This vintage postcard showcases Longfellow’s Armchair, a cherished piece of history from the poet’s home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Presented to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on his 72nd birthday by the children of Cambridge, the chair holds special significance, crafted from the wood of "the spreading chestnut tree" made famous in his beloved poem, "The Village Blacksmith." The chair’s simple yet dignified design serves as a lasting symbol of the poet’s connection to the town and his literary legacy. As a place where Longfellow once sat, this chair embodies the charm and inspiration of 19th-century New England. This vintage postcard would look great framed and make a nice addition to any collection.
