This renowned seaside hotel, completed in 1820, was patronized by the elite of Boston. According to Mrs. E.B. Larsen's American historical Views on Staffordshire China it was of stone, with wooden piazzas, and with its 100 rooms was considered very commodious. It is said to have been destroyed by fire in 1861. The steamboat shown is presumably the Eagle, which made daily trips from Boston. [The version of the view here] is apparently derived from the drawing by J.R. Penniman, concerning whom an article by Mabel M. Swan appeared in Antiques last month. The drawing (again to quote Mrs. Larsen) was engraved by Annin and Smith, printed by Monroe and Francis, and first published by Abel Bowen in [Caleb] Snow's History of Boston (1825)...The banjo clock is by Sawin & Dyar of Boston, who are recorded as working between 1800 and 1820. Since the engraving of the Nahant Hotel after Penniman's drawing did not appear until 1825, it would seem that this painting on glass was done after that year. Possibly Sawin and Dyar were working later than 1820. Or possibly, although the clock appears to be entirely in original condition, this glass may have replaced an earlier one. Still another possibility is that Penniman himself painted the glass, before his drawing had been engraved and published. He did ornamental painting for John Doggett, carver and looking-glass maker, and for the clockmaking Willards; why not for Sawin and Dyar?\" (322)."},{"label":"Subjects (AAT)","value":["Banjo clocks","Wall clocks"]},{"label":"Subjects","value":["Wall clocks","Banjo clocks"]},{"label":"Bibliography","value":"Article: \"The Almanac,\" Antiques 39, no. 5 (June 1941): 322."},{"label":"History of Ownership","value":"Previously owned by Chester S.
