EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph, we are transported back to the late 19th century, where a man stands in front of Longfellow's house, holding his child's hand. The image captures a moment of nostalgia as the man gazes at the home of his childhood. Longfellow's house, located in Portland, Maine, serves as a symbol of American literature and poetry. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow himself was an esteemed poet known for his iconic works such as "Paul Revere's Ride" "The Song of Hiawatha" and "The Courtship of Miles Standish". His literary contributions have left an indelible mark on American culture. This print also highlights another art form that intertwines with Longfellow's poem - music. The sheet music cover depicts John Blockley's musical adaptation titled "The Old House by the Lindens (The Open Door)". This collaboration between two artistic minds showcases how different forms of expression can come together harmoniously. Surrounded by nature, with trees framing the scene, this image evokes a sense of tranquility and connection to the country. It reminds us not only of our roots but also invites us to reflect on our own memories and experiences tied to our childhood homes. As we observe this poignant moment frozen in time through Ann Ronan Pictures' lens, we are reminded that great works like these continue to inspire generations long after their creators have departed from this world.
