LIFE’s newly launched photo archive contains images of major poets from the 19th and 20th centuries, including Robert Frost, W.H. Auden, and Carl Sandburg. The photos, many of which were never published, go back as far as 1750. In the above picture, Frost entertains guests at a White House party for Nobel Prize winners.
Thanks for posting these. I’ve searched the Life database for other things, but not poets. Fun.
And photos from 1750? Wow, I’d like to see a photograph from then.
Isn’t 1750 a long way to go back for a photograph?
1750 is indeed a long way back for a photograph. Photography was not developed until the early nineteenth century.
@Jeanne, @Peter, @Kevin:
You’re right, of course — 1750 is a bit early for photography. I copied that figure from the archive’s homepage without realizing how impossible it sounded. (Serves me right for posting at 2 a.m.) I can’t imagine the reason for the claim, unless it’s a simple typo.
At any rate, I’ve crossed it out for now. Thanks for catching the discrepancy.
