By descent to the present owner."P.M. Along Bottom Road to Egypt and Albany - Near Sundown - In the shadowed Bottoms - From a swamp now I hear suddenly a rollicking bird song, like a songsparrow - shortly after the crinkling of a buggy on the road - Desolation of hillside Houses - At Albany where the Evening star came out in the afterglow - the moon hung in the zenith - dark windows
sound of voices
smoke pouring up from chimneys - Silent expectancy of houses - In the country the dark sky seems to be dissolving in the deathlike silence - In winter houses seem only half as large as in summer."- Charles E. Burchfield, January 20, 1918, Journals, Vol. 32 (courtesy of the Burchfield Penney Art Center, www.burchfieldpenney.org).The present work is accompanied by photocopies of the original bill of sale from Frank K.M.
