EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back to the Victorian era with its enchanting image of renowned American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Dressed in the formal attire of the time, Longfellow is depicted holding a lantern, adding an intriguing element to the scene. The Edwardian era, which followed the Victorian period, is also represented in this image by the elegant dress worn by the woman standing beside him. Longfellow's Victorian-era study is filled with the trappings of the time, including ornate woodwork, heavy velvet curtains, and an impressive collection of books. The warm glow of the lantern illuminates the room, casting long shadows and creating an intimate, cozy atmosphere. The poet's expression is thoughtful and introspective, reflecting the deep contemplation that often accompanied his writing process. This vintage photograph offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of one of America's most celebrated literary figures. It invites us to imagine Longfellow in his element, surrounded by the comforts and luxuries of his home, as he penned the timeless verses that continue to inspire and captivate readers to this day. The old-world charm of this image makes it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical photographs or literary memorabilia.
