EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1857, showcases the picturesque home of renowned American romantic poet, journalist, and long-time editor of the New York Evening Post, William Cullen Bryant. Nestled in the quaint village of Roslyn, located on the North Shore of Long Island, New York, USA, the house stands as a testament to the rich history of American literature. Born in 1794, Bryant was a prominent figure in the literary world during the 19th century. His poetic works, including "Thanatopsis" and "To a Waterfowl," captured the essence of the American landscape and the human condition. His journalistic career began in 1825 when he joined the New-Yorker, later becoming the editor of the New York Evening Post in 1833, a position he held until his retirement in 1872. The house at Roslyn, built in 1857, served as Bryant's refuge from the bustling city life. The serene surroundings provided him with the inspiration and tranquility he needed to pen his poetic masterpieces. The house, with its charming colonial architecture, is a reflection of the simple yet elegant lifestyle that Bryant embraced. The photograph, taken in 1857, captures the essence of the house and its surroundings, transporting us back in time to an era of literary greatness and American history. The house at Roslyn stands as a reminder of Bryant's significant contributions to American literature and journalism, and serves as a cherished piece of history for literature enthusiasts and historians alike.
