Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the 19th century, a group of successful artists and professionals built or purchased houses in the small neighbouring towns of Plainfield and Cornish, New Hampshire. New York lawyer Charles Beaman arrived first and eventually persuaded a number of friends to join him. Sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens arrived in 1885 followed by a group of artists and writers that included Thomas Dewing, Henry Walker, Charles Platt, Stephen Parrish, his son Maxfield, and others. The social epicentre of the Colony became 'Mastlands', house of the Dr Arthur Nichols family. Prominent visitors from around the world toured the Nichols' gardens and danced in the ballroom at Mastlands. The Cornish Colony thrived into the 1960s, when two dramatic changes occurred: Mastlands was closed in 1963 and Maxfield Parrish died in 1966. The spirit of the Cornish Colony was sorely tried. Eventually, however, Mastlands reopened and was refurbished. In 1998, the house was purchased for use as The Cornish Colony Gallery and Museum by Alma Gilbert, recognised as one of the world's foremost experts in the work and life of Maxfield Parrish. Today the Museum celebrates the history and creativity of members of the Colony. The Cornish Colony Book of Days shares in the renewal of that spirit. Filled with images of works by Colonists Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the Parrishes and their friends, the book also combines classic as well as contemporary photographs of Mastlands and its gardens. Together these images evoke an era of idealism, artistic innovation and optimism that inspire our admiration today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Hampshires Cornish Colony illustrates this distinguished American art colony.

Known as the Athens of America, the Cornish Colony was a lively, glamorous society during its heyday from 1885 to 1925. One outstanding member, the famous artist Maxfield Parrish, was called a chickadee because he spent the entire year in Cornish, not merely the summer.

Book excerpt: The diaspora of the Cornish people around the globe was a remarkable phenomenon, second only in European population terms to the great migration from Ireland. A small but notable connection was made in France. This is the history of miners and their families from Cornwall who travelled to an unlikely destination in France to work the mines located in the Auvergne district of France in the town of Pontgibaud. From the 1850s to the end of that century those Cornish families became integrated with their hosts and their descendants spread around the world. This book explores both the progress of the mines and a biographical glimpse of those Cornish families.

Download or read book A Cornish Colony in Mexico written by Michael T Kiernan and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-24 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The connection between the two countries of Mexico and Cornwall is remarkable. In numerical terms, Mexico is not a destination which involved great numbers of the Cornish diaspora, the USA and Australia and, to a lesser extent, South Africa have a far more expansive story to tell. Mexico is a complex country with a different language, society and religion and, importantly, with no connections with the Colonies and Empire of Britain yet the bonds between the two countries have endured for almost 200 years. My first objective is to provide a record of the 'footsteps' of the Cornish in Mexico, some of which are slowly disappearing. This will be found partly in those chapters of this book that record Cornish/Mexican burial grounds that are, or have been lost, especially those in Mexico City. A second objective was to seek out activities of the Cornish that have not been recorded before. For instance, the findings set out in Chapter 2 illustrate how I believe the Cornish Methodists achieved a unique first in Mexico. I also found it necessary to try and search out the Cornish who were present in Mexico but not based in the towns of Pachuca and Real del Monte in Hidalgo State. Mexico is a vast country and I know there are still histories to be unearthed. Many of Cornish descent (in both countries) are reconstructing their family histories. My third objective was therefore to provide family information gleaned from both Cornish and Mexican archives. It is not possible to set out in a work of this nature all the information available, but perhaps some of my findings may advance those researches. Sadly, I am sure that I have made mistakes and so all my conclusions should be verified. In the final chapter I do try to include a general picture of the effect upon Cornwall of the Mexican connection, and the Cornish diaspora in general. In particular the impact upon those 'left behind' and family life.
