- This Week’s Cover
- In case you wonder how an artist knows where to go to find exactly the scenery and characters he needs, you may find a partial answer in the history of the painting on this week’s cover. A couple of visitors from Maine dropped into Artist Mead Schaeffer’s home in Arlington, Vermont. Schaeffer told them he hoped to get up their way soon, on a search for material. He was going to paint a lobster-fishing picture, as lobster fishing is done in families where father teaches the skill to son. The visitors listened to a long description of just what Schaeffer wanted, and should have been impressed with an artist’s willingness to search the whole seaboard for precisely the right spot. But all they said was: “Port Clyde.” Mead went to Port Clyde, Maine, and found exactly what he wanted. His models were Alvin Chadwick, of Port Clyde, and Chadwick’s grandson.
