian campaign, and at Yorktown. Captain Fowler was original member of the New York State Society of the Cincinnati and proudly wears his Society of the Cincinnati Eagle in the portrait.Ms. Stevenson had no personal connection to the Society when she made this remarkable gift. After manyyears of enjoying it, she decided to present it to an institution where it would be appreciated and enjoyed byothers. She could not have chosen more wisely.

As wonderful as these acquisitions are, our institution should not be measured simply by the size and richness of its collections, but also by how it cares for the cultural artifacts time and circumstance have committed to its stewardship. During the period embraced by this report, the Society completed two majorconservation projects testifying to its commitment to the proper care of its great patrimony. The first wasthe restoration of the remarkable ceiling murals in the Key Room. These murals, which are painted on canvas

attached to a ceiling with elaborate plaster and wood ornamentation, are the work of H. Siddons Mowbray, one ofthe foremost mural painters of his day. The ceiling murals were dirty from a century of accumulated smoke anddirt, and seriously damaged by a plumbing failure on the third floor a decade ago. The painted surfaces of thecanvas were in decay, and equally alarming was the fact that the leaking water had dissolved much of the glueused to attach the canvas to the ceiling. These wonderful murals were actually in much worse condition thanthey appeared to be, and were on their way to falling off the ceiling.

Rescuing the murals was neither simple nor inexpensive. We were fortunate to have a member who recognizedtheir special character. Thomas Stephen Kenan III of the North Carolina Society offered to match every pledge wecould secure from other members to support the work. I’m pleased to say those members stepped forward in oneday. Together the group, thanks to Tom’s challenge, has ensured that these special murals can be enjoyed foranother hundred years.

The other conservation project involved the original manuscript of the Society’s Institution, one of the mostimportant documents of the American Revolution. Signed by George Washington and thirty-four other officers ofthe Continental Army, including Baron von Steuben, Henry Knox and Nathanael Greene, the Institution outlinesthe purposes of the Society and expressed the founders’ determination to preserve forever the memory of our Warfor Independence. The manuscript Institution is an icon of the Society, rivaling the Diamond Eagle.

For a parchment document on the eve of its 225th birthday, the original manuscript of the Institution was inpretty good shape. It nonetheless needed a good cleaning and more important, we needed a way to display itwithout subjecting it to unnecessary handling. Capers McDonald, a member of the Maryland Society, came to therescue with a gift to cover all the costs of cleaning the manuscript and the construction of a special, elaboratebox for housing and displaying it informally. His gift also made it possible for us to have a handsome and secureoak case built for formal display. The Institution can now be displayed without being touched by human hands,ensuring that it will remain in excellent condition for another century and more.

Effective outreach is as important as collecting and conserving the relics of a remarkable past. Our purpose, after all, is education, broadly understood. Among our proudest accomplishments—and most effective educationalefforts—of the years under review is our exhibition on “North Carolina in the American Revolution.” Like all ofour prior state exhibitions, this one was on view at Anderson House for six months. But thanks to the NorthCarolina Society, after the exhibition closed at Anderson House it was moved directly to the North CarolinaMuseum of History in Raleigh, where it was seen by more than a quarter of a million visitors, making it by far themost successful exhibition ever mounted by the Society. And as the period covered by this reported drew to aclose, the entire catalogue of our remarkable research library was placed online, expanding our reach to the limitsof the internet and attracting new researchers in record numbers—a step made possible by member contributions.

This kind of generosity makes possible everything that we do to carry out the great task defined by the Society’sfounders, who dedicated their organization to perpetuating forever the memory of the heroic achievement ofAmerican independence. When combined with the vision, energy and purpose of our members, the Society canaccomplish remarkable things.

Mission StatementThe Society of the Cincinnati is organized for patriotic, historical and educational purposes, and especially to perpetuate the memory of the patriots who by their service and sacrifice during the War of the American Revolution secured the independence of the American people. The members of the Society are representatives of revolutionary officers from the thirteen original states and France who meet the Society'smembership requirements.

The Society seeks:

—to inspire the Society's members and the public at large with a profound reverence for the principlesembraced by the patriots,

—to collect, preserve and display books, manuscripts, art and memorabilia pertaining to the Revolution and to the patriots,

—and to promote unity and fellowship among the descendants of the patriots.

Since its earliest years, The Society of the Cincinnati has focused on education and scholarship as a means of perpetuating the memory of the American Revolution. The original 1783 bylaws of the South Carolina Society outlinedthe Society’s responsibilities for the education of the next generation, including instruction in mathematics and “suchsciences as officers should be acquainted with, that if this country should be ever again unhappily plunged in war, theymay be the more readily qualified to defend those Rights and Liberties, their Fathers were instrumental in establishing.”In 1804, when the Connecticut Society disbanded because of political pressure, the members voted to donate the fundsremaining in their treasury to the library of Yale College. And the Virginia Society at the time of its dissolution in 1824honored the Society’s first president general, George Washington, with the gift of funds to Washington College, nowWashington and Lee University.

This commitment to education and scholarship by the Society continues, fostering scholarships, fellowships, internships, lectures, publications, and the Society’s triennial Cox Book Prize. The Society’s research library is at theheart of our educational strategy. Research use of the Society’s library collections grew steadily during the period of thisreport. The upward trend is likely due to a variety of factors, including the launch of the Society’s website and the availability of the library catalog online, outreach to special interest groups, word-of-mouth among scholars, and thecitation of the library’s collections in recently published works. The staff has made a particular effort to strengthen relationships with area universities, resulting in an increase in the number of local undergraduate and graduate studentswho are turning to the Society’s collections as a research resource.

Public programs continued to fill an important role in the Society’s educational mission and brought thousands of visitors to Anderson House during this period. Special lecture have included presentations by Markus Hünemörder, aprofessor of History at the University of Munich, on his book, The Society of the Cincinnati: Conspiracy and Distrust inEarly America and Edward G. Lengel and William M. Ferraro of The Papers of George Washington at the University ofVirginia on espionage during the Revolutionary War, a presentation by Ellen G. Miles of the Smithsonian NationalPortrait Gallery, who discussed the business of portrait painting in late-eighteenth-century America, and Kenneth R.Bowling of the First Federal Congress Project at The George Washington University who addressed how the FoundingFounders viewed the Society during the Early Republic. In addition, a book signing for Scott W. Berg’s Grand Avenues:The Story of the French Visionary Who Designed Washington, D.C. drew a record audience to hear an account of the lifeand career of original Society member Pierre L’Enfant.

Among less formal programs, a new monthly series of Lunch Bite object chats drew a wide variety of visitors to informaltalks by Society staff and volunteers and other experts highlighting objects from the Society’s collections. Lunch Biteshave included presentations on a rare copy of General Steuben’s 1779 “Blue Book” written after drilling the troops atValley Forge, Lafayette’s Masonic apron, and Spanish furniture and art objects collected by the Larz and IsabelAnderson. The Society’s long-running falland spring concert series, co-sponsored inpart by the Washington International PianoArts Council, also continued to attract visitors to Anderson House with performances ranging from Rachmaninoffpiano compositions to English handbells.

In addition to these public programs, the Society continues to promote the distribution of Why America is Free, our textbook on the American Revolution, in partnership with the Mount Vernon Ladies Association. Distribution of the book is greatly facilitated by our partners at Values Through History, the Texas non-profit that has created a comprehensive curriculum built around our book. And each summer, as it has for several years, the Society co-sponsored and co-produced a teacher seminar on the American Revolution in partnership with Gunston HallPlantation in Virginia. The Society’s commitment to education in all its forms has never been stronger or had greaterreach than it does today.

Scholarship and Education

The Society’s commitment to education has never had greaterreach than it does today.

The Society of the Cincinnati is the leading patriotic historical society promoting the memory of the heroesof the Revolutionary War and the enduring principles for which they fought.

To fulfill this role:

1. The Society maintains a leading, extensive, and accessible library of printed materials used by scholarsfrom around the world as the basis for publications on the Revolutionary War. These scholarly works stimulates public interest in and appreciation of the revolutionary achievement.

2. The Society produces and promotes outreach educational programs and products to improve teaching on the American Revolution and particularly the Revolutionary War.

3. The Society cultivates the memory of the heroes of the Revolutionary War and brotherly affection amongits members through programs and events at Anderson House and throughout the United States andFrance.

4. The Society maintains a select collection of Revolutionary War and Society artifacts and makes themaccessible to the public through special exhibitions at Anderson House and at traveling venues. TheSociety uses this collection and exhibition program to advance its broader goal of promoting public appreciation of the American Revolution and particularly the heroes of the Revolutionary War.

5. The Society sponsors major lectures on the American Revolution each year. These lectures highlight thework of the Society and attract support for Society programs from foundations and other non-memberdonors.

6. The Society advocates the preservation of major historic places and artifacts associated with the AmericanRevolution and the public recognition of the heroes of the Revolutionary War. Our advocacy is directlyrelated to our overall mission and pertinent to our broad membership but is not likely to involveephemeral issues or financial support for plaques, statues, or buildings.

7. The Society maintains its headquarters at Anderson House, a Gilded Age mansion in Washington, D.C., and one of the premier attractions of the city, with an annual visitation of over 25,000 people. Anderson House is a visible symbol of the Society and the center of the historic fellowship of the descendents of the heroic officers of the American Revolution.

Library Fellowships

The Tyree-Lamb Fellowship The Tyree-Lamb Fellowship was established in honor of two members of theSociety, Lewis Tyree and John K. Lamont Lamb, to provide support to academic and professional scholars using theSociety’s library collections.

The 2007 Tyree-Lamb Fellowship was awarded to John R. Maass of The Ohio State University, to support researchtoward his doctoral dissertation, “A ‘Complicated Scene of Difficulties’: The Revolutionary War and State Formation inNorth Carolina, 1776-1789.” Mr. Maass spent a week in the library in March 2007, during which time he presented alecture on the subject of his research to members and other invited guests. Dr. Maass received his Ph.D. in EarlyAmerican History in August 2007. He is currently an historian at the U.S. Army Center of Military History at Ft.McNair in Washington, D.C., and continues to be a frequent user of the Society’s library collections.

The 2008 Tyree-Lamb Fellowship was awarded to Glenn F. Williams, an historian at the National Museum of the U.S.Army and a doctoral candidate at the University of Maryland. As a local-area resident, Mr. Williams stretched hislibrary visits through the calendar year as he conducted research on his dissertation topic, “Lord Dunmore’s War: No

Other Motive than the True Interest ofThis Country,” which examines the armedconflicts and changing loyalties thatoccurred in Virginia during the adminis-tration of the colony’s last Royal governor,John Murray, fourth Earl of Dunmore.Mr. Williams wrapped up his fellowshipwith a slide lecture of his findings present-ed in the Anderson House ballroom inDecember 2008.

The Society of the Cincinnati Scholars’ Grant

Museum Internships

The Society’s paid museum internships are awarded to students interested in museums and public history and offer their recipients professional experience as they pursuea museum career while also contributing to the Society’sability to preserve and interpret its museum collections.

The Clement Ellis Conger Internship The recipient of the 2006 Clement Ellis Conger Internship,Rebecca Palmer, catalogued a backlog of objects in the museum collections during the summer and fall of 2006. Ms. Palmer recently graduated from the State University of New York at Albany with an M.A. in public history. She rehoused and documented a variety of objects, including the significant collection of Society eagles, Larz and IsabelAnderson’s insignia medals from honorary and hereditary societies, and original fragments of the historic fabric ofAnderson House. The internship carries a $1,500 stipend.

The Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati Internship Teresa Martinez, a graduate student in the Museum Studies Program at The George Washington University, was awarded the 2008 MassachusettsSociety of the Cincinnati Internship for the summer of 2008. Ms. Martinez worked to revise the regular tour manual,last updated in 1999, that is used by the Society’s volunteer tour guides and staff members who lead tours of AndersonHouse for the public. Building on a tour route and major themes established by museum staff, she drafted plans for thecontent and format of the revised tour manual and began preliminary research and writing of this content. The internship carries a $2,000 stipend.

1783. After its display at Anderson House, the exhibition traveled to Raleigh,North Carolina, where it was on display from June 5, 2007, through December 31, 2008.

North Carolina in the American Revolution was the tenth exhibition in a seriesfocusing on the character of the Revolution in each of the original thirteen statesand France. The exhibition featured a porcelain tea caddy owned by a participant in the Edenton Tea Party; a rare and colorful map of the colony onthe eve of the war, A Compleat Map of North-Carolina from an actual Surveyby John Abraham Collet (1770); a miniature portrait of one of North Carolina’ssigners of the Declaration of Independence, Joseph Hewes, painted in 1776 byCharles Willson Peale; weapons carried by the patriot, loyalist and British soldiers who fought in North Carolina; and Gen. Nathanael Greene’s handwritten comments on the battle of Guilford Courthouse in 1781.

North Carolina in the American RevolutionOctober 14, 2006 – April 25, 2007

North Carolina’s story during the American Revolution is often overshadowed by better-known events thatoccurred in its sister colonies. But the Old North State claims one of the earliest actions by American women insupport of the Revolution, the Edenton Tea Party (October 25, 1774); the first official recommendation by anAmerican colony for independence from Great Britain, the Halifax Resolves (April 12, 1776); and one of the earliest battles of the war, the battle of Moore’s Creek Bridge (February 27, 1776). As the fourth most populousAmerican colony on the eve of the Revolution, and one of the most geographically and culturally isolated, NorthCarolina and its estimated 250,000 residents—80,000 of whom were slaves—took a distinct path through theAmerican Revolution.

North Carolina’s delegates to the Continental Congress—Joseph Hewes, William Hooper and John Penn—joinedtheir fellow delegates in voting for independence on July 2, 1776. Clashes between local patriots and loyalists, aswell as campaigns against the pro-British Cherokee Indians to the west, defined the war in North Carolina beforeBritish general CharlesCornwallis’s invasion of1780-1781. The Britishcampaign culminated inthe battle of GuilfordCourthouse in centralNorth Carolina, wherethe American forcesunder Gen. NathanaelGreene inflicted heavycasualties. NorthCarolina’s Continentalsoldiers commemoratedthe achievement of independence by establishing the NorthCarolina Society of theCincinnati—the eleventhbranch of The Society ofthe Cincinnati to beformed—on October 23,

Inheriting the Revolution:Loyalty, Brotherhood and The Society of the Cincinnati in the Civil WarMay 11, 2007 – January 5, 2008

Many of the men who fought the Civil War were sons or grandsons of Revolutionary War veterans, soldiers whopassed down to the next generations the ideals of liberty and freedom from tyranny that inspired the achievementof American independence. Inheriting the Revolution, a unique exhibition displaying works of art, artifacts, anddocuments exclusively from the Society’s collections, highlighted the impact of the ideology and people of TheSociety of the Cincinnati on the Civil War and the influence of earlier generations on this “Second AmericanRevolution.” In 1783, as the Revolutionary War came to a close, 2,400 veteran officers of the Continental armyand navy had formed The Society of the Cincinnati, pledging, in part, to “promote and cherish, between therespective States, that union and national honor so essentially necessary to … the future dignity of the Americanempire.” Seventy years later their sons and grandsons, both Rebels and Yankees, fought to carry on the legacy of theRevolution—ideas of liberty and independence that rang true in different ways in both North and South.

The ranks of Civil War soldiers, recruiters, civil servants and advocates on both sides of the war included many whoidentified the struggle with their ancestors’ fight for independence from the British in 1776. Those whose legacy included membership in The Society of the Cincinnati felt a particularly strong connection to the FoundingFathers. Richard Heron Anderson, grandson of Revolutionary War veteran Capt. Richard Anderson, joined theConfederate army when South Carolina “determined to assert her sovereignty and re-establish those principleswhich were declared … by the Declaration of Independence.” But these ties could complicate their allegiance.William Branford Shubrick, a U.S. naval officer and native of South Carolina, offered his services to the Union toremain loyal to the navy that he had served for fifty years.

On the eve of the Civil War, The Societyof the Cincinnati’s numbers had fallen totwo hundred members, all descendents ofRevolutionary War officers, in six states—Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey,Pennsylvania, Maryland and SouthCarolina. Hamilton Fish, who would laterbecome secretary of state under PresidentUlysses S. Grant, shepherded the Societythrough these turbulent years as its president general (from 1854 to 1893).Despite their common heritage and fellowship in this “one Society of Friends,”many members sided against theirbrethren during the Civil War. In May1861, just one month after the attack atFort Sumter, South Carolina, the NewYork State Society of the Cincinnati adopted a resolution denouncing the secession of southern states and condemning those who fought for theConfederacy. One of these soldiers, JamesSimons, attended wartime meetings of theSouth Carolina branch of the Societywearing his gray Confederate uniform.Some southern soldiers thought that theSociety’s legacy was so significant that, in1864, they proposed to Jefferson Davisthat the Society be “reestablished” underthe Confederate government with RobertE. Lee as its leader.

Inheriting the Revolution featured a variety of objects to tell the stories of these Civil War soldiers and their Revolutionary War heritage, including an edition of Henry Lee’s Revolutionary War memoirs published with an introduction by his son, Confederate generalRobert E. Lee; a silver tankard buried by the Graham family to protect itfrom advancing British troops in 1776 and Gen. William Sherman’s

Union army in 1865; ajeweled sword presentedin 1861 by the City ofPhiladelphia to RobertAnderson, the Unionarmy commander of Fort Sumter and the son of Revolutionary Warofficer Richard Clough Anderson; and a portrait of Admiral WilliamBranford Shubrick by Gilbert Stuart accompanied by Shubrick’s 1863commission signed by Abraham Lincoln.

The Secret History of The Society of the CincinnatiJanuary 18 – July 5, 2008

In the spring of 1783, after enduringeight long years of war, the main partof America’s Revolutionary army wascamped along the Hudson River inNew York waiting for word that apeace treaty had been signed. The soldiers—officers and enlisted menalike—had not been paid in months,in some cases longer, and feared beingsent home without their pay. Rumorsspread that the soldiers would marchon Philadelphia to force Congress topay them or even would try to establish a military dictatorship.

Instead, the officers banded togetherto form an organization that wouldhonor their fight for American independence while providing supportfor their common struggles. On May13, 1783, the group was founded andnamed The Society of the Cincinnati,after the ancient Roman citizen-soldier Cincinnatus. More than 2,200 officers joined the Society and pledgedthemselves to its principles: commemorating the achievement ofAmerican independence, preservingthe union of states that resulted, andmaintaining the bonds of friendshipforged in war. George Washingtonbecame the Society’s first presidentgeneral, leading his officers from warto peace.

The Society of the Cincinnati embodies one of the most important legacies of the Revolutionary War—that citizen-soldiers who had left their homes to fight for their country were willing to abandon their swords and support the subordination of military power to civilian rule. The story of the Society’s foundingis a fundamentally American one ofhow an armed revolution gave wayto a civilian republic.

On view at Anderson House for sixmonths, The Secret History of TheSociety of the Cincinnati featuredworks of art, artifacts, manuscriptsand rare pamphlets drawn from theSociety’s collections and those of

several distinguished lenders. The highlight of the exhibition was the Institution, which had never before been on public display and received painstaking conservation for the occasion. Other notable objects include Henry Knox’smanuscript draft of the Institution; a monumental portrait of original member Benjamin Tallmadge and his son painted by Ralph Earl (1790); an eighteenth-century Masonic apron worn by original Society member HenryLutterloh; objects owned by original members such as Alexander Hamilton’s bamboo cane and a locket box made byPolish-born hero Tadeusz Kosciuszko; a portrait of Samuel Shaw, who carried Pierre L’Enfant’s drawing of the eagle toChina to have the Society porcelain made, painted by fellow original member John Johnston (ca. 1790); and a secretjournal kept in code by WinthropSargent, an original member who fearedthat his notes from the Society’s firstgeneral meeting in May 1784 wouldfeed the brewing controversy over the Society.

Traveling Exhibitions and Loans

In order to reach broader audiences, the Society has become increasingly active in creating and participating in traveling exhibitions and lending objects in its collections to other institutions in the United States and abroad. TheSociety lent an original Society Eagle, of the larger type brought from France in 1784 by Pierre L’Enfant, to theMount Vernon Ladies Association for display in a gallery emphasizing Washington’s transition from soldier to states-man in Mount Vernon’s Donald W. Reynolds Museum.

The object traveling farthest this year was an oil portrait of Lawrence Washington (1718-1752), GeorgeWashington’s half-brother, which the Society lent to the Bush Hill Tourism Trust in Barbados for exhibition at therecently-restored George Washington House near the island nation’s capital, Bridgetown. An inquiry from a member of the Connecticut Society, Harold Holcombe, set in motion the train of events that led to the restorationof the George Washington House, which is the only place George Washington ever lived outside what is now theUnited States. Washington accompanied his brother to Barbados is 1751. Executive Director Jack D. Warren Jr.was the chief historical advisor for the George Washington House restoration effort and was consulted on the content and design of the new museum at the site. The portrait of Lawrence Washington is a copy executed by W. H. Barry in 1965 from the ca. 1738 original owned by Mount Vernon.

The Society lent objects to the exhibition, Hail La Fayette! held at Tudor Place Historic House and Garden inWashington, D.C., (September 19 through December 31, 2007), which commemorated the 183rd anniversary ofLafayette’s visit to Tudor Place in 1824. The Society staff worked closely with the curator of Morven Museum &Garden in Princeton, New Jersey, to identify fourteen items from the library and museum collections for loan to the

exhibition Picturing Princeton, 1783: The Nation’s Capital (June 1, 2008,through January 11, 2009), which chronicles the five months during whichPrinceton was the seat of Congress during the final year of the Revolutionary War.

The Society also lent objects for A Son and his Adoptive Father: The Marquisde Lafayette and George Washington, an exhibition marking the 250thanniversary of the marquis de Lafayette’s birth. Five treasures from the Society’smuseum collections toured the East Coast in this exhibition organized byMount Vernon. These objects are an octagonal bronze medal made fromdesigns by Rambert Dumarest (1750-1806) in 1789 to mark Lafayette’sappointment to the head of the Paris National Guard; Lafayette’s silk Masonicapron that he wore at a lodge in Washington, D.C., during his tour of theUnited States in 1824-1825; a glass tumbler used at a dinner honoringLafayette in Charleston, South Carolina, in March 1825; an early copy of The Society of the Cincinnati eagle that was originally made for GeorgeWashington and later owned by Lafayette; and a commemorative silk scarffrom World War I bearing images of Washington and Lafayette. After its stay atMount Vernon as the first temporary exhibition in the new Donald W.Reynolds Museum (October 27, 2006, through August 5, 2007), A Son andhis Adoptive Father traveled to Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania(August 27 through October 28, 2007), and the New-York Historical Society(November 16, 2007, through August 10, 2008), where it was recast as FrenchFounding Father: Lafayette’s Return to Washington’s America.

Most important of all was the re-installation of the Society’s exhibition, NorthCarolina in the American Revolution, at the North Carolina Museum ofHistory in Raleigh. The tenth exhibition in the Society’s series focusing on thecontributions to the American Revolution made by the original thirteen statesand France was the first to travel from Anderson House. North Carolina in theAmerican Revolution was on display at the Society’s headquarters for sevenmonths (October 14, 2006, through April 25, 2007) before traveling toRaleigh, where it was on view for almost eighteen months (June 8, 2007,through December 31, 2008). The exhibition featured thirty-nine works of art,artifacts, and documents, including eleven items from the Society’s library collections. Among these important documents from the Society’s collectionsare letters from North Carolinians Arthur Council and Jethro Sumner lamenting their lack of men and supplies in 1776 and 1780, a map detailing British general Cornwallis’s movements inthe South in 1780 and 1781 drawn and published by William Faden, a letter from North Carolina officer WilliamRichardson Davie describing his cavalry’s activities in November 1780, a printed broadside arguing the case of NorthCarolina loyalist Thomas MacKnight, and the first by-laws of the North Carolina Society of the Cincinnati formed inOctober 1783.

The Art of War in Manuscript

The library’s art-of-war collection was enhanced during2007-2008 by the addition of several bound illustratedmanuscripts. While the majority of the collection consists of printed works—which were produced to disseminate their contents to many readers—the manuscripts, by definition, were created for a limitednumber of users, if not a single individual. Art-of-warmanuscripts were made for a variety of reasons: as theauthor’s original manuscript, whether destined for publication or not; as an individual copy of a publishedwork; as a compilation drawn from the works of severalauthors; or as a student’s exercise book in which the artof drawing was integral to learning the art of war.Examples range from exquisite works of art and calligraphy, finely bound and preserved, to volumes ofrough notes and sketches that show signs of hard, practical use. The uniqueness of these primary sourcematerials adds to their value to researchers, who mayfind in them evidence and ideas that do not appear inthe published literature.

Most notable among these acquisitions is the manuscript by an original member of the FrenchSociety, Claude-François Renart, comte d’Amblimont(1736-1797), for his published work, Tactique Navale,ou Traité sur les Evolutions, sur les Signaux et sur lesMouvemens de Guerre (Paris, 1788). The 280-pageillustrated manuscript volume was handed downthrough generations of Amblimont’s family and is thegift of his great-great-great-great-great grandson,Thomas Sumter Tisdale Jr. of the South Carolina Society.

Amblimont began his naval service at age fifteen as a garde de la marine. During his long and distinguished careerhe participated in several North American campaigns, including the siege of Louisbourg in 1757, Santa Domingoin 1770 and 1780, and in the Battle of the Saints and a number of subsequent engagements along the coast of theUnited States in 1782 and 1783. He had attained the rank of chef d’escadre by the time of the publication of hisnaval treatise and was promoted to contre-amiral in 1792. A loyal Royalist, Amblimont immigrated to Spain duringthe French Revolution and joined the Spanish navy. He was killed while commanding the Conde Regla in battleagainst the British fleet at Cape Saint-Vincent in 1797. His family lineage was connected with that of the SouthCarolina Revolutionary War hero, Gen. Thomas Sumter, through the marriage of Amblimont’s granddaughter,Natalie Delage, to Thomas Sumter Jr., in 1802. It is through this family line that his manuscript book came toAmerica and descended to the Society’s donor, Mr. Tisdale.

Amblimont was a brilliant commander and naval tactician whose ideas were shaped by his decades of experience inbattle. His Tactique Navale presented a new and original system of organizing a fleet into pelotons, or tactical groupsof differing functions, as opposed to the set three-column order of sailing that was in general practice. His motive forwriting the book, he states in his introduction, was “le désir d’être utile à ma Patrie, et de donner au Roi des preuves demon zèle pour son service” (the desire to be useful to my country and to give the King proof of my zeal to serve him).

A comparison of the Amblimont manuscript, which was dated 1787, with the 1788 published work reveals a consistentarrangement of chapters and illustrations, with only slight variations between the texts. The title page of the manuscriptbears the inscription “Imprimé par ordre du Gouvernement” with the word “Gouvernement” crossed out and “Roy” writtenin above it. The printed edition imprint reflects this correction, using the more modern spelling, “Roi.” Several pencilednotations, possibly printers’ marks, appear throughout the manuscript text. The engraved plates in the printed bookreplicate Amblimont’s watercolor diagrams of sailing maneuvers and signals. Only two copies of the printed edition havebeen located in North America (both are in the collection of the Naval Historical Center), making the availability ofAmblimont’s original manuscript even more valuable to researchers.

The Society acquired several other art-of-war manuscripts to add to our magnificent Robert Charles LawrenceFergusson Collection during 2007-2008. Highlights among these include:

Compendio della Fortificatione, dell’ArchitetturaMilitare Difensiua, sua Definitione, e Progresso(18th century), a compendium by an unknownItalian artist of eighty-three finely executed watercolor drawings of fortification plans by prominent military engineers, including Pagan,Vauban and Coehoorn, as well as illustrations ofconstructed examples of their work in Europe.Illustrated here is a plan of the fortifications ofManheim, located at the confluence of theRhine and Necker rivers in Germany.

Les Evolutions Militaires (ca. 1720), a boundmanuscript featuring fifty-six hand-colored diagrams of battalion formations with accompanying explanatory text. The author/artist is unknown, but the contentssuggest that the work was compiled by or for a student at a French military academy. The volume begins with a glossaryof basic terms and continues with a series of increasingly complex military exercises and formations.

Manuscrit Militaire … qui Contient des Principes Raisonnés de Tactique sur les Mouvements Particuliers des Bataillons…. La Castrametation, la Fortification de Campagne et Enfin sur la Défense des Retranchements. This two-volume illustratedmanuscript was written over a fourteen-year period (1757-1771) by Jean Victor, baron de Traverse, a lieutenant-generalin the French army and the author of several published treatises on the art of war. The contents present Traverse’s viewson military tactics and maneuvers, as well as the art of laying out camps and the construction and defense of field fortifications. The work is in a large (47 cm) folio format with several double-leaf illustrations. Its binding bears thearms of Emmanuel-Armand de Richelieu, duc d’Aiguillon, who served Louis XV as minister of foreign affairs in 1771,the year the manuscript was completed, and became his secretary of state for war in 1774.

Tabell paa indholden af det Gradste Systema (ca. 1778), a Danish manuscript volume containing 129 watercolor drawings of naval and land artillery, military architecture, and fortifications. The text also includes instruction in geometric calculation and measurement, essential knowledge for any practitioner of military art and science.

TheodosiusFowler (1753-1841), donated by Ms. Frances KelloggStevenson, a descendant of Fowler’s through his daughter,Maria Fowler Stevens (b. 1788), reveals a dignified,learned man with a hardened and perhaps weary face.Captain Fowler served in the New York Continental linethrough the Revolutionary War, beginning as an ensignin the First New York Regiment in February 1776 andleaving the army as a captain in June 1783. He sawaction at the battles of Long Island, Saratoga,Monmouth, and Yorktown and participated in Gen. JohnSullivan’s Indian campaign. After the war, Fowler, anoriginal member of the New York State Society of theCincinnati, worked as a broker and merchant in NewYork and New Jersey. This painting of Fowler, in whichhe wears his Society of the Cincinnati eagle, is not signedor dated, but it was likely painted in the early years of thenineteenth century by an American artist.

The Robert Charles Lawrence Fergusson Collection

Established in 1988 in memory of a young member of The Society of the Cincinnati in the State of Virginia, theRobert Charles Lawrence Fergusson Collection marks its twentieth anniversary this year. Robert Charles LawrenceFergusson (1943-1967) was elected to the Virginia Society in 1966, representing Capt. Benjamin Biggs of the VirginiaContinental line. The following year, as a first lieutenant in the 101st Airborne Division of the U.S. Army, he was fatally wounded while commanding an infantry company in combat in Vietnam. For his valor and sacrifice, LieutenantFergusson was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the Bronze Star Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster and the Purple Heart.

The growing collection that honors Lieutenant Fergusson’s name includes rare books, broadsides, manuscripts, maps,works of art, and artifacts that pertain to the military and naval history of the era of the American Revolution and tothe art of war in the eighteenth century.During the year ending June 30, 2008, 228 items were added to theFergusson Collection.

FINANCIAL SUPPORTFunds to support acquisitions to the Fergusson Collection havebeen provided through the generosity of a member of TheSociety of the Cincinnati in the State of Virginia who wishes toremain anonymous. The ongoing commitment of funds over thepast two decades has enabled the Society of build a collectiondistinguished by its breadth and depth, especially in the fieldof military and naval art and science.

Included among the additions to the Fergusson Collection are twenty-two printed or manuscript works from themilitary collection of Lt. Gen. George Lane Parker (1724-1791), a British army officer, which were sold as part ofthe library of the Earls of Macclesfield removed from Shirburn Castle in England. The books, a selection of whichis shown here, are notable for their fine bindings and superb state of preservation.

ConservationSeveral major conservation projects were carried out during the two years covered by this report, reflecting theSociety’s commitment to the good stewardship of Anderson House and the invaluable library and museum collections of the Society. At the beginning of this period, the Society benefitted from a Conservation AssessmentProgram grant from Heritage Preservation, Inc., an independent organization in Washington, D.C., supported inpart by the Institute for Museum and Library Services. The award of $6,220, which required no matching fundsfrom the Society, paid for two assessors—a professional conservator and a preservation architect—to examine theSociety’s collections and historic building and produce an independent conservation assessment, summarizing thecurrent condition of the building and grounds and the collections and drawing attention to the highest priorities for conservation.

The Society chose Nancy Davis, a professional object conservator based in suburban Maryland, as its collectionsassessor and Thomas Vitanza, a senior historical architect with the National Park Service, as its architecture assessor.The assessors first visited Anderson House in late June 2006. After reviewing policies and procedures related to thepreservation of the building and collections, interviewing staff, and conducting extensive examinations of the interior and exterior of Anderson House, including collections storage, exhibition spaces, and mechanical rooms,the assessors completed separate general conservation surveys in November 2006. These assessments provide independent recommendation that the Society can use in its ongoing work to preserve Anderson House and the collections.

Since the completion of that project, the Society launched a major effort to conserve the historic murals in the KeyRoom, a long-neglected masterpiece. The murals were damaged as the result of a leak—actually a minor flood—onthe third floor that took place a decade ago, capping off nearly a century of accumulated grime that had dimmedthe bright colors and gold leaf.

A project of this size—and expense—needed a sponsor with an appreciation of the quality of the murals and a lovefor Anderson House. Thomas Stephen Kenan III, who earlier supported the renovation of the North Carolina Suite,proved to be a generous and astute sponsor. He agreed to contribute half of the cost, if we could raise the balancewithin a year. We were able to raise the balance in one day. The conservation and restoration effort consumedmonths of careful work. The results are featured on the cover and throughout this report. You can see the ceilingmurals, in all their bright splendor, when you next visit Anderson House.

What you won’t see in this report—but can see for yourself in person—is the remarkable contrast between the brilliant colors of the ceiling murals and the dull and lifeless colors of the wall murals. When the ceiling was dirtyand distressed we didn’t see how dull the walls had become, too. All we could see was that they hadn’t sustained thesad water damage that was ruining the ceiling. But now it is clear that the conservation and restoration of the wallmurals has to be high on our agenda, if we can find sponsors with the taste and vision of Tom Kenan and the menwho matched his challenge grant.

The Key Room Ceiling—The Heart of Anderson House

“Seldom has onesmall room hadcompressed into it so fine and complete a presentation ofHistory by Art.”William Walton,Harper’s Monthly,April 1911

Not two years after H. SiddonsMowbray completed hismurals on thewalls and ceiling ofthe key room ofAnderson House,they were heraldedas one of the bestexamples of muralpainting in theUnited States.These brilliantworks of art, completed inDecember 1909,chronicle on thefour walls iconicevents in Americanhistory: theachievement of American independence, thesettlement of thefrontier, the CivilWar, and thebeginning of themodern Americannation forged

during the Spanish-American War. The citizen soldiers who helped win American independence are honored on thegilded ceiling through a series of medallions and smaller panels that depict the “Call to Arms,” the French Alliance, the“Genius” of The Society of the Cincinnati, and the “Triumphant Republic.”

The key room, named for the repeating Greek key pattern in the Siena and white marble floor, served as a receptionroom where Larz and Isabel Anderson formally greeted their guests to dinners and receptions while surrounded byimages of their patriotic heritage. Today, the room is used in the same tradition by the president general and his firstlady to greet guests at Society functions. The Andersons also used the key room to display a variety of artifacts, including Richard Clough Anderson’s original certificate of membership in the Society, along with selections from their 43

extensive collection of Japanese and Chinese lacquer. Some of thesegold and cinnabar lacquer pieces can still be seen in the room today.

Artist and Patron

Henry Siddons Mowbray (1858-1928), referred to most often by hisfirst initial, was born in Alexandria, Egypt, to English parents. Bothof his parents died before his tenth birthday, and Henry was raised byhis uncle and aunt, George and Annie Mowbray, in North Adams,Massachusetts. After eight years of studying painting in Europe,Mowbray returned to America in 1886, settling in New York, andhad received his first mural commission within several years. Mowbray quickly became one of the most popular artists of theGilded Age. His creativity, allegorical themes, luscious colors, and collaboration with architects created for the artist a style of architectural decorative painting that was sought after by America’smost prominent and wealthy individuals. Mowbray’s mural work isconcentrated in New York City and Connecticut, but also includes

commissions in St. Louis, Missouri, and Cleveland, Ohio. The Morgan Library, the Appellate Court House, theUniversity Club, and the Hyde Park home of FrederickW. Vanderbilt are prominent among Mowbray’s accomplishments in New York.

Larz Anderson sought Mowbray to adorn the walls andceiling of the second floor key room—in addition to thechoir stall room and the winter garden on the first floorof Anderson House—after having admired his murals inthe library of the University Club in New York City. InJanuary 1908, through “a prominent architect ofBoston,” Mr. Fox, Anderson made contact with Mowbrayto request his services. Anderson House would becomethe only building in Washington, D.C., to bear Mowbray murals.

Anderson envisioned that the murals in the key roomwould chronicle the patriotic service of his family inimportant historical and military events—theRevolutionary War, westward expansion, the Civil War,and the Spanish-American War. Mowbray drafted a seriesof detailed sketches of his proposals for the wall murals,which he and Anderson went back and forth revising formore than a year and half. The final design for the wallscalled for wainscoting to be painted up to five feet highon the walls with the main scenes painted above thesearchitectural details. To achieve this effect, Mowbraypainted thin pieces of canvas sixteen feet high andadhered them to the walls from floor to ceiling.

Larz Anderson and Mowbray do not seem to have madeplans for the ornamentation of the ceiling as early as theydid for the walls. After work was already well underwayon the wall murals, Anderson wrote to Mowbray asking

44 45

the artist to begin sketches for the ceiling murals, which would become, in Anderson’s words, “an Apotheosis of theSpirit of the Cincinnati.” None of Mowbray’s sketches for the ceiling designs have been discovered.

Larz Anderson proved to be a demanding client. His frequent examinations of the artist’s progress and skill often resulted in comments such as this one: “Certain portions seemed to me painted in deeper effects than others, and thewhite backgrounds didn’t look well but the workman told me all this was to be gone over and made to tone together.”At one point during work on the key room, he wrote to Mowbray that “at present the cost of the full fresco of the wallsrather appalls me.” How much the Andersons paid the artist for the murals is not known, but Larz Anderson wholeheartedly appreciated the result when Mowbray’s work in the key room was finished: “Your beautiful frescoes areever a delight, not only to ourselves, but to our guests.”

The Murals

The four wall murals highlight momentous events inAmerican history through the participation of Andersonfamily members. The first mural, titled “The Society of theCincinnati Was Instituted in Peace after Revolution,”shows George Washington handing a certificate of mem-bership in the Society to the marquis de Lafayette with theFrenchman’s aide-de-camp, Lt. Col. Richard CloughAnderson, standing to the left. Lieutenant ColonelAnderson was Larz Anderson’s great grandfather and anoriginal member of the Society’s Virginia branch. To theleft of this mural, the narrow, vertical space between thewindows reveals a landscape scene of the fledgling city ofCincinnati, Ohio, titled “The City of Cincinnati Chose ItsName to Commemorate The Society of the Cincinnati.”Arthur St. Clair, first president of the Pennsylvania branchof the Society and the governor of the Northwest Territoryafter the war, is credited with naming the city in honor ofthe Society in 1790. Generations of the Anderson family,beginning with Larz Anderson I in the early nineteenthcentury, called the “Queen City of the West” home.

The largest wall mural, “The Order of the Loyal LegionWas Born out of Cruel Civil War,” commemorates twogenerations of the Anderson family who fought for theNorth during the Civil War—Gen. Robert Anderson, Larz Anderson’s great uncle, who was the commanding Unionarmy officer at Fort Sumter when it was fired upon in April 1861, and Gen. Nicholas Longworth Anderson, LarzAnderson’s father, who led the Sixth Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The final wall mural, “The Order of the Spanish-American War Records a Generous Fight for Freedom,” depicts the bay at Santiago, Cuba, where American forces aided

Cuba in its fight for independence from Spain in1898. Larz Anderson volunteered with the U.S.Army during the war as an adjutant general stationedat Fort Alger, Virginia.

The ceiling murals—a combination of painted canvaspanels adhered to the ceiling, gilding, and moldedplaster decorations—gleam with gold and rich colorsin designs that honor the Revolutionary War soldierswho fought to establish the nation. Two large centralmedallions show allegorical figures representing the

H. Siddons Mowbray pictured infront of his easel in the New EnglandMagazine in 1896.

“Triumphant Republic,” a female figure with cherubs holding fasces and a wreath, symbols of authority and administration; and “The Genius of the Cincinnati,” another female figure wearing the insignia of the Society whilethe angel Fame holds a scroll of names of original members. On the north and south ends of the medallions are twogilded panels with cherubs holding the obverse and reverse of The Society of the Cincinnati insignia.

In the corners, blue and white panels done in high relief depict smaller scenes representing the “Farmer Patriot”called to defend liberty, support of the French Alliance, the American victory, and the exploration and settlement ofthe west by American pioneers. Larz Anderson requested that Mowbray include the initials of what he consideredthe four generations of Anderson men who had been Society members—original member Richard CloughAnderson; his son Larz Anderson I, who was not able to become a member of the Virginia Society before it disbanded in 1824; Larz’s son Nicholas Longworth Anderson, who joined the Maryland Society in 1890 as theVirginia Society had not yet reorganized; and Nicholas’s son Larz Anderson III, who joined the Maryland Society in1894 and resumed the family’s membership in the Virginia Society in 1934.

The Key Room Ceiling—Restoring a Masterpiece

From early January through early March 2007, conservatorsfrom Olin Conservation, Inc. worked for six days each weekto restore the key room ceiling murals. Olin Conservation,headquartered in Great Falls, Virginia, has also recentlyconserved the murals in the rotunda of the NationalArchives building and the cyclorama mural at GettysburgNational Military Park, among many other federal buildings, museums, and historic houses.

Working almost entirely on site, the conservators stabilizedand consolidated flaking paint and gilt, removed previousoverpainting that had darkened over time, resecured buckling canvas panels to the ceiling, filled in areas of lostgilt and paint, and cleaned the grime from the surface ofthe murals. One of the most dramatic improvementsoccurred in the northwest corner of the ceiling where theprior water damage was most severe. To repair and preservethe murals in this area, the conservators removed the

efflorescence on the surface and underneath the paint layer, stabilized and consolidated the crumbling and cracked plaster, and repaired lost paint and gilt. Thesepainstaking measures have returned the ceiling murals totheir original brilliance.

Selected Projects

The Institution of The Society of the Cincinnati

The Society of the Cincinnati’s original 1783 Institution, signedby George Washington and thirty-five other officers, went on public display for the first time as part of the Society’s 225thanniversary exhibition, “The Secret History of The Society of theCincinnati.” In preparation for this, the large parchment document was painstakingly cleaned and mended by Christine A.Smith, a leading specialist in parchment documents. Because ofthe Institution’s priceless value, Ms. Smith conducted the work atAnderson House so that the document did not leave the Society’scustody. The conservation treatment of the Institution and theconstruction of a special archival box for its housing were generously funded by Capers Walter McDonald, a member of theMaryland Society. In addition, a special exhibition case wasdesigned and constructed for secure display of the Institutionwhile it is on public exhibition.

On May 13, 1783, the officers gathered at Mount Gulian, GeneralSteuben’s headquarters near Newburgh, finalized the text of theInstitution and formally established The Society of the Cincinnati.Within a week of their meeting a copy of the text of theInstitution was engrossed on a large sheet of parchment and a committee of three officers, Generals Heath, Steuben andKnox, were appointed to deliver the Institution to General Washington and “request him to honor the Society by placing his name at the head of it.” Washington signed the Institution first, and his signature is followed by those of theseveral officers in and around Newburgh who were involved in the Society’s founding. At least one signature was addedlater—that of Gen. Nathanael Greene, who was still in command in the South at the time of the Society’s founding,appears in the left margin.

The Institution has been the Society’s property since the time of its creation in May of 1783. Physical evidence (such aspatterns of accumulated dirt on the verso of the document) indicates that the document was kept folded for a period oftime. It was originally housed with the Society’s other early papers in the document box made by Thomas George andDaniel King, Jr. in 1787. Through its history, the Institution was part of the archives that were in the custody of theSociety’s secretaries general in succession, who in the early years would have probably housed them in their homes oroffices. At the Triennial Meeting of 1911, a member raised concerns about putting “such responsibility” on the individual officers for the safeguarding of these valuable papers. A special committee was appointed to look into thematter, which subsequently made arrangements to inventory the archival collection and transfer it to the Lincoln SafeDeposit and Storage Company in New York City.

The Institution and other early papers remained in storage in New York until March of 1930, when they were transferred to the Division of Manuscripts of the Library of Congress. At that time, the receipts indicate, the Institutionwas “enclosed in a cylindrical metal container,” as it probably had been housed for several decades. The collectionremained on deposit at the Library of Congress, withaccess to researchers granted by special permission of theSociety, until November 1973, when Secretary GeneralStephen Caldwell Millett arranged for its return to theSociety’s custody at Anderson House. At that time, theInstitution was flattened, placed in a large archival portfolio and stored in a map case in the vault. Its recent conservation and new housing assure the survival of this landmark document for generations to come.

The Diana Tapestries

The fifth tapestry in the Diana series, Diana with an Infant Upon her Knees, was reinstalled in the dining room ofAnderson House in April 2007 after more than one year of conservation work at the Textile ConservationLaboratory of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City. During the conservation work, the conservators discovered two tags with red wax seals and writing inside the original lining on the back of the tapestry, most likely dating to their creation in the early seventeenth century. In addition to cleaning the surface ofthe tapestry of dirt and grime, consolidating and strengthening the deteriorating silk and wool fibers, securingdetached borders, and attaching a new lining system, the conservators devised a new hanging system that wouldsupport the weight of the tapestry while, at the same time, accommodating the space where it originally hung,which is more than one foot narrower than the tapestry.

The sixth tapestry in the Diana series to receive conservation treatment, Two Men Slaying a Dragon, wasremoved from the dining room of Anderson House in April 2007 and transport-ed to the Textile Conservation Laboratory of theCathedral of St. John the Divine.Conservators arecleaning the surfaceof the tapestry of dirt and grime, consolidating andstrengthening thedeteriorating silk andwool fibers, securingdetached borders,attaching a new liningsystem, and devising anew hanging system.The tapestry will berestored to its place in thedining room in the summer of 2009.

Revolutionary War Orderly Books

In 2006, The Society of the Cincinnati launched a multi-year project to restore and conserve its collection of eighteenth-century manuscript orderly books. The project is being funded through the Save America’s Treasures grantprogram, a partnership of the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities, the National Park Service, theNational Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Institute of Museum andLibrary Services to fund the preservation and conservation of irreplaceable and endangered historic properties, sites,documents, artistic works and artifacts.

To date, fourteen individual volumes of the Society’s collection of thirty-seven orderly books (thirty-three of which arerecords of Continental Army units during the Revolutionary War and four that document British army activities duringthe French and Indian War) have been treated at the Center for theConservation of Art and Historic Artifacts in Philadelphia. Each volumehas been structurally repaired and cleaned, and each is now housed in acustom-made archival box to ensure its long-term preservation.Conservation work on a third group of seven orderly books is currently underway.

Bust of George Washington by Thomas Crawford

In the mid-nineteenth century, American sculptor Thomas Crawford(1813-1857) executed several bust portraits of George Washingtonbased on the terra cotta bust from life sculpted by Jean-AntoineHoudon in 1785. Crawford’s interest in depicting the nation’s firstpresident stemmed from his 1849-1850 commission from the Stateof Virginia to design an equestrian statue of Washington inRichmond. Beginning perhaps the following year, Crawford sculptedseveral busts of Washington that Henry Tuckerman, a contemporary,described as the “most triumphant attempt to embody and illustratethe features, form, and character of Washington in statuary.”

The Society of the Cincinnati, just six years after opening its museum at Anderson House, acquired its Crawford bust ofWashington in 1945 as a gift from Henry Benning Spencer (d. 1956), a member of The Society of the Cincinnati in the State ofGeorgia and chairman of a group then known as the Regents ofAnderson House. Since its donation, this marble bust ofWashington had been on display in the front entry hall of AndersonHouse, a perch it left in the spring of2008 to receive conservation treatmentbefore traveling to Princeton, New

Jersey, for exhibition. The surface of the sculpture was cleaned—revealing natural veins inthe marble that had been hidden for generations beneath gray and yellowish layers of dirtand grime—and a crack in the lower drapery section was consolidated. The bust will beon display at Morven Museum & Garden from June 2008 to June 2009 in the exhibitionPicturing Princeton, 1783: The Nation’s Capital.

Japanese Lanterns

Two Japanese sandstone lanterns received major conservation work during the summerand fall of 2007 as one of the first steps in a long-range project of preserving the outdoorsculpture in the Hoyt Garden. Identified as in urgent need of attention by sculpture conservator Constance Stromberg in a condition survey in 2005, the pair of sculptureswere in poor condition and structurally unstable. The soft sandstone had eroded significantly after nearly twenty-five years outdoors and was riddled with cracks, ivy and lichen.

These Japanese lanterns, each composed of ten stacked carved pieces, may have originallybeen used as decorative elements at a temple or shrine. Several of the pieces resemblepagoda roofs, while each lantern has two pierced hollow cubes meant to hold lights. TheAndersons acquired these sculptures in 1903 from A. A. Vantine & Co., a New Yorkcompany that specialized in Asian antiques and household furnishings. The Andersons

displayed the lanterns in the first-floor entryhall in niches flanking the short flight of stepsleading to the east stair hall. They were relocated to the Hoyt Garden as part of its1983 renovation.

The ultimate goal for this project was to clean and stabilize the twosculptures so that they could be returned to their original locations indoors, which were left empty after the 1983move. Conservators spent nearly one week cleaning the sculptures, removing old repairs, examining for pests, andconsolidating cracks and flaking pieces on the surfaces to prevent further damage during their relocation. In lateOctober, a team of four art handlers and one conservator cautiously disassembled the lanterns and reassembledthem in their original location in the entry hall.

Other Noteworthy Conservation Projects

Other objects in the museum collections that received conservation treatment during fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008include a walnut library table, made in Italy around 1608 and part of the Anderson collection, displayed in the center of the east stair hall. It received extensive conservation treatment in the summer and to improve its stabilityand appearance, in addition to addressing a pest infestation (possibly centuries old) discovered in the wood.Additionally, a mahogany drop-front desk that has been on display in the sitting room of the New Hampshire suiteon the third floor of Anderson House was treated to repair general damage to the stability and appearance of thepiece caused by use over time. The desk, made in Massachusets in New Hampshire around 1770, is said to havebeen owned by Capt. John Kilby Smith (1753-1842), a Revolutionary War veteran and original member of theMassachusetts Society of the Cincinnati.

Also receiving attention was an oil portrait of Bryce Metcalf (1874-1951), president general of the Society from1939 to 1950, which currently hangs along the east staircase between the second and third floors. Painted by ArthurL. Ratzka (1869-1958) in 1941, the portrait had suffered fifty years of accumulated damage, including flakingpaint, bulging canvas support, and a significant tear in one corner of the canvas. In addition, a sixteenth-centurySpanish polychrome sculpture depicting the flagellation of Christ that is on display in the Olmsted Gallery outsidethe doors to the dining room received fourteen months of conservation treatment to clean the extremely dirty surface, consolidate cracks in thewood, and repair tears and flaking inthe canvas, paint, and gilt. This is thefirst of three polychrome sculpturescollected by the Andersons to be conserved.

Volunteers

The Society could not accomplish the wide range of projects that it completes in a year without thehelp of a dedicated group of volunteers. The majority of these volunteers serve as museum guides,leading groups of visitors through Anderson House and enabling the museum to open to the public. Other volunteers have contributed to projects such as revising the museum tour manual andvarious library cataloging, research and collection management projects. The Society is grateful forthese individuals’ generous gifts of time.

The Internal Revenue Service has determined that the Society is not aprivate foundation. The Society is exempt from income taxes except for unrelated businessincome tax.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policiesa. Accrual Basis – The financial statements of the Society have been prepared on the accrualbasis and, accordingly, reflect all significant receivables, payables and other liabilities.

b. Basis of Presentation – Financial statements presentation follows the recommendations of theFinancial Accounting Standards Board in its Statement of Financial Accounting Standards(SFAS) No. 117, Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Organizations. Under SFAS No. 117,the Society is required to report information regarding its financial position and activitiesaccording to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets,and permanently restricted net assets.

The Society made extensive renovations during 1997 and 1998 in order to ensure that its collections can be preserved in their current condition or better if restoration work is performedin the future. Proceeds from sales of collection items are reinvested in the collection. As ofSeptember 1, 1998, the Society has elected to expense collection accessions at the time of acquisition. The value of in-kind donations of items to be added to the collections is not included in these financial statements.

The Board-Designated Endowment Fund is comprised of funds set aside by the Board to beinvested and a portion of the income from this fund is used to provide a base of funding for theSociety’s operations.

The Library Designated Fund was established to provide a source of funding for acquisitions ofLibrary Collection items which cannot be funded from other sources, including the Society’s annualoperating budget.

The Museum Designated Fund was established to provide a source of funding for the acquisition ofnew Collection items and/or to preserve and restore the current Collection.

The Society’s Board of Directors establishes a spending rate at the start of each fiscal year based on the 20-quarter rolling averagefair value of the master trust.

Notes to the Financial Statementsfor the Year Ended June 30, 2008

1. ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORYThe Society of the Cincinnati (the "Society") was organized in 1783 to preserve and promotethe ideals of the American Revolution. It was incorporated in 1938 under the laws of theDistrict of Columbia. The Society is a nonprofit educational organization devoted to the principles and ideals of its founders. In addition to a museum and library at Anderson House,the Society supports scholarship on the Revolutionary War, publications, historic preservationefforts, and other programs to promote increased knowledge and appreciation of the achievements of American independence.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESBasis of Accounting—The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrualmethod of accounting.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and thereported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results coulddiffer from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents—For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Society considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.Cash equivalents totaling $366,387 are included in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying statement of financial position.

Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding balances, reducedby an allowance for doubtful accounts, if any.

Management periodically evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts by considering the Society's past receivables loss experience, known and inherent risks in theaccounts receivable population, adverse situations that may affect a debtor’s ability to pay, andcurrent economic conditions.

Based on its experience with no losses from uncollectible accounts in the current and recentyears, the Society has no formal policies for determining that accounts receivable are past due orfor charging off accounts receivable. The current allowance for doubtful accounts is $-0-.

Inventory—Inventory consists of merchandise held for sale to members. The inventory is statedat the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Investments—Securities are held by SunTrust Banks, Inc., as agent and custodian. Investmentsin equity securities with readily determinable fair values and all investments in debt securitiesare carried at their fair values in the statement of financial position. Unrealized gains and lossesare included in the changes in net assets in the accompanying statement of activities.

In 1998, the Society consolidated the investments of endowments, certain temporarily restricted funds, and the board-designated fund into a master trust account. The Society makes distributions from the master trust for current operations under the total-return method.

Under the total-return method, fund distributions consist of net investment income and mayinclude a portion of the cumulative realized and unrealized gains. The Society's board of directorsestablishes a spending rate at the start of each fiscal year based on the 20-quarter rolling average fairvalue of the master trust. To the extent that distributions exceed net investment income, they aremade from realized gains and then unrealized gains.

A spending rate of 4.75% for the year ended June 30, 2008, resulted in distributions from the master trust of $1,081,000 to fund current operations.

Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed ona straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging between three and fortyyears. The Society capitalizes all expenditures for property and equipment in excess of $1,000.

The Society made extensive renovations during 1997 in order to ensure that its collections can bepreserved in their current condition or better if restoration work is performed in the future.Expenses related to the renovation are included in property and equipment in the statement offinancial position.

Historic Building—The historic building owned by the Society, Anderson House, was acquired bygift and has been the headquarters of the Society since 1939. Although the building has a uniquehistory and designation as a National Historic Landmark by the U.S. National Park Service, theSociety deems the building to have a finite life and that the building has been fully depreciatedsince its acquisition in 1939. Therefore, Anderson House is reflected at no net value in the statement of financial position.

Collections—The collections, which were acquired through purchases and contributions since theorganization's inception, are not recognized as assets on the statement of financial position.Purchases of collection items are recorded as decreases in unrestricted net assets in the year in whichthe items are acquired, or as decreases in temporarily restricted net assets if the assets used to purchase the items were restricted by donors. Contributed collection items are not reflected on thefinancial statements. Proceeds from deaccessions or insurance recoveries are reflected as increases inthe appropriate net asset classes.

Deferred Revenue—Deferred revenue consists primarily of deposits received from members forattendance at meetings to be held in the next year.

Unrestricted Net Assets—Unrestricted net assets represent the expendable net assets that are available for support of the Society and are included in the following funds:

Restricted and Unrestricted Support and Revenues—The Society reports gifts of cash and otherassets as restricted support if they are received with donor stipulations that limit the use of thedonated assets.

On January 1, 2006, the Society amended the Plan to include a 401(k) provision.

The Society also continues to provide health insurance to its retired employ-ees. This benefit for retirees is unfunded and the benefits are fixed at the time of retirement. As ofJune 30, 2008, all but one of the eligible participants in this plan are retired and receiving payments.

The assets of the Society are used to pay the benefits of eligible retirees. As of the measurementdate, June 30, 2008, the retirement plan had an unfunded liability of $638,991.

Total Amounts Owed 1,096,520Less Amount Representing Interest (359,491)

Net $ 737,029

13. PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTSCertain errors resulting in the omission of certain non-qualified, non-funded retirement andhealth insurance obligations in previous financial statements were discovered during the currentyear. Accordingly, an adjustment of $590,889 was made during 2008 to record the obligations asa liability as of the beginning of the year. A corresponding entry was made to reduce previouslyreported unrestricted net assets by $590,889. The effect of the restatement on change in netassets for the year ended June 30, 2007, was an increase of $7,999.

It was determined during the current year that the liability related to the split-interest agreements was understated in prior years. Accordingly, an adjustment of $18,090 was made toincrease the split-interest agreements annuity payable. A corresponding entry was made toreduce previously reported unrestricted net assets by $18,090. The effect of the restatement onchange in net assets for the year ended June 30, 2007, was a decrease of $3,578.

It was determined in the current year that previous earnings on permanently restricted net assetswere incorrectly classified as temporarily restricted rather than as unrestricted. Accordingly, anadjustment to reduce temporarily restricted net assets was made in the amount of $3,049,329. A corresponding entry was made to increase previously reported unrestricted net assets by$3,049,329. This adjustment had no effect on current or prior year changes in net assets.

The net effect of all adjustments is a decrease in total net assets of $608,979. The effect of allthree restatements on change in unrestricted net assets for the year ended June 30, 2007, was anincrease of $4,421. There were no changes in the changes in any restricted net assets for the yearended June 30, 2007.
