If no author is specified there, see fields guide. Adolphe Smith Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) 1912 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 item is a book about the past and the present (with respect to the published year of this book, 1912) of Monaco and Monte Carlo – from the same timeline as the novel. The item is written by an English photographer and Journalist Adolphe Smith. Having worked with a lot of high officials, he was also an interpreter for the International Peace Congress, and hence knew the Prince of Monaco personally. He was able to research deeply on the culture of Monte Carlo, and discuss about the “art, beauty, luxury, pleasure, extravagance and folly” as stated in the item. Monte Carlo is described by the author in the preface as “a haven for the fine arts, especially with those connected with music and the stage.” In the item, the author gives us a description of these fine arts – singing, dancing, the Russian ballet, French comedies, orchestra and the Monte Carlo opera. We also get a good insight on sports, casinos, casino gardens and behind the scenes of gambling in Monte Carlo, as well as some other popular tourist exhibits such as the palace and the Condamine. The information from the item helps us understand why Monte Carlo is significant to the novel. During the time of the book, Monte Carlo was a very popular destination for tourists consisting of people of the upper class. Lily Bart, the protagonist of the story, travels to Monte Carlo on part two of the book “The House of Mirth” with the Dorsets. Lily’s aim was to get into the elite social class, so we can relate to the luxurious and extravagant lifestyle stated by Adolphe Smith to Lily’s journeys on the Dorset’s yacht. The novel describes Monte Carlo to “offer an infinity ways being idle.” (Chapter 1 Book 2), with mentions of gambling and stage programs. This can be related to the description of the fine arts in this item as mentioned before. There is also a description of the casino garden in the novel, which can be traced to this item. In the same chapter (Chapter 1 Book 2), Selden, Jack Stepney, The Brys and Lord Hubert Dacey is described as going to the Condamine for lunch.

Most Melancholy Occurrence [a look at death in boarding houses] 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. Daily National Intelligencer Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) 1824-08-16 *The date of the article is many years before the time period depicted in the novel. However, the contents of the article provide such an interesting insight into death in boarding houses that the difference can be overlooked. Furthermore, the content of the article does not go into detail about topics that would not be relatable to individuals living in boarding houses in the time period of the novel. 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) In the novel, The House of Mirth, Lily Bart is forced to live in a boarding house because she has no money left. Lily is extremely depressed about living in the boarding house, “The day’s task done, she dreaded to return to her narrow room, with its blotched wallpaper and shabby paint; and she hated every step of the walk thither, through the degradation of a New York street in the last stages of decline from fashion to commerce” (Wharton 233). The boarding house and Lily have become very similar. Both have declined from wealth to poverty. The article, “Most Melancholy Occurrence,” also highlights this degradation from fashion. In the article, two wealthy brothers have succumbed to debt, as Lily has also. This shows that Lily’s situation is realistic. At this time many people declined from wealth and were forced to live in a boarding house. Furthermore, the two men in the article fell from fashion because of amounting debts. This situation is similar to Lily’s because she too is in debt. The brothers’ situation in the boarding house helps the reader to understand that boarding houses were a place for people in economic trouble. This would make the boarding house appear to be a sad and deteriorating place. In addition, the two men in the article later commit suicide because of their insurmountable debt and depression from living in the boarding house. This sheds light onto Lily’s death, “Perspective had disappeared- the next day pressed close upon her, and on its heels came the days that were to follow- they swarmed about her like a shrieking mob” (Wharton 262). This quote shows that Lily was feeling trapped and thought the only way to escape was by drinking a dangerous dose of sleeping medication. This further supports the idea that Lily committed suicide and did not accidentally kill herself. This view is supported by the suicide of the two brothers. Suicide was not an unknown occurrence in boarding houses. Therefore, Lily could have committed suicide like the brothers did because of debt and depression. The boarding house was not a welcoming place for individuals in debt. *The date of the article is many years before the time period depicted in the novel. However, the contents of the article provide such an interesting insight into death in boarding houses that the difference can be overlooked. Furthermore, the content of the article does not go into detail about topics that would not be relatable to individuals living in boarding houses in the time period of the novel.

Roger Smith, photographer Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) June, 1943 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 is a photograph of a street scene in Harlem, New York in June of 1943. It is part of The Farm Security Administration - Office of War Information Photograph Collection, a gathering of black-and-white negative prints from a variety of sources, which comprise a photographic history of life in America from 1935-1944. In The Color Purple, Nettie writes to Celie about visiting Harlem, New York prior to leaving for Africa on her missionary trip. This photograph depicts Harlem, New York as Nettie may have observed it during her time there. Nettie is amazed that black people “own a whole section” of the beautiful New York City. She notes the number of churches and that she sees “colored people” in motor cars and fine houses with “indoor toilets” and “gas or electric lights.” The people Nettie meets in Harlem are kind and generous to her and the family’s missionary causes. In this photograph, one can see houses, “motor cars,” storefronts, and the people of Harlem conversing jovially on the street. To Nettie, Harlem, New York evokes a sense of hope for black people in America especially when compared to the environment in which she grows up.
