Companion Print to

Country of the Pointed Firs

Country of the Pointed Firs is the world from which this lithograph is drawn. You can almost hear the gulls above the pointed firs that line the waterways of the country in which Sarah Orne Jewett’s delightful story is told.

Behind the Scene

The title of this dyptich comes from The Country of the Pointed Firs by Sarah Orne Jewett.

Jewett’s 1896 classic is set along the rocky, tree-clad coast of Maine in the fictional village of Dunnet Landing. In the lyrical seclusion of such a setting, a writer spends the summer as a boarder in the home of Mrs. Almira Todd. And so it is that this little diptych is both a window and a vista onto the spirit of that imaginary summer. It is a glimpse of the world of Almira Todd, the salt-air world of Green Island and Shell Heap Island, the world of Mrs. Blackett and brother William, poor Joanna and the people of Black Island.
