Description

Black and white photograph of a bronze sculpture of poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, by Robert G. Willis, standing in Harbor Hill Park, Camden, Maine. The sculpture depicts Millay in period dress, standing upright with her head slightly turned and her hands holding a book behind her back. She gazes outward, over the waters of Camden Harbor. The figure is positioned on a roughly hewn stone pedestal with her name engraved at her feet. The background features grass, parked cars, and trees, providing a quiet, outdoor atmosphere. The sculpture was dedicated August 15, 1989. 1994. Jill Linzee, photograph. (See p16257-p16259.) (See NA4800.)
