Description:
1961. Photograph. About Fine. Vintage 8" x 10" photograph of Frost seated outside a house next to a woman (the recipient?) with two men seated on each side of them, with the stamp of the photographer on the verso: John F. Smith, Jr. of Middlebury, Vermont. Loosely inserted into a mat on which at the bottom is SIGNED and INSCRIBED by the poet: "to Elaine McAllister from Robert Frost Bread Loaf VT '61/Christmas greetings." It is likely that the other seated men are writers and/or teachers at Bread Loaf, but we were unable to identify them.

Repton, VT, August 1960. Photograph. Slight crease in upper right margin of photograph away from the writing. About Fine. Vintage matte-finish 8" x 10" photograph of Frost standing outside a house, SIGNED and INSCRIBED by the poet on his white shirt offering excellent contrast: "Robert Frost/his best wishes to/Bob Steele/Repton Vermont/Aug.1960." Steele is likely Robert Lee "Bob" Steele, the radio personality who dominated the morning radio scene in Southern New England for decades. Quick with a pun (and a corny joke or two), Steele’s respect for the spoken word was renowned. He regularly shared with his audience tips and lessons on grammar and pronunciation, including his Word for the Day, an always popular part of his show.
