New Images from the Nathaniel Hawthorne Collection at Bowdoin College

The Hawthorne in Salem Website is delighted to announce that we have gained permission to photograph and post on our website the original watercolors by Hugh Thomson for the 1920 Methuen edition of The Scarlet Letter as well as the images as they appear in that book. All of these images are housed in the Nathaniel Hawthorne Collection, Bowdoin College Library, Brunswick, Maine. They appear in several places on our website, but you can most easily find them under Literature/Women in Hawthorne/The Scarlet Letter/images. To see the images side by side (not all of the images in the Methuen book are in the collection of original watercolors in the Bowdoin Library), go to Life and Times/Literary Career/Novels/images.

We have also gained permission from Meredith Publishing and the Ladies' Home Journal to publish the photograph W. L. Taylor's 1912 painting The Scarlet Letter which appeared in the March, 1923 issue of the LHJ.

We also have just posted a photograph of the 2007 commemorative plaque in the sidewalk at 97 Maine Street, Brunswick, ME. That image appears on Life and TImes/Biographical/Hawthorne at Bowdoin/images.

Finally, watch for other images from the Nathaniel Hawthorne Collection at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, ME, soon.
