In 1902, esteemed watercolorist Samuel Peter Rolt Triscott (1846–1925), enamored with Monhegan’s beauty and remoteness, became the first artist to live there year-round, painting watercolors and oils and producing hand-tinted photographs.
Richard Malone’s writing complements Triscott’s masterful landscapes and glass plate photos, many of which are paired to show the same Monhegan vistas.
