Ingram
Written by a New England poet and illustrated by one of America's greatest Impressionist painters, the book was originally published in 1894. This reissue faithfully reproduces the original paintings and is presented in an elegant slip-cased gift edition.
About the Author
Childe (Frederick) Hassam was an American painter and etcher born in Dorchester, Massachusetts and educated at the Boston Art School and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His works include July 14 Rue Daunon (1910) and Church at Gloucester (1918), both in the Metropolitan Museum, New York City.
About the time the facsimile edition was first published, Celia Thaxter"s garden was restored by volunteers according to the plans noted in this book. It is open to visitors through arrangements with Cornell University"s marine laboratory on nearby Star Island, off the coast of Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
