2735. Lot 6 Booth
Tarkington (1869-1946) related photos) c.1936. A native of
Indianapolis, student at Princeton (Class of 1893), was perhaps Indiana's
most famous author, both as playwright and as novelist. His best-known
works were written in the first decades of the twentieth century: The
Gentleman from Indiana (1899), Penrod (1910), Seventeen (1917), The
Magnificent Ambersons (1918), and Alice Adams (1921). The last two won
Pulitzer Prizes. The 1921 Publishers Weekly poll of booksellers rated him
the most significant contemporary American author, above Sinclair Lewis,
Robert Frost and Carl Sandburg. His short story, "Cider of
Normandy," won the 1931 O. Henry Memorial Award. Tarkington was
married twice. His first marriage, in 1902 to Laurel Louise Fletcher,
ended in divorce in 1911. In 1912 he married Susanah Kiefer Robinson of
Dayton. During their later years, the Tarkingtons spent about half of each
year at their home in Indianapolis and the other half at Seawood, the home
they developed at Kennebunkport, Maine. The home at Kennebunkport
included, besides the house, a schooner- the Regina, and "The
Floats," a boathouse to which Tarkington went afternoons for coffee
and conversation. Writer Kenneth
Roberts was a close neighbor and friend. The boathouse is now the
Kennebunkport Maritime Museum/Gallery. Lot includes six photographs
removed from an album and include views of the schooner Regina, Mrs. Fog,
Tarkington’s nurse, and of Captain Montgomery, who was the inspiration
for “Captain Ballentine” in Tarkington’s books. The views of the
schooner Regina, owned by author Booth Tarkington, show her docked on the
Kennebunk River. This schooner served as Tarkington's summer studio as
well. Two views show scenes of Booth's shipkeeper or captain, on deck of
the Regina, in the 1930's. All in excellent condition, very sharp and
clear, perfect for framing. (VG+). $64.
