Frederick Fiebig Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) 1847 Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) These six sectional images are lithograph prints that comprise one drawing by Frederick Fiebig entitled Panorama of Calcutta. Together the images depict a detailed view of Calcutta, India in 1847. The first section shows Fort William, which was rebuilt to the south of Calcutta in 1757 and was enabled with extensive defenses. The greens between Fort William and the Government House, complete with Calcutta Cricket Club’s cricket field can be found on the second section of the drawing. On the third section one can view the Government House, Eden Gardens, and a temporary dwelling for nearby troops. The fourth section depicts Esplanade Row and large water tank on the Maidan, as well as the mosque built in 1842 by Prince Ghulam Mahomed. The fifth section shows the main European residential area of Calcutta, known as Chowringhee Road. Finally in the sixth section of Fiebig’s drawing one can see an extension of Chowringhee Road as well as tanks that supply the city’s main water supply and St. Paul’s Cathedral. Together these images form a representation of Calcutta in the late 1840’s. As regards the novel The Lamplighter, this portrayal of Calcutta, India was likely close to what the author had in mind when she set the travels of Willie Sullivan there. This lithograph is helpful because it discloses the setup of the city in minute detail, allowing the reader to more fully understand the setting in which Willie received his training during the 1840’s. For example, by looking at the drawing one can ascertain the presence of the government at the time, the places available for worship and leisure, and even what source Willie’s water was likely to be coming from. Though not much is disclosed in the novel about Willie’s exact movements throughout the city, by looking at the lithograph of Fiebig’s drawing the reader can better imagine what Willie’s life would have been like there.

In The Lamplighter, Dr. Jeremy was used to riding on the train because there was never a steamboat, but since there was a new way of travel, he decided to meet up with Dr. Gryesworth. However, later in the novel, the doctors learn that the way of the steamboat was not as safe as this article would describe, and that they would have been much more safe if they had ridden on the railroad like usual. “Thankful were the party when they were safe on the steamboat” (ch. Xxxiv para. 3) because they were scared while in a dangerous situation. Contributor The name of the person who obtained, uploaded, and described the item.

William Aiton (M.D.) Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) 1832 Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) At the time in which Gerty and her mother are separated from Mr. Phillips by the malaria epidemic, the rampant disease was thought to be spread by ‘bad air’. The author of this dissertation, published in 1832, was one of the first to notice that the disease was most prevalent in cities with stagnant water and overseas trade, like that of Rio de Janeiro. Throughout his dissertation he concludes that the disease grows and spreads in stagnant water, whereas today we know that the disease spreads through mosquitoes. However, his reasoning was not far off, for we also know that mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant water; so, in fact, the disease was inadvertently spreading in the shallow pools and stagnant water with every birth of new mosquito larvae. This is relevant to the novel because of Gerty and her mother’s forced separation from Mr. Phillips, her father. When the disease swept the city in which Mr. Phillips inhabited, at the time away from his family, he barely held onto his life, only to come crawling back to his nearly deserted town and empty home.

Creator Enter the name of the author or other creator of the document or image exactly as (s)he is identified in the document. If no author is specified there, see fields guide. Ballou's Pictorial Drawing - Room Companion [American Periodicals] Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) 1859/12/17 Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) This article from Ballou's Pictorial Drawing - Room Companion describes the Washington Building on Washington St, Boston. It describes elements of Washington St such as winding, strangely constructed buildings, and the new Washington Building which has started the conversion from old to new. Washington St. is also a place where “Money is advanced bolding and lavishly for the erection of commanding structures, many of which exceed in grandeur and commercial edifices in the cities of the old world,” meaning Washington St. is a place coming up in the professional world through investment of making old building fit into a new style. This works in conjunction with The Lamplighter when Mr. Bruce is discussing Gerty’s where-a-bouts in Boston. Mr. Bruce speaks about wishing to accompany Miss. Flint for a stroll down Washington St. She denies ever being on that street. Mr. Bruce rebuttal, “But you would have done so with a suitable escort.” Mr. Bruce is a spoiled, lazy, and smug gentleman who has family money, hence his visit to Europe. He thinks himself as a suitable partner for Gerty. Suitable enough to escort a lovely young woman down an up and coming, populous street.

Lodgings for the Poor [a look at the current living conditions of the poor] Creator Enter the name of the author or other creator of the document or image exactly as (s)he is identified in the document. If no author is specified there, see fields guide. Boston Traveller Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) 1847-12-04 Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) The newspaper article provides an interesting insight into the living conditions and perceived morality of the poor. In The Lamplighter, Nan Grant’s house resembles the description of the house and living conditions that exist within this article. The article describes the exterior of the house to be “miserable” and “beastly." This is similar to the description of Nan Grant’s house, “Upon the wooden door-step of a low roofed, dark, and unwholesome-looking house, sat a little girl, who was gazing up the street with much earnestness" (Cummins 1). Nan Grant’s house is described as sad and unwelcoming. It is cold and the conditions for the people living in the house are very pitiable. The article’s description of the houses supports the presence of Nan Grant’s house. Nan Grant’s house and the houses in the novel are small, uncomfortable, and sad. Furthermore, the description of the houses in the article sheds further light on Nan Grant’s house. The reader is able to connect Nan Grant’s house to Boston because the article provides a colorful explanation of the poor houses there. In addition, the article goes on to describe the people living inside the houses as having no “self-respect”, “honesty”, and “integrity." The description of the poor living in the houses in Boston provides support for the actions of Nan Grant and Gerty. Nan Grant and Gerty are both immoral and hurtful in their conduct. The article goes on to state that poverty causes the poor to become “vicious." This statement supports the actions of Nan Grant, “Nan was a Scotchwoman, no longer young, and with a temper which, never good, became worse as she grew older” (Cummins 9). Nan Grant is portrayed as angry and hurtful. She is almost like an animal waiting to strike. The article supports Nan Grant’s actions as being legitimate to poor people in that time period. Furthermore, Nan Grant’s history of poverty has caused her to become the person she is in the novel, “She had seen life’s roughest side, had always been a hard-working woman, and had the reputation of being very smart and a driver” (Cummins 9). The article provides further insight into Nan Grant’s attitude because it states that the constant turmoil and labor of the poor causes them to become harsh and immoral. This article provides support for the actions of Nan Grant. She is a product of the struggle of poverty, like others in Boston. The description of Nan Grant’s house is similar to other houses that belong to the poor in Boston. This provides further insight into the ability of Nan Grant’s character to be legitimate. The article supports the phenomena that the outside is a good judge of what is inside. Contributor The name of the person who obtained, uploaded, and described the item.

Dean Labree Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) 1843-08-23 Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) This article is significant to The Lamplighter because they were both written around the same time. The article discusses Washington Street in Boston, which is where certain parts in the book take place. The article also describes how there was an old building that used to be one of the head quarters for a commander-in-chief of England’s colonial troops. The information from this document allows us to paint a picture of what Washington Street looked like in the mid to late 1800s. We get a better idea of where Gertrude was in the book at the same time and place of the document. Washington Street appears on page 136 in the Lamplighter when Gertrude is speaking with Mr. Bruce. Mr. Bruce tells Gertrude how he would have liked to walk down Washington Street with her and she replies, “I did not go down Washington-street.” From their conversation it appears as though Washington Street is one of the main streets in Boston at that time.

This relates back to The Lamplighter because during the story, we see Gertrude receive a letter from her father, who describes what happened during the California Gold Rush, where many people moved from their homes to California, in order to try and profit on the recent discovery of gold. We see in the lithograph the people moving across the Rocky Mountains, moving to California in order to capitalize on this. The lithograph shows us how these people crossed to their new homeland, bringing everything on covered wagons and hauling it across the United States.

The building has a fine appearance to it and also attracts guest to the Saratoga Springs.
