- Description (Brief)
- Gerome Ferris signed and dated the pen and ink drawing of Evangeline, heroine of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s epic poem of that name, for reproduction as a photo-engraving for an auction catalog. There is a penciled note below the image about Evangeline’s spindle to New York publisher Charles Klackner. The touches of white were meant to heighten the black and white contrast for reproduction.
