This is the only known extant photographic image of Maine's first novelist, Sally Sayward Barrell Keating Wood, known as "Madame Wood," who was about 80 years of age at this sitting.
Her first novel, <em>Julia, and the illuminated baron / a novel: founded on recent facts, which have transpired in the course of the late revolution of moral principles in France</em> was published in 1800.
She is wearing conservative clothing -- a style worn predominantly in an earlier era. The author probably wore black as a sign of mourning for the losses of many of her family members, including her last remaining child, a son.

Sally Sayward Barrell Keating Wood
<em>Julia and the Illuminated Baron</em> is in its original binding and is the first edition of the first novel written by Maine's first novelist, Sally Sayward Barrell Keating Wood in 1800 in York (then a part of Massachusetts).
Set in the last days of France's "ancien regime," the novel traces the fractured family history of Julia Vallaice. Raised as a peasant but given an elite education, Julia must uncover the mystery of her origins, disentangle her complicated relationships with the aristocratic Alvada and de Launa families, and resist seduction by a murderous aristocrat.
This edition is found in only 13 libraries world-wide.

An 1880s photograph includes what may be the entire seminary standing in front of the first dormitory, Goddard Hall, with faculty near the center and students on either end.
Goddard was the second building on the Westbrook Seminary campus and named for major donor Thomas A. Goddard of Boston. The 1857 Italianate had a double entrance on the second level. The building, which originally housed both males and females, was divided from basement to attic by a brick wall that prevented entrance from one side to the other.
Hersey Hall, just beyond Goddard, was the second dormitory and the third building on the Westbrook Seminary campus. Built in 1869, it was named for Samuel F. Hersey, a Bangor timber baron who made the largest financial donation for its construction.
It has Italianate details and was noted when it opened for the “bathing room” on each dorm floor.

This engraving of the Seminary Building by Oliver appears in the 1892 Westbrook Seminary catalogue.
In the 1890s the old Seminary Building needed work, and alumni were approached for donations. Steam heat was added and a new chemistry laboratory was added in the basement. In 1894 the Seminary Building was renamed Alumni Hall after alumni had contributed to its repair and renovation.

Westbrook Seminary and Female Collegiate Institute was located in Stevens Plains, Westbrook, in 1868 when this photo was taken by Augustus H. Folsom of Roxbury, Massachusetts.
The Gothic church in the foreground (later known as All Souls Church) was built in 1867 for the First Universalist Society of Westbrook. The brick Italianate Goddard Hall was built in 1857 and named for major donor Thomas A. Goddard of Boston. The small frame building in the field beyond Goddard Hall was moved from Allen's Corner and served as the seminary's own chapel and assembly hall. At the head of the campus stands the original Seminary Building, built in 1834.

Augustus H. Folsom
When Westbrook Seminary opened in 1834, its only building was this painted brick structure holding classrooms and adorned with the tower removed from the recently remodeled Portland City Hall. Known only as the Seminary Building, it was built at a cost of $7,000 and described in the "Christian Intelligencer" as a "handsome building, set on an open plain, with a grove of pines to the rear and with classroom accommodations for 124 scholars."
This is an 1868 photograph by Augustus H. Folsom.

Zachiariah Brackett Stevens
Made by Zachiariah Stevens for his daughter Emmeline, this tinware pincushion box came from the attic of the Zachiariah Stevens / Cordelia Pierce home, Stevens Plains, Westbrook.
Zachiariah Stevens opened the first Stevens Plains tin shop in 1798. He and his sons were tinsmiths. They made the tinware and peddled it through northern New England and Canada while the Stevens women decorated and painted it.
Zachiariah Stevens and Oliver Buckley, also a tinsmith, donated the original eight acres on Stevens Plains for Westbrook Seminary.
