About This Item
Autograph of American author and poet Celia Thaxter (1835-1894.) In black ink on a card with rounded corners. Approx. 3 x 5.5. inches. VG with a couple of small spots. Thaxter was one of the most popular New England poets of the latter 19th century. She spent much of her life on the isolated Isles of Shoals off the coast of New Hampshire. Her father operated a resort hotel on Appledore Island, where she cultivated her celebrated garden and established a summer salon of fellow artists and authors. Her literary circle included Hawthorne, Emerson, Longfellow, and Holmes, and among her close friends were Sarah Orne Jewett, Annie Fields, and the artists Childe Hassam and William Morris Hunt. Along with her poetry, Thaxter is best remembered for her autobiographical works Among the Isles of Shoals (1878) and My Island Garden (1894.)
