Title A name given to the resource Romantic Landscape Description An account of the resource Allston’s early Romantic Landscape came to the Library from the estate of William Whiting, Jr. This painting was exhibited at the Boston Athenaeum in 1853, while in Whiting’s possession. Born in Concord in 1813, William Whiting, Jr. was a prominent Boston lawyer. A member of Harvard College Class of 1833, he taught in Plymouth and Concord (at the Academy) before graduating from Harvard Law School (1838). He was made solicitor for the United States War Department in 1862. Elected to Congress in 1872, he died in Boston in 1873, before beginning his term of office. Washington Allston—Romantic painter of landscapes, portraits, and historical, allegorical, and religious subjects—was born in South Carolina in 1779. He graduated from Harvard in 1800, sailed to London in 1801, studied at the Royal Academy under Benjamin West, then traveled to Paris, Switzerland, and Italy. He spent four years in Italy, where he met and grew close to Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Washington Irving. He returned to America in 1808 and married Ann Channing, sister of liberal minister William Ellery Channing. Allston exerted a powerful influence over the Transcendentalists’ concepts of art and aesthetics. Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Elizabeth Peabody, and many of their contemporaries wrote about him as one of the most important artists of his time.

Title A name given to the resource View of the Battleground, Concord Description An account of the resource The North Bridge area in Concord—and particularly the bridge itself—is powerfully symbolic of the struggle for independence that began here in 1775. But for more than eighty years (from 1793 until 1874), no bridge stood on the site where the Concord Fight had taken place. This oil painting of the battleground depicts the area in the mid-19th century, when there was no bridge. In 1793, the “rude bridge that arched the flood” was dismantled. Rather than rebuilding on a spot vulnerable to the elements and requiring frequent repair, the town erected a new bridge (Flint’s Bridge) near Abishai Flint’s, and relocated the road that had run on the north side of the river, where the Buttrick house stood, to the south side, thereby creating a section of what is now known as Monument Street. There was no bridge when Emerson’s “Concord Hymn” was sung at the 1837 dedication of the Battle Monument. A new bridge was finally constructed in 1874, when a Victorian cedar bridge, with gazebos, was put up for the 1875 centennial celebration of the Concord Fight. This oil painting bears a striking resemblance to a lithograph known to have been done by Gloucester (Massachusetts) landscape and marine painter and lithographer Fitz Hugh Lane (1804-1865) about 1840. Because the lithograph is signed by Lane, the unsigned painting has sometimes also been attributed to him. However, Lane specialists have not found sufficient evidence (stylistic or other) to ascribe the painting to the artist. It may have served as the source for Lane’s lithograph, or it may have been painted from the lithograph. Regardless of whose work the painting represents and of whether it preceded the lithograph or vice versa, the lithograph influenced mid-19th century consciousness of the spot on which the Concord Fight had taken place.

Title A name given to the resource The Philosophers' Camp in the Adirondacks Description An account of the resource This painting—one of the best-known in the Concord Free Public Library art collection—includes the figures of both Ralph Waldo Emerson (in the center, standing alone between two trees) and Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar (the first figure to the right of Emerson’s). It depicts a visit by the “Adirondack Club”—an offshoot of the Saturday Club—to the Adirondack wilderness in 1858. The trip was organized by William James Stillman (1828-1901), a friend of Saturday Club members and the painter of this piece. Stillman was a talented man of wide-ranging interests and occupations. He trained as an artist with Frederic Church—American landscape painter of the Hudson River school—and in London, where he was influenced by the pre-Raphaelites. He was also, at different points in his life, a journalist; a writer on art, current events, and other subjects; a diplomat (he was United States Consul in Crete and in Rome); a political activist, involved in Kossuth’s Hungarian revolution; and a photographer. He founded The Crayon, a journal of the graphic arts, and through this periodical became acquainted with a number of the writers and thinkers of his time. An outdoorsman, Stillman persuaded some of his friends in the Saturday Club to make a camping expedition to Follansbee Pond in the Adirondacks in 1858. The party included Emerson, James Russell Lowell, Louis Agassiz, Estes Howe, Jeffries Wyman, John Holmes, E.R. Hoar, Horatio Woodman, Amos Binney, Stillman, and a number of local Adirondack guides. Others were invited but declined to go. When Longfellow was asked, he inquired whether Emerson would be taking a gun. Told that Emerson would, in fact, have a gun, Longfellow replied that he wouldn’t go because someone was sure to be shot. Stillman’s Philosophers’ Camp is more than a record of the 1858 Adirondack Club trip. It represents the artist’s interpretation of the significance of that outing. Although Emerson’s figure does not dominate the painting, it is central. Behind Emerson (at the left), a cluster of campers is grouped around scientific naturalist Agassiz, who is dissecting a fish. In front of him (at the right), a group of marksmen engage in target practice under Stillman’s direction. (Stillman stands elbow-to-elbow with the figure raising a gun.) Emerson stands alone in the middle, soaking up the wild majesty around him, in contrast with his busy fellow campers, who are preoccupied with the concrete reality of nature. Stillman’s Emerson is moved by his immersion in the virgin forest and responds to it in a deeper, more spiritual way than the other campers. Emerson wrote a poem—“The Adirondacs”—about his experience on the 1858 trip. It was included in the collection May-Day (1867; Myerson A28). His son Edward later prepared a key identifying the vacationing “philosophers” in the painting (also in the Concord Free Public Library art collection).
