For approximately sixteen years before he died at age 88, John Scholl created over forty imaginative sculptures that he stored in the parlor of his home in Germania, Potter County, Pennsylvania. A builder by trade, Scholl seemed to create these architectural forms as an extension of the decorative fretwork and scrollwork seen on the porches and gables of Victorian homes, many of which were made from pattern book templates. Incorporated into the whimsical creations were traditional European folk art motifs: birds, stars, and sunbursts.
Scholl was proud of his work, and enjoyed showing people through the collection; in good weather, he moved some it out into his yard. When he died of pneumonia, contracted after shoveling snow, Crested Swans was one of the pieces that surrounded Scholl's casket during the wake.

The nativity of Christ has been a popular subject in many artistic traditions. Here, the carver has included all the traditional elements arranged in a simple yet effective way, using few colors and creating the illusion of depth. Gold paint illuminates the baby, above whom an angel watches protectively.
Like the carver of the Santo [73.9], or the artisan who built the Tramp Art Shrine [87.4], Oliver Cheatham was an artist who expressed his religious devotion with wood and paint. Little else is known about him. The donor, Reverend Romig, came across a few pieces of his work on a sidewalk in New York City; the artist had died, and his family was throwing his things away. Fortunately, Reverend Romig recognized the beauty of the work, retrieved what he could, and kindly donated two pieces to the Memorial Art Gallery: The Nativity and The Last Supper [99.14], which is being conserved.
