At high tide I used to see the salt water in the grass on the southern edge of the sidewalk, or watch the tall masts of a Maine lumber schooner being towed up the river to Watertown. Carr, who walked up Brattle Street with the help of an Alpenstock.īrattle Street was either deep in mud or deep in dust, but the fine houses of Tory Row stood almost alone from Hawthorne Street to Elmwood. William Newell, who would sit at a dinner party with an open umbrella behind him to keep off the draft, and Mr. Other quaint characters in Cambridge were Mr. He painted for his own pleasure and instruction, and, so far as I know, was the first man hereabouts to formulate the colors of the spectrum into a language and system which could be taught and could be employed by any intelligent artist but woe betide a pupil who used the stimulation of his teaching to think for himself and make any change in the system! His monument is the remarkable Ross Collection at the Fine Arts Museum of Boston. He had a gentle way of talking, but had a force in his teaching of art and taste which was quite remarkable. Miss Nathurst’s cousin, who also lived next door, was Denman Ross, one of the quaint characters of Cambridge.
Those were happy days when a horse and buggy could be driven up Brattle Street on either side with not a care in the world - unless the horse ran away! For a runaway horse tearing along with dragging reins and a wide-eyed terrified woman on the front seat was not an uncommon sight. It was good pasturage all the way in the 1870s.
My first professional adventure (to call it so) occurred when Miss Nathurst, who lived next door, seized a portrait of mine, made perhaps at the age of six or seven - a drawing of the “Old Man with the Cows.”The man in the portrait used to pasture his three cows by letting them walk slowly from East Cambridge through Craigie Street to Mount Auburn and back. On a warm evening in May, the silence of Brattle Street was hardly broken by the faint trilling of the creatures who dwelt in Smith’s Pond, and then perhaps one heard the romantic sound of young men’s voices singing as they walked out from the College, first faint in the distance, then growing louder, and then dying away far up the street.
A horsecar rushed down Craigie Street with a big man in a buffalo-skin driving four horses at full gallop, disappearing in the whiteness of the distance. In the seventies and eighties, I should say that the winters in Cambridge were always white with snow and the air was filled with the sweet tingling of sleigh bells. It does not store any personal data.I AM going to ramble as an old man and tell some of the things which in these days may seem quaint or amusing, and which will lead to some of the mild adventures of a portrait painter.
