12748The “Spouting Horn” in a Storm

  • Fenn - Harry Fenn (1837-1911)
  • Linton - William James Linton (1812-1897)
  • Acadia National Park, HCTPR

"Even more dramatic is Fenn’s view of the Maine coast, ‘The Spouting Horn’ in a Storm,” with the mast of a wrecked ship, an example of the sublime associated with danger and man’s weakness in face of nature’s power. The metaphor of battle to describe the confrontation of sea and rocky coast had become a literary convention used by several Picturesque America writers." – Part of the author’s discussion of 19th century artists who added drama to what they saw when illustrating it, before the advent of photography. - "Creating picturesque America: Monument to the Natural and Cultural Landscape" by Sue Rainey, Vanderbilt University Press, 1994, p. 215. Drawn by Harry Fenn Wood Engraving by William James Linton

This photo appears on page 66 in Peter Blanchard's book "We Were an Island" but archivists at the Southwest Harbor Pubic Library believe that in the book it is printed backward (flipped horizontally). This is based on a) having scanned the original slide emulsion-side up, which is the correct way on a flatbed scanner and b) noting that the buildings in the background on Great Gott Island look reversed in the book photo. Northwood Kenway loaned the original Agfachrome 35mm slide to the Library for scanning. His daughter Nancy took the picture.
