Longfellow poem with girl spinning
I found this print from 1911 depicting a young girl at her flax wheel Raw flax is wound onto her distaff on her spinning wheel Notice that she is multi tasking cause she is also reading a book at the same time Smart girl! Did you know that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was living in Portland Maine in the early 19th century? His family was from Portland ,Maine Maine was apart of Massachusetts back then up to 1820
