A Scene From Evangeline
A scene of Acadians (French settlers of the Canadian Maritime Provinces) as they dance and frolic to a fiddlers tune while a clergyman looks on in an illustration (after F.O.C. Darley) of a scene from an edition of Henry Wadsworth Longfellows poem Evangeline, a Tale of Acadie, published in 1893. The poem, which recounts the expulsion of the Acadians from the Maritimes after the Seven Years War, was first published in 1847 and while Longfellow had no connections to the Acadians his poem became a part of their collective culture.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to a scene of joyous celebration and cultural significance. Illustrated after F. O. C. Darley, the image depicts a lively gathering of Acadians, French settlers of the Canadian Maritime Provinces, as they dance and frolic to the enchanting tune of a fiddler. Amidst their merriment, a clergyman looks on with an observant gaze. Published in 1893 as part of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's renowned poem Evangeline, this illustration captures a moment from the tale that recounts the expulsion of the Acadians from their beloved Maritimes following the Seven Years War. Despite Longfellow's lack of personal connection to these resilient people, his poetic masterpiece became ingrained within their collective culture. The picture showcases various elements that define Acadian heritage - festivals celebrating traditions, children playing under tree canopies while adults sit on chairs nearby engrossed in conversation. The presence of both males and females highlights inclusivity within this vibrant community. As we delve into this archival print by Kean Collection/Getty Images, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how literature intertwines with real-life experiences. This evocative artwork not only pays homage to Acadian history but also serves as a testament to how art can transcend boundaries and become an integral part of cultural identity.
