| Illustration by Genevieve Cowles of Phoebe in The House of the Seven Gables from the 1899 edition published by Houghton Mifflin
John L. Idol, jr. said in a lecture at the House of the Seven Gables in the fall of 2000 that in this illustration Genevieve Cowles captures the sunny traits of Phoebe that Hawthorne stresses about her in the garden scene in which she feeds the degenerated remnants of the Pyncheon flock of chickens. (with special thanks to Dr. John L. Idol Jr.) |
