The following is the third in a four-part series on books from the library of Sarah Orne Jewett (1849-1909) and her family.<\/em><\/p>\n

Presented to Jewett in 1885, this copy of Celia Thaxter\u2019s Poems<\/em> contains 22 original watercolor sketches by Thaxter, depicting flowers, birds, spiders, and seascapes. Best known for her poem \u201cThe Sandpiper,\u201d Celia Thaxter was, like Jewett, a celebrated author and a talented watercolorist, and both drew inspiration from their native coastal Maine. Later editions of Thaxter included a preface by Jewett. Thaxter\u2019s home on Appledore Island was a gathering place and literary salon for many luminaries of the day, including Emerson, Longfellow, and Whittier, and certainly Sarah Orne Jewett.<\/p>\n
