Boult attorney’s donation sends paintings home

By E. Thomas Wood Posted on November 10, 2009 at 11:07 am

Bradley Arant Boult Cummings partner Henry Walker, whose firm was created through a merger with an Alabama firm this year, is donating a family heirloom to the public library in Huntsville. The gift is a rare collection of watercolors by Maria Howard Weeden (1846-1905), the Huntsville artist whose portraits of former slaves achieved recognition as far away as Berlin and Paris during her lifetime (and later served as templates for costume designers outfitting the slave characters in the film version of Gone with the Wind).

Walker’s late father, historian and Tennessean journalist Hugh Walker, handed the artworks down to him. The collection of four paintings, which Weeden tied together with a silver ribbon, includes her first known portrait of a former slave.

“This portrait launched her career as a nationally known painter of former slaves,” Walker said.  “It represents a watershed moment in her career.”

Walker got the idea of returning the paintings to their hometown after becoming acquainted with his new colleagues in the Huntsville office of BABC. He was a partner with Nashville’s Boult, Cummings Conners & Berry when it merged in January with Birmingham-based Bradley Arant Rose & White.
