National War College recognizes Laura Era for Historical Portrait
Maryland's Version of First Reading of Emancipation Proclamation, 2010, Laura Era,
The National Defense University National War College recognized Troika Gallery co-owner, Laura Era, for her painting of Maryland's Version of "First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation by President Lincoln" and the significant contribution that Anna Ella Carroll made as a woman in American history. Laura Era painted a stylized replica of Francis Bicknell Carpenter’s famous 1864 painting “The First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation by President Lincoln.” Carpenter’s painting hangs in the U.S. Capitol. Along with Lincoln and his cabinet members,
Carpenter's painting prominently depicts an empty chair draped with a red shawl, along with maps and notes similar to those Carroll carried. Many historians believe it was Carpenter’s way of acknowledging Carroll as the unrecognized member of the Cabinet. Era’s painting, titled “Maryland’s Version of The First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation,” includes the addition of Anna Ella Carroll sitting in the previously empty chair and wearing the red shawl. The National War College Class of 2016, Zena Members, Alumni Association, Friends of Anna Ella Carroll, F. Bittner, C.K. Larson, Brigadier General Darren E. Hartford and NWC Faculty, and Ms. Allene Lainey Mikrut all contributed to the dedication and the presented portrait of Anna Ella Carroll to the College.
