Picturing Emerson reproduces and explores the background of all
known images of Ralph Waldo Emerson created from life, including
drawings, paintings, silhouettes, sculptures, and photographs. The
book provides dates for these images; information about their
makers and Emerson's sittings; as well as commentary by family
members and contemporaries. The resulting work makes it possible
for the first time to trace Emerson's visage over seven decades.
Dating and correctly identifying images of Emerson has long
challenged scholars, collectors, and the general public. By
examining over fifty years of archival and published
research-including web resources, library catalogs, and
correspondence with international collections-the authors have been
able to locate nearly 140 images dating from 1829 to immediately
before Emerson's death in 1882. Joel Myerson has written or edited
over sixty books on Emerson and the Transcendentalists, most
recently Ralph Waldo Emerson: The Major Prose with Ronald A. Bosco.
They have jointly received the Julian P. Boyd Award, the highest
award presented by the Association for Documentary Editing. Leslie
Perrin Wilson is a curator at the Concord Free Public Library, a
repository known for significant holdings of Emerson portraiture.
She has written extensively on local historical and literary
topics.
