The Thoreau Institute Receives a
Robert Sargent Fay
Rendering of the 1856 Benjamin D. Maxham Daguerreotype
of Henry D. Thoreau

On 23 February 2007 the Thoreau Institute was presented with a rendering, by Robert Sargent Fay, of the Benjamin D. Maxham daguerreotype of Thoreau given to Calvin H. Greene in 1856. Based on a first-generation resin print of the original daguerreotype, this portrait was created and prepared in 2006 (150 years after the original daguerreotype was taken) for the Thoreau Institute’s Library. Robert Sargent Fay's photographs are held in the collections of Amherst College, the Currier Museum of Art, the Farnsworth Art Museum and the Mariposa Museum. He has created portfolios of photographs for the MacDowell Colony, the Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music, Ken Burns and Florentine Films, and the Public Broadcasting System (Alexandria, Virginia). His Ocian in View! O! the Joy: A Collection of Photographs of the American West was published in 2006.

New: Photo gallery of all 208 Herbert Gleason photographs from the The Writings of Henry David Thoreau published in 1906.
