JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL
Signed Autograph Sentiment on a small slip of ruled paper, mounted on
cardstock
Autograph sentiment signed "Yours Truly/J.R.Lowell". 3½x1¼ ruled
paper, mounted to a same-size sheet of cardstock. The works of James Russell
Lowell (1819-1891) include poetry (Commemoration Ode, Under the
Willows, Three Memorial Poems) and prose (Fireside Travels,
Among My Books, Political Essays). Lowell, who wrote in
conventional rhyme and meter, was considered one of the "Fireside Poets",
whose works were popular for family reading. Lowell, who succeeded to
Longfellow's chair at Harvard (1855-1876), was also the first editor of the
Atlantic Monthly (1857). Lowell was U.S. Minister to Spain (1877-1880)
and Great Britain (1880-1885), employing his legal, literary and linguistic
talents to good effect in both posts. Lowell was, of course, a member of the
venerable Lowell family, of whom it was said in Boston that "the Cabots speak
only to Lowells, and the Lowells speak only to God." Lightly toned. Ink
transference, which touches signature. Irregular top, left and bottom edges.
Folded once and unfolded. Otherwise in fine condition.
