EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration for "The Courtship of Miles Standish" by the renowned poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Created as a colour lithograph by the talented artist Howard Chandler Christy, this piece is a true gem in any art collection. The scene depicted in this artwork captures a pivotal moment from Longfellow's epic poem. With meticulous attention to detail, Christy brings to life the words of Longfellow as we witness two characters engaged in a heartfelt conversation. The famous quote, "Why don't you speak for yourself, John?" resonates with emotion and adds depth to the narrative. Originally published in 1903 by Bobbs-Merrill, this illustration is part of a series that beautifully complements Longfellow's poetic verses. The Private Collection that houses this remarkable print has preserved its historical significance and artistic brilliance. As viewers admire this masterpiece, they are transported back to early America when Pilgrim Fathers settled in Plymouth Colony. The Puritan influence is palpable as we delve into the lives of these settlers through their courtships and love stories. With its rich colors and intricate details, this print serves as a visual testament to both American history and literary excellence. It encapsulates the spirit of adventure and romance that defined early America while paying homage to two great artists - Longfellow and Christy.
