Notes |
"This tragic image of a woman dressed in black, carrying a child through the snow, was created to illustrate 'Love in Death,' a poem published in the weekly periodical Good Words for 1862, pp. 184-85.... Walker exhibited a related painting, 'The Lost Path,' at the Royal Academy in 1863." (Met Museum) Frederick Walker's illustration is an imaginative interpretation of an incident that became known as the "Stratton Mountain Tragedy." Just before Christmas, 1821, Harrison and Lucy Blake, with their 13-month-old daughter Rebecca, were returning to New York after visiting family in Marlboro, Vermont, when they encountered deep snow at nightfall while crossing the Green Mountains. Their horse refused to go on and they attempted to reach shelter on foot. Lucy carried little Rebecca; Harrison gave her his overcoat. Harrison was found frostbitten and hypothermic the next morning. Further search found Lucy frozen to death, and near her, Rebecca, alive and wrapped in the overcoat. |
