8091Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's The Village Blacksmith on a Blackboard
  • Image, Photograph
  • Organizations, School Institution
  • 1906 c.
  • Southwest Harbor
When the new schoolhouse was built, the old building was sold to George Harmon and it was used for stores and apartments. Many years later the owners of the Harmon Block found, in one of the rooms, an old blackboard from when their building had been a school. On the blackboard was still part of the poem, "The Village Blacksmith" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and some doodling on it, remnants of a lesson from circa 1906! This date refers to the time the blackboard was last used. The board shows the 4th stanza of the poem: "And children coming home from school Look in at the open door; They love to see the flaming forge, And hear the bellows roar, And catch the burning sparks that fly Like chaff from a threshing floor." (From "The Village Blacksmith" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow from "Ballads and Other Poems" published in 1841)

Note: While the photograph was dated 1895, by hand some time after it was taken, archivists surmise that a date of c. 1900 is more reasonable. Jennie L. Richardson (1883-) was listed as a cook in 1910 census. Whatever post she held at the Claremont, she was not on the staff, nor in this photograph, at the age of 12 should the photograph have been taken in 1895.

"Practically every town in Victorian America boasted a photography studio. The proprietor, whether he knew it or not, was an early chronicler of family life. Newborns, graduates, brides, grooms, and entire families posed for the camera – alongside wicker props. Ornate wicker furniture made its debut in photography studios during the 1870s. Light, airy and noticeably three-dimensional in photographs, wicker props made greater headway in studios during the 1880s and early 1900s. Because it was so inexpensive and easy to store, photographers and the public took wicker to their hearts. In fact, fancy wicker pieces became known as “photographer’s chairs.” Wicker’s popularity in studios created a new market; Heywood Brothers and Wakefield Company featured in their 1898 catalogue an extremely ornate five-legged “posing chair” specifically designed as a photographer’s prop." - "Collector’s Guide to American Wicker Furniture," by Richard Saunders, published by Hearst Books, New York, 1983, p. 43. The following pages contain photographs showing various ornate wicker chairs that were used by photographers. The chair shown in this photograph appears on pages 47 and 57. The same chair, obviously used by Southwest Harbor photographer. J.C. Ralph, appears in other photographs in the library collection.
